Football Team Takes A Few Days Off, But Chryst Is On The Job

The Wisconsin Badgers football team isn’t practicing today (Monday), Tuesday or Wednesday, but that doesn’t mean the coaching staff is taking it easy. Coach Paul Chryst and his assistants are recruiting during the build-up to bowl season.  This year, prospects can commit in December, rather than waiting until February under the new N-C-A-A rules.  The window for prospects to sign on the dotted line is December 20th through the 22nd.  If they decide to wait, February 7th is National Signing Day.  Chryst is working now because F-B-S coaches aren’t allowed to recruit between December 18th and January 11th.  The Badgers’ recruiting class includes 19 commitments, so far.
