The class of 2024 recruiting cycle reached its official end last week with national signing day.
While the day doesn’t carry the weight it used to, it still gives a clear end to one class, while accelerating the next. The early signing period in mid-December is the time to pay attention these days, but NSD still must be acknowledged as a notable day on the college football calendar.
The 2024 class was Luke Fickell’s first full group as head coach at Wisconsin. It was a successful cycle — the Badgers finished with the No. 23 recruiting class, the No. 7 in the new Big Ten and a Blue Chip Ratio of 50%.

A necessary note: it is very early in the class and metrics like ‘Average Player Rating’ mean much more than the ranking of the entire class.
