In the world of college football recruiting, success tends to breed more success. It's no coincidence the likes of Alabama and Ohio State routinely compete for national titles, then turn around and rank among the best recruiting classes in the country on national signing day less than a month later. Great players want to play for great programs, win games and gain exposure. The cycle repeats.
Given that pattern, one might assume Wisconsin's first top-10 finish in the Associated Press poll in six years would provide the Badgers with the type of recruiting boost other programs often experience.
