Who says Paul Chryst and Jim Leonhard can’t recruit?
Jon McNamara of Rivals.com tweeted yesterday that Chryst and the Badgers are the lead dogs to land 4-star 2021 cornerback Ricardo Hallman.
#Badgers currently lead for four-star Florida CB Ricardo Hallman
"Coach (Jim) Leonhard has a big impact with me. He was amazing in college at #Wisconsin and then he had a long career in the NFL. That's the type of guy who I want to be coached by."https://t.co/vT5GDeZnXh

Hallman is ranked by Rivals as the 25th-best cornerback recruit in the nation and the 46th-best overall recruit from the state of Florida.
The University High School standout also has offers from the likes of Baylor, Ohio State, Florida State, Michigan, Penn State and Miami.
Landing the cornerback would be big news for Chryst and his program as they currently have the 6th-ranked 2021 recruiting class in the nation and the 2nd-ranked in the Big Ten behind only Ohio State.
Hallman would join big names in the Badgers’ 2021 class including cornerback Hunter Wohler, offensive lineman J.P. Benzschawel, running back Antwan Roberts and linebacker Ayo Adebogun.
