I liked what I saw out of Stave in the spring practice too. He seemed to have a nice pocket presence to go with a good arm.

The possible passing leader of the leader of the Leaders division with OSU out of it.

Is there any way we get him over Auburn?

Probably not if they are offering him the Cam Newton compensation package.

Wisky is in a much better position than Auburn.

Auburn is rebuilding in a lot of positions, while Wisky is reloading a few positions. QB is Wisky's only hole--- hello Wilson.

Also, Auburn has some brutal competition next year... The very best they can do is 3rd in the SEC----that's SEC West, actually. They have almost no shot at Bama & LSU next year.

With Wilson, the sky is the limit for Wisky.... nice!

I agree that from a competitive standpoint Wisconsin has to be one of his best options. Sure we have to replace 2 offensive lineman who just went to the NFL but Wisconsin does that every other year or so and never misses a beat, our team overall is damn solid and with Ohio St. being a mess this is a great situation, obviously I'm biased as a fan but would definitely have the potential for a special season if he came here.

SEC is very strong this year. If Wilson wants to play in a BCS game, Wisconsin is the better choice.

Can someone more "in the know" than I am give a quick scouting report on this kid?

Allanon23 · Post #51 » by **Allanon23** » Tue Jun 7, 2011 7:11 pm

I haven't watched many of his games, but from what I saw I can guarantee he would be the best QB on the Badgers. Despite some accuracy problems in his freshman year, he had 17 passing TDs and only 1 INT...insane. His numbers are VERY impressive. Can you imagine a Wisconsin QB averaging 3 TDs per game over the course of a season? Wow. My only concerns are his height (sick of seeing batted balls at the line of scrimmage. 2 pt conversion attempt in the Rose Bowl for instance.), and that he hasn't been very clutch late in games.

Basically, he was all of NC States offense. I would love to see what he can do on a team loaded with talent on the offense.

Pryor done at OSU according to reports.

We get Wilson and we could be a real threat for a B10 championship.

We would have been a real threat even if he was able to play all 12 games.

Not necessarily. Adding Wilson and subtracting Pryor makes a big difference.

Lots of rumors floating on Badger Nation. Said he came in and they were replaying the win over OSU last year. Red carpet treatment.

This would be a nice get. In college football you are always playing for this season.

No idea on the legitimacy of the guy tweeting this, so take with grain of salt:

Bret Bielema skips UW alumni meeting to work out details of Russell Wilson committing to Wisconsin. Where is ESPN? # Bielema # Wilson # ESPN

Again, no idea who this clown is:

dhookstead David Hookstead
Word is ESPN will be announcing later tonight or early tomorrow Russell Wilson will be playing for Wisconsin. # Russell # Wilson # Wisconsin

Rumors are swirling on twitter about this not just from that guy. Would be a huge land for next year.

I decided to start holding my breath. We'll see how this goes...

That would be a huge get. In a matter of days one contender in the Leader's division loses their all conference QB and another contender gains an all conference QB. Crazy.
