I mean...it was pretty obvious. He committed to UW a couple days prior to Signing Day during their in-home visit with him and his family. Then on Signing Day dear old dad was all up in his ear and consoling him and pushing him to do what's best for the family. I certainly hope he got a bag for his family and is now gonna rip that Tennessee booster off and join the good guys.

I told y'all be backed off of Herbig. Now we know why

Seriously tho this would be major, not only because he's an elite talent but also because it would signal a new era in which bag men can no longer win. Kids can obey their parents and sign with a certain school to "do what's best for their family" and then as soon as the cash is delivered or check clears hop in the portal and go to the school they actually wanted to go to. The portal is balancing the power between cheaters and non-cheaters in recruiting. Come on home and play for the good guys Henry!

If we backed off Herbig, how do you explain us offering Breuner right after Herbig committed to Wisconsin? I'm excited to hear your Ballz spin on this.

Not to To'oto'o our own horn, but adding Henry would put us 5th for average recruit for 2019 using only 247 player ratings and 7th overall using only 247 (a little harder to decipher the overall because I'm not sure it if impacts the class calculator differently than the 8.24 gain we get from Henry with composite). We were previously 11th overall.

That includes a jump of Oregon, Tennessee, Oklahoma, and Michigan overall.
