2002 Badger Football Recruiting Targets

(Compiled by Merced Badger)

Also remember that I am not a recruiting guru, nor is MercedBadger and that our focus is on UW recruiting. So, when a player drops the UW, he probably isn't going to be followed very closely, so data like "other schools offered" will periodically be incomplete.
