Buzz SIGNED the top prospect in the state in each of his first two years. He won't "ignore" anyone who he thinks can play.

Agreed (as stated), hope that continues.  Where it gets interesting is what happens if the state has a run 3 or 4 years in a row where the top kid is good, good enough to play at MU but not get a ton of time.  Many top programs in the past, especially state schools, have still gone after those kids.  It's as much a PR game with high school coaches, fans, AAU coaches, etc as anything else.  Will we do this?  I don't know....Buzz will have to make that call.

You're walking a tightrope with those kind of kids. If you don't recruit them it can have negative repercussions. If you recruit them and they're not good enough to play much and therefore become unhappy things can get even more negative.

I agree, that's what makes it tricky.  On the flip side, you walk a tight rope with some of the coaches who think their kids should be recruited by the university and they take it as a slap against them if you don't.  Communication and relationships are key to be able to get through those players that are right on the cusp and could go either way.

Pet Peeve, but really Northwestern Wisconsin.  La Crosse, is like the equivalent of Sheboygan/Fond Du Lac, while it is north, it is way more south than even the northern half of the state.  I know everyone says anything north of Milwaukee is Northern WI.  Rant over.

This is true. For the longest time I assumed La Crosse was north of the Twin Cities along the Miss. River until I looked it up. I assume people think Appleton (where I grew up) is near Monocqua (sp).
