Any white WRs on the depth chart?

Any white WRs on the depth chart?

Top 5 wrs are all black upperclassmen, so doubtful a white wr sees action this year. The next 4 younger guys on the depth chart are white. Ricky Finco (JR) is listed at 6th, 5'7 180 Transfer from UW-Whitewater. Both Henry Houlden(RFR.)nd Peter Roy(RSO.)are lanky in-state walk-ons. Speedy Florida native Andrew James(RFR.) is last on the depth chart, but he's got explosive speed(4.3) skinny though came in at 5'10 160 he'll be a threat once he bulks up.

Thanks Celtic. Chryst has done a good job stabilizing the Badgers program after Andersen came in and tried to destroy the foundation of what made it successful.

Yes thankfully Andersen quit and headed back to the West Coast. If given a few more years he could have really done some damage.

Wow Dan Voltz has called it a career.

Poly guard Micah Kapoi or Jon Dietzen will battle to take his spot.

That's a shame, would've been a 2nd-4th rounder in the draft too

Yeah he was projected as top 100 pick.. Really stinks Badgers most experienced OL at this point too. Wish him the best in life after football.

Ryan Connelly starting at one of the MLB positions this week against Akron, giving them four there, and an official "Snow Patrol".

Wisconsin D really played well in their win over LSU. They held a top 5 LSU to only 2 3rd down conversions; only gave up one score and a total of roughly 25o yards. They looked good. Nice win for the Big Ten, and a fair-minded program..

Bart Houston was a really pleasant surprise when watching the game. He looked very poised and confident - he
made a few mistakes but overall I really liked how he handled himself. Looking forward to seeing how the rest of the year plays out for him.

The Wisconsin defense was the best I saw in all the games I watched this weekend. I am sure they would not of given up all the points that the Afro laden defenses like fsu and notre dame gave up if playing the same opponents.

 

[celticdb15]

Wisconsin started the year unranked which is absolute BS, but with that big win over LSU the Badgers have vaulted all the way up to number ten ranking!

Ramczyk will miss time with surgery after the Badgers bowl game. I am kind of hoping he declares. Would love to see Watt declare as well if Wisconsin recruits the black quarterback Zaire too.

Agreed! Ramczyk has been awesome as a first year starter at LT, facing elite competition. TJ has better stats at this point in his college career than his All Pro big brother! I'd like to see them both go pro because at this point Vince Biegel is only other draftable prospect UW has. Personally I think Musso has next level talent but the scouts and those in charge of post season all star games have shunned him so far.
