Curious as to how many members of Bielema's Wisconsin staff followed him to Arky?

I read somewhere that he and the other Badger coaches had commited to stay and coach the Rose Bowl. Wes, do you know if that is true? I know the quiet period is upon us but not having him here before Jan would not be good, or not?

Really bummed he left. Loved how he worked with our receivers. To touch on your post of the recruits. He didn't have anything to do with any of the kids you mentioned. He recruited the Ohio area.

TOS had him as lead recruiter for UW commits WR Rob Wheelwright and ATH Marcus Ball. Both 3 stars (5.7) recruited but not offered by UT, but pretty strong offer lists from some of the Big 10 schools. Both from Ohio, as are all of his targets except for two.

I vaguely recall the GoVols staff posting a story about Ball at some point during the season. TN might not have offered Ball but we definitely recruited him.

Here it is:

Three-star Ohio athlete Marcus Ball visits Tennessee Vols

A three-star athlete from Westerville, Ohio, who claims more than 20 scholarship offers visited Tennessee for the first time earlier this month and came away impressed.

...and so would I. First thing I thought Of. Hope there is a good explanation.

He may not like BB's coaching style or something. Quite frankly, if I were in his shoes and had option between UT and Ark, I'd go UT any day!

I would think the OC would have some major input with this position... maybe Chaney didn't know him.

He wasn't offered a spot on BB'S new staff at Arkansas.

Probably next best hire if couldn't have Tee.

Frankly I am NOT upset that Martin turned us down. Mama's happy in LA with her so called "singing career". It was once said: "If Mama ain't happy, nobody's happy". Tee may just realize he made a mistake, after this year. He is being loyal to his receivers and that's good to know. But I think "AZZ" is just as good or better than Martin for what we need at this time.

My son is a four star recruit and top 15 at his position nationally who has a relationship with both cbj and cza. Now that he has heard from them recently we will likely be making a visit down there from Ohio in the next couple months. Dont discount their abilities, the kids are going to love playing for these guys.
