Isnt Beau Benzschawel an all big 10 type player now? Or is that a different player we lost to them?

I don't think it is fair to cite Beau Benzschawel as an example period, let alone a prime example. Benzschawel was a Wisconsin legacy recruit. The second Wisconsin beckoned, he was going. Had he bailed on Syracuse for Michigan State or whoever else, he'd be a good example (and he very may well have, I don't know). But as it played out, he committed to Syracuse without a Wisconsin offer and flipped almost immediately after he got the offer. His father and uncle played football at UW. His grandfather was president of the alumni foundation. He grew up in Wisconsin.
Much like how everyone knew Scott Frost was going to Nebraska the second Nebraska beckoned, Syracuse had to know that Benzschawel was going to flip to Wisconsin the second Wisconsin offered.
That's my point. We've always been able to land the tier two guys without the big offers with our current connections. That's why I don't think we need to have a dedicated midwest recruiter.
We have? From Ohio? In terms of players who produced there was Delone Carter (Akron area) and Anthony Smith (YTown area) but that was a decade ago. I might be forgetting others.

Umm, for a lot of reasons? USF fans might not know what they are talking about, saying USF were unhappy with him may only cover 20% of the fans, he might have been handcuffed in how he wanted to call the offense, there might have been other mitigating factors that led to how his offense was perceived.
DB isn’t going to let anyone come in and just destroy the offense.
USF fans not happy with Gilbert’s Play calling?? ! Many of the fans must not understand much about football and USF football. In 2016 they were 11-2 a huge step down in 2017. (sarcasm intended).
Gilbert was DB’s OC and QB coach in 2014 at Bowling Green. Why he’d want to come here is very questionable IMHO.

Zero clue why you replied to me with your comment. I’m not the one who said USF fans weren’t happy with him.
The AFCA convention is January 7-10. Might hear something then about new hires.
look I'm 100% happy where I'm at right now, love the team and the staff but if you got an opening, I'll listen, here's my card, stay in touch.
Guess I was distracted and clicked the wrong person. Relax man.![]()
