Badgers catch receiver recruit
Posted: Wednesday July 23, 2008 06:00AM ET
It appears that the University of Wisconsin football team has added another piece to its 2009 recruiting class. Jeff Duckworth, a receiver from Princeton High School in Cincinnati, committed to the Badgers, according to a blog post on the Cincinnati Enquirer's website. Duckworth, who was listed as 6 feet and 186 pounds last season, reportedly chose UW over Indiana. He caught 62 passes for 900 yards as a junior, an average of 14.5 yards per catch and 90 yards per game.

"...according to a blog post on the Cincinnati Enquirer's website."
Sounds credible to me.

Report Offensive CommentWon't make a difference anyway. With Mich, Ohio St., and Penn St. on the schedule, 9-3 again this year looks about it. But hey, the Badgers just look to get to the bowl season anyway, with hopes to pay off the seasons debts with the bowl money.

wisconsin is always good for that and if they have the illini on the schedule, 8-4 is a true possibility.

Report Offensive CommentOoooo. Michigan, Ohio St. and Penn St.! We're trembling! Ohio St will be the toughest, but Bucky always plays them well and we have them in Madison. Illinois is better than the other two also and they also have to come to Madison. Lets just say I like our chances. Go Bucky!

Report Offensive CommentWisco is always there to beat someone with their guard down. UM will struggle to be in the game this year. OSU will surely have their hands full up there at night.

Report Offensive CommentAsk the Buckeyes + Nittany Lions what happened the last time they came to play in Camp Randall under the lights around 7pm Central. And Michigan? This year? Really?

Report Offensive CommentWhen I saw Princeton, I thought this kid was from New Jersey. The Badgers always pull kids from Jersey. Ever since Ron Dayne.

Report Offensive CommentYeah, I've learned you can't predict anything with OSU and Wisconsin; it's going to be a good game for sure.
