He had trimmed his list to UW, Colorado, Cincinnati, West Virginia and Howard.<\/p>\n<p class=\"gnt_ar_b_p\">Kekahuna announced after Fickell talked about the class and his decision was surprising.  He had committed to the previous staff, de-committed after Paul Chryst was fired, committed to Arizona on Saturday and then ultimately chose UW on Wednesday.<\/p>\n<p class=\"gnt_ar_b_p\">Curiously, Fickell was asked about the potential of adding players at key positions before Kekahuna&#8217;s signing was announced.<\/p>\n<aside aria-label=\"advertisement\" class=\"gnt_m gnt_x gnt_x__lbl gnt_x__al\"\/>\n<p class=\"gnt_ar_b_p\">His response: &#8220;Possibility with wide receiver that, whether it is finishing some things out either today or into January, there&#8217;s some things that we&#8217;ve been on that hopefully we can close the deal on here soon.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p class=\"gnt_ar_b_p\">Consider the deal closed.<\/p>\n<p class=\"gnt_ar_b_p\">Snowden, Ohio safety Braedyn Moore and cornerback Jonas Duclona initially committed to Cincinnati but de-committed after Fickell took the UW job.<\/p>\n<aside aria-label=\"advertisement\" class=\"gnt_m gnt_x gnt_x__lbl gnt_x__al\"\/>\n<p class=\"gnt_ar_b_p\">&#8220;Those are guys we&#8217;ve known for a couple years,&#8221; Fickell said.  &#8220;I&#8217;m not saying we went after every guy we had a relationship with, or we had known in our time at Cincinnati. There were others that went some other places.<\/p>\n<p class=\"gnt_ar_b_p\">&#8220;Those are the ones we knew the best, we knew darn well and truly believed that they don&#8217;t just fit here as a player, but they fit the culture and all the things that are going to be expected of them.&#8221;<\/p>\n<aside class=\"gnt_em gnt_em_anc\" id=\"gnt_atomsnc\" data-g-r=\"lazy\" data-gl-method=\"loadAnc\" aria-label=\"Newsletter signup form\"\/>\n<p class=\"gnt_ar_b_p\">Snowden&#8217;s decision to choose UW was interesting because he initially planned to play football and baseball at Cincinnati.  UW, of course, does not field a varsity baseball team.<\/p>\n<p class=\"gnt_ar_b_p\">&#8220;We had to really find out where his heart was,&#8221; Fickell said.  &#8220;We never had any doubt (about) how good of a player he is and where he fits best.<\/p>\n<aside class=\"gnt_em gnt_em_fo__bet-best\" aria-label=\"Scores and odds from Tipico\" data-g-r=\"lazy\" data-gl-type=\"comment\"><!--@pre<iframe class=gnt_em_fo_if src=\"\/tangfrag\/sports\/gaming\/bet-best?prm-embedded&prm-teamid=2219&prm-gnteamid=111&prm-league=NCAAF#fhp-assetid=69746722007\" loading=lazy sandbox=\"allow-scripts allow-popups allow-popups-to-escape-sandbox allow-forms\" title=\"Scores and odds from Tipico\"><\/iframe>--><\/aside>\n<p class=\"gnt_ar_b_p\">&#8220;But it was going to come down to: &#8216;Are you willing to give up baseball and hone you skills is into one (sport)?'&#8221;<\/p>\n<p class=\"gnt_ar_b_p\">Snowden was.<\/p>\n<p class=\"gnt_ar_b_p\">Nine members of the class project to play on defense.<\/p>\n<p class=\"gnt_ar_b_p\">Six of those players are projected to play in the secondary.<\/p>\n<p class=\"gnt_ar_b_p\">They are:<\/p>\n<p class=\"gnt_ar_b_p\">Justin Taylor of Illinois, Jace Arnold of Georgia, AJ Tisdell of Texas, Snowden, Moore and Duclona.<\/p>\n<p class=\"gnt_ar_b_p\">Fickell reiterated that he and his coaches will continue recruiting through the traditional signing day, Feb.  one.<\/p>\n<p class=\"gnt_ar_b_p\">Two areas of concern are the offensive and defensive lines.<\/p>\n<p class=\"gnt_ar_b_p\">UW signed just one offensive lineman Wednesday, James Durand of Arizona.  The Badgers didn&#8217;t sign any defensive linemen, though the staff continues to recruit tackle Jamel Howard of Chicago.<\/p>\n<p class=\"gnt_ar_b_p\">&#8220;I think there are going to be some options and some opportunities in January,&#8221; he said.  &#8220;Defensive line will definitely be a focus.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p class=\"gnt_ar_b_p\">UW could enter the spring and next season down one tailback.<\/p>\n<p class=\"gnt_ar_b_p\">The Badgers lost tailback Isaac Guerendo to the transfer portal and signed only one tailback Wednesday, Nate White of Milwaukee King.  Ohio tailback Jaquez Keyes initially committed to UW but changed his mind and is headed to Wake Forest.<\/p>\n<aside aria-label=\"advertisement\" class=\"gnt_m gnt_x gnt_x__lbl gnt_x__al\"\/>\n<p class=\"gnt_ar_b_p\">UW has three scholarship tailbacks on the roster &#8212; Braelon Allen, Chez Mellusi and Julius Davis.  Allen and Mellusi could turn pro after next season.<\/p>\n<p class=\"gnt_ar_b_p\">&#8220;That is a position of strength here (traditionally),&#8221; he said, adding he is open to adding a high-school tailback before next season.  &#8220;It is not a position, in my opinion, that you want to go out there and find a transfer.<\/p>\n<p class=\"gnt_ar_b_p\">&#8220;I think we&#8217;ll be down one (body) in our vision in what we want heading into the fall. I think you have a chance to lose the top two guys after this season. That is what I would expect, because we always expect to have great years.<\/p>\n<p class=\"gnt_ar_b_p\">&#8220;That is another one of those positions that could turn over pretty quick, so you&#8217;ve always got to have some depth there and some confidence in those young guys.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p class=\"gnt_ar_b_p\"><strong class=\"gnt_ar_b_al\">More:<\/strong>Former Wisconsin quarterback Graham Mertz reportedly transferring to Florida<\/p>\n<p class=\"gnt_ar_b_p\"><strong class=\"gnt_ar_b_al\">More:<\/strong>Wisconsin athletic director Chris McIntosh discusses his thought process in hiring a football coach<\/p>\n<p class=\"gnt_ar_b_p\"><strong class=\"gnt_ar_b_al\">More:<\/strong>Wisconsin Badgers land Oklahoma quarterback in transfer portal who will have four years of eligibility left<\/p>\n<p class=\"gnt_ar_b_p\"><strong class=\"gnt_ar_b_al\">More:<\/strong>A look at the 12 players so far in Luke Fickell&#8217;s first recruiting class for the Wisconsin Badgers football team<\/p>\n<p class=\"gnt_ar_b_p\">UW continues to recruit defensive tackle Jamel Howard of Illinois.  Howard initially committed to UW but de-committed after the coaching change.<\/p>\n<p class=\"gnt_ar_b_p\">The Badgers signed just one quarterback \u2013 Cole LaCrue of Colorado, who is set to enroll in January.  Oklahoma freshman Nick Evers plans to transfer and he is also set to enroll in January.<\/p>\n<aside class=\"gnt_em gnt_em_hf gnt_em__lp\" data-g-r=\"lazy\" data-gl-type=\"method\" data-gl-method=\"loadHb64\" aria-label=\"JS main subscriber embed\" data-t-cel=\"hb64\" data-gl-hb64=\"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\"\/><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>MADISON \u2013 Wisconsin entered Wednesday with 12 known commitments for the 2023 class, eight from previous staff and four since Luke Fickell was named head football coach.
