Wait a minute ... "Wisconsin jumped in RS2 and passed most of us." ... and signed the recruit.
After not starting on him until recruiting period 2.
That can't be. Thousands of forum posts have told us that can't be so. Are you disputing thousands of whines with an actual example? Whiners are always right -- just ask 'em.
No unless TJ talked to the Wisconsin's coach, you can't tell if a school has completely opened up all recruiting actions and is not even listed on the considering list and just looks like they started from scratch.
For my UCLA squad, I've been on a recruit during RS1 and have poured enough AP into him (but nothing else, not even a schollie offer) in RS1 that at the start of RS2, I can completely dump everything in. I do NOT appear on his considering list at this point so unless someone asks me, this is completely different than me having to start from 0 AP due to having an EE.
My guess is that Wisconsin did the exact same thing and was putting just AP in S1 (he had 3 openings and was recruiting 3.. maybe more since he might of expected EEs) and signed 1 in RS1, and had two which were late signers. He was then lucky enough to get ZERO EEs (lucky him) and once him primary late target signed (freeing up his remaining funds) he then was able to immediately dump his reserves into the said recruit (who he had been putting AP from sometime already in RS1).
