http://www.yardbarker.com/colleges/wisconsin_badgers/51 Recent articles about Wisconsin Badgers en-us There are great stories all over the Big Ten, it's part of what makes this conference so intriguing no matter the product that's put on the field. In fact, it's spawned one of the best documentary-style series' out there in "The Journey." As we give you a double dose of our Top 25 list today our No. 13 player may be one of the best stories out there, along with the story of the first player out today, Kain Colter at No. 14. Wisconsin, along with Nebraska and Iowa, may have the strongest and best known walk-on programs in the country and names like Jim Leonhard from the UW show you just how good things can get, so can our No. 13 player.  However, a player at a position like wide receiver coming from walk-on to star is highly unlikely. Even more unlikely? Walking on as a quarterback and becoming one of the all-time greats at your school and a leader nationally at said position, yet that's exactly what our No. 13 player has done.  No. 13: Jared Abbrederis (WR Wed, 22 May 2013 20:48:48 -0400 http://network.yardbarker.com/college_football/article_external/2013_preseason_top_25_players_no_13_jared_abbrederis/13675115 http://network.yardbarker.com/college_football/article_external/2013_preseason_top_25_players_no_13_jared_abbrederis/13675115 2013 Preseason Top 25 Players: No. 13, Jared Abbrederis http://www.yardbarker.com/college_football/articles/2013_preseason_top_25_players_no_13_jared_abbrederis/13675115 http://www.yardbarker.com/media/7/1/71fd3850166425b23ec4b0f0c1bd47eafa9f19a0/mini/5859310.jpg Wisconsin Badgers coach Gary Andersen slipped on a Culver's apron, hit the grill, and hand-delivered butter burgers for charity.

While he could likely start in most backfields across the nation, he has played second fiddle for the majority of his college career. He may not have been the most heralded back in Wisconsin, but he has continued to be productive. He was dazzling as a freshman and now, at the dawn of his senior season, he has a chance to bring his career full-circle as the go-to guy in Madison.  No.15: James White (RB,Wisconsin) 2012 Stats/Honors: 125 rushes, 840 rushing yards, 12 rushing touchdowns. Eight receptions, 132 receiving yards, 1 receiving touchdown. What makes him worthy: There are few instances of guys as talented as White going unnoticed.

For being just 20 years old, he’s so calm and composed, you can’t help but think about where you were in life at 20….and then sheepishly quit punishing yourself. Some of that confidence undoubtedly comes from his famous genetics and being the son of NBA star player Jim Jackson, but the greater part of it comes from his faith and approach to life, off the court. What was your experience like playing in the NCAA Tournament? “Obviously, it didn’t end the way we wanted it to.  Just the fact of me playing in the tournament was great because it’s the attitude of “loser goes home” and unfortunately we had to go home. But it really puts into perspective what you need to do to prepare for it going forward. And learning from that this year helps us next year.” Is there added pressure based on who your dad is to succeed? What’...

You’ve had Kirk Penney, the former Wisconsin Badgers guard from Auckland, New Zealand; where he attended Westlake Boys High School. Penney didn’t even last two years in the league. Sean Marks is also from Auckland, New Zealand’s biggest metropolis. He’s from Rangitoto School in Auckland and played his college basketball at Cal. Marks was taken in the 1998 NBA Draft, Round 2 by the New York Knicks. He stuck around for awhile, but his numbers were rather meager. He hardly produced very much. Steven Adams is a 7 foot freshman who declared for the NBA Draft last month. He got invited to the NBA Draft combine, so there’s a good chance he’ll get drafted. Adams did his prep ball at Scots College (Wellington, New Zealand) In 2011, Adams played basketball for the Wellington Saints in the New Zealand NBL.He subsequently won the Rookie of the Year award.

Why was I thinking about that season? Well, because the 2013 version of the Badgers backfield has enough talent in it to wonder how they'll be used and 2010 could be the blueprint for that season. What's that... You don't remember that 2010 season? Well, then let me refresh your memory. That backfield featured junior John Clay, sophomore Montee Ball, and freshman James White - names that should sound familiar, right?  Even more important are the numbers behind that first of three Big Ten championship and Rose Bowl season as it could provide an exact blueprint to what 2013 may look like. In 2010 all three had 156 carries or more on the season with John Clay leading the way in carries with 187.  Additionally, here are the rushing totals for that season: James White -...

These profiles are put together after watching significant amounts of game tape from each player, and is an attempt to examine their resumes and play to get an idea of how they might fit in best with Dallas come training camp in Oxnard this summer. Travis Frederick Wisconsin Center 6'3, 312 40 time: 5.56, Bench Press: 21 Jan 1, 1991 (22) If only we could look at football players without attaching baggage to our evaluation. Perhaps the best example of this is Greg Ellis, who if only judged on his own merits would have been thought of as one of the very best Cowboys of the last 15 years. However, he spent most of his career carrying around the burden of being "the guy that we took instead of Randy Moss" around here. That stayed with him despite being an exceptional player his entire career. That leads us to Frederick who in some ways, is exactly the type of player you w Mon, 13 May 2013 11:12:20 -0400 http://network.yardbarker.com/college_football/article_external/draft_game_tape_breakdowns_travis_frederick_c_wisconsin/13605887 http://network.yardbarker.com/college_football/article_external/draft_game_tape_breakdowns_travis_frederick_c_wisconsin/13605887 Draft Game-Tape Breakdowns: Travis Frederick - C - Wisconsin http://www.yardbarker.com/college_football/articles/draft_game_tape_breakdowns_travis_frederick_c_wisconsin/13605887 http://www.yardbarker.com/media/4/8/4884516973cb224fa3e2fc5449604d1f40898ff5/mini/6799784.jpg Welcome into our post-spring look at where the Big Ten stands in terms of talent. We got things kicked off yesterday with a look at our No. 25 player, Christian Bryant of Ohio State. Today we move on to a name that may surprise a few people, not because of the position or school this man comes from, but because he was perhaps overshadowed a lot in the past 24 months or so.  Before we get there though, let us remind you of what criteria we used to make our Top 25 list. We used things like importance to your team, overall skill at your position, records set, past performance, conference honors (coaches, media, our list too), and the good old fashioned eye test. Without further ado... let us dive into one of the most versatile players in the Big Ten. No. 24: Ryan Groy (OL, Wisconsin) 2012 stats/honors: 2nd team All-Big Ten (coaches), honorable mention (media) What makes him worthy: Groy may be the single most versatile offensive lineman in the Big Ten, in fact we'd go as Fri, 10 May 2013 12:09:01 -0400 http://network.yardbarker.com/college_football/article_external/2013_preseason_top_25_players_no_24_ryan_groy/13590362 http://network.yardbarker.com/college_football/article_external/2013_preseason_top_25_players_no_24_ryan_groy/13590362 2013 Preseason Top 25 Players: No. 24, Ryan Groy http://www.yardbarker.com/college_football/articles/2013_preseason_top_25_players_no_24_ryan_groy/13590362 http://www.yardbarker.com/images/yb_logo_square_grey.png The Wisconsin Badgers unveiled a sparkling, state-of-the-art new weight room facility recently and now they want to show it off in this video tour.

He was the first player to top 7,000 yards rushing and finished with 7,125 career yards on the ground. That’s over four miles worth of turf that Ron Dayne chewed up in his tenure as the Wisconsin Badgers’ tailback from 1995 to 1999. He graduated at the NCAA’s all-time leading rusher. You’d think that would be enough to be a first-ballot selection for the College Football Hall of Fame, no? Apparently not. According to the National Football Foundation, a player becomes eligible for consideration “ten years after his final year of intercollegiate football played.” For Dayne, his final game as a member of the Badgers came Jan. 1, 2000, when Wisconsin beat Stanford 17-9 to win the Rose Bowl, a game in which Dayne was named MVP. By my calculation, that would have made Dayne eligible for entry into the College Football Hall of Fame at the beginning of ...

Wisconsin's men's basketball schedule for the 2013-14 season hasn't yet been finalized, but the Badgers' non-conference holiday tournament location should create some excitement among fans. UW officials announced Tuesday most of the field for the 2013 Cancun Challenge, to be played over the week of Thanksgiving. Wisconsin joins Old Dominion, Saint Louis and West Virginia in the Riviera Division. Bowling Green, Oral Roberts, Presbyterian and a team yet to be announced will make up the Mayan Division. Much like the Badgers did last season with the Las Vegas Invitational, they will host two games before the tournament moves to Mexico on Nov. 26 and Nov. 27. A possible matchup against Saint Louis could significantly boost Wisconsin's early-season RPI. The Billikens return four of their top six scorers off a team that finished 28-7 last season and won the Atlantic 10 championship. West Virginia and Old Dominion each went to the NCAA tournament two seasons ago.

The Badgers are in the midst of a coaching transition after Bret Bielema skipped town prior to the Rose Bowl in favor of a shot at turning around an Arkansas football program recovering from a motorcycle wreck of a season. In comes Gary Andersen, who demonstrated some solid potential by making Utah State a winning team, but the new coach loses a record-breaking running back and must figure out who the heck is going to lead the offense on the field. Still, Wisconsin figures to be a bit of a pest in the Big Ten Leaders Division and may be the biggest threat to Ohio State's potential run to Indianapolis for the Big Ten Championship Game. With spring football in the books in Madison, we welcome the opinions of Andy Coppens, managing editor of Madtown Badgers, and Richard Branch, co-founder of Buck Around, to get a sense of what is expected at Wis...

But you have to give some credit to athletic director Barry Alvarez as he tries to beef up the slate in the near future. The Badgers have a date with Alabama in 2015 at Cowboys Stadium in Dallas. A report in the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel says the Badgers are looking to add another SEC heavyweight to the schedule. Alvarez would like to add LSU to the schedule and play the game at Lambeau Field in Green Bay. Justin Doherty, UW associate athletic director for external relations, declined to say whether UW is pursuing such a game. "I don't have anything I can tell you," he said after the regularly scheduled athletic board meeting. "It has come up from time to time and it is something that we are pursuing," said Aaron Popkey, the Green Bay Packers' director of public affairs.

The competitor inside Melvin Gordon truly wanted to leave spring practices as Wisconsin's starting running back. The realist in Gordon understood that a sprained ankle, coupled with an excellent spring from teammate James White, meant attaining such a goal was unlikely. Still, Gordon couldn't help but feel as though he left his best performances somewhere in the locker room. "That's by nature to be a little disappointed with yourself when you don't do what you expect to do," Gordon said following Saturday's spring game. "I understand how the game goes. Injuries are the beast of the game, so it's fine. I can't blame that. James had a really good spring. He did his thing. This fall, I've got to come out and compete hard for that spot." Gordon did not perform badly by any means during the Badgers' spring game. He carried the ball 17 times for 74 yards with a touchdown good for 4.4 yards per carry.

Wisconsin's basketball players took their place on a podium one by one to signify the start of the Badgers' season-ending banquet Tuesday night in the Kohl Center. They nearly made it to their seats unscathed, too. While the seniors were being announced, forward Mike Bruesewitz briefly tripped on a step just before reaching the podium. "We don't want any injuries here," said Matt Lepay, the Badgers' long-time radio broadcaster and emcee for the evening. And perhaps that moment, which drew laughter from a small gathering of boosters, fans and family members, was a fitting capper on a season that featured so much adversity. Bruesewitz missed time early in the season after suffering a lacerated leg. He then sat out two games because of a concussion. Point guard Josh Gasser tore his ACL on Oct. 27 and missed the entire season, forcing teammates Traevon Jackson and George Marshall to undertake an even bigger role on the team.

The countdown to Wisconsin's first football game of the 2013 season stands at 133 days. And if Saturday's spring game was any indication, it might just take all 133 days before the Badgers finally choose a starting quarterback. OK, perhaps we're talking too much hyperbole. Maybe it will only require 123 days. "I wouldn't be surprised," Badgers quarterback Joel Stave said. "That's kind of how I've known it since I've been here. I don't mind the competition at all. It makes everyone better and it's good for the team." As it stands, Curt Phillips and Stave are locked in a tight battle to be the No. 1 signal caller. The two have essentially been 1A and 1B on the depth chart, with Phillips slightly edging Stave throughout spring practices. On Saturday, Stave was the better quarterback, leading the only two touchdown drives of the game for Team White.
