During his 16 seasons as Wisconsin?s head football coach, Barry Alvarez made recruiting the East Coast a priority.
UW landed many outstanding players from that region, including tailbacks Ron Dayne and Anthony Davis from talent-rich New Jersey and P.J. Hill from New York.
After straying from that area early on at UW, Bret Bielema has reasserted the Badgers? recruiting efforts in that region of the country.
