Opens the door for a different RB to run all over us
I shouldn't find that funny.....but I do.
RB U.
I think they're going to have a gap here.
They don't have another guy to plug and play who's at the same level. They'll still be fundamentally sound, but you're not going to see another Taylor or Gordon or Ball on the roster. They'll take a step back. Finally.

Yep I can hear the auctioneer now I ve got 420 yards and counting do I hear 500...give me 500
You are right pal a gap right up the gut of the blackshirt defense
How did you enjoy the last three years pal going to the mirage bowls?
Had a great time, Homeslice.
Went to the Bahamas one year, the mountains the next.
Still a fan though. That's what it's all about.
At least you took it as a joke like I intended itI shouldn't find that funny.....but I do.
Happy to see him gone. It will be hard for them to find a guy to match him. He was a super human. Eventually every team hits a lull.
Wisconsin Badgers get commitment from 4-star RB Jalen Berger
With the addition of running back Jalen Berger, UW's 2020 recruiting class is currently ranked as its best in program history.
The University of Wisconsin football team filled arguably the only hole in its 2020 recruiting class on Saturday.
Jalen Berger — a four-star running back recruit according to 247sports, ESPN and Rivals — announced his oral commitment to the Badgers at the Army All-American Bowl in San Antonio, Texas. Berger wasn’t able to play in the game due to a knee injury, but he is an important recruit for UW.
He is the fifth four-star recruit the Badgers will bring in with the 2020 class.
With Berger’s commitment, UW’s 2020 class ranks 24th in the country per 247sports and 26th on Rivals. Should those rankings stand, the 2020 class will be the best in program history in the recruiting rankings era.
------------------------------
Nakia Watson is likely going into next season as the starter. He was a redshirt freshman this past season. As with the recent commit (Berger), both are 4-star RB's. I doubt Wisconsin has ever had two 4-star running backs on their roster. They may be young and inexperienced, but there's definitely talent to be found.
