For the record, I'm still not sold on him. I wouldn't mind taking him however just because it would mean Bielema locked down the state if we got Gragg as well. That would be pretty impressive since we are coming off a 3-9 year. I don't think we've ever gone 100% on offers/commits instate during the Rivals era.

According to Rivals, we locked down the top-10 in 2008. Ironically, Bielema lured the 11th best player (TE Jake Byrne) to Wisconsin.

I'm pretty sure we've done it other years in the Rivals era, but I didn't look.
