Wisconsin head coach Luke Fickell is making it known that the Badgers are building a recruiting pipeline in Chicago
Luke Fickell and the Wisconsin Badgers are off to a good start on the recruiting trail in his short time as head coach of the football program.
Not only did Fickell manage to land some big names out of the transfer portal but he was able to get some recruits in right away. The staff at Wisconsin is trending in the right direction and establishing pipelines throughout the country.
And they are making it known in rival territories.
The program put up billboards in Chicago noting that there is a ‘Badger Pipeline’ taking a shot at Illinois and Northwestern as Wisconsin is doing well in the Windy City.
Luke Fickell is not messing around. These billboards are up in the Chicago area today. 👀

Offensive coordinator Phil Longo also noted that the Badgers were on the road and apparently heading to the Windy City to do some recruiting:

Building that pipeline in the Chicago area is huge for the Badgers. Not only is there a ton of talent in the city and suburbs but winning recruiting wars against Illinois and Northwestern make it that much sweeter.
Now someone point Luke Fickell and the staff in the direction of a good Chicago dog.
