The Badgers are targeting the 2022 Florida corner
The offers have been pouring in for Florida native James Monds III since the September 1 threshold. The 2022 CB has seen offers fly in recently as schools can now initiate contact with rising high school juniors. Among those offers are of course the Badgers, conference foe Michigan State, Kansas State, Miami, Mississippi State, and most recently Michigan.
Monds III has seen a meteoric rise in his recruiting over the past year, but of all the places that have been in contact with the Fort Pierce star, he told BadgersWire that the fan base at Wisconsin has stood out so far. “Since the offer, the fans have been in my messages on Twitter showing me hospitality and selling me on Wisconsin,” the four-star corner told BadgersWire on Friday morning.
The offer that came just a couple of days ago was not the first Monds III had heard about Wisconsin football. His cousin, DB Jameson Wright, was with the program in 2010 and 2011 before transferring to Bethune-Cookman.
It has not only been the fans who have been going after the talented Florida native, but also Wisconsin commits. S Braelon Allen, the first Badger commit in the class of 2022, immediately reached out to Monds III after the offer to give him his number and add him on Snapchat. The two have stayed in contact over the past couple of days, with Allen even adding Monds III to a group chat with 2021 commits that were selling him on the Wisconsin experience.
“2022 commit Braleon Allen texted me and added me to this group chat with other Badgers. They were a mostly 2021 commits, along with Braelon [Allen]. They were telling me what it is like to be a Badger.”
On Twitter, Allen has made his recruiting of Monds public, as have other Badger commits including 2021 WR Skyler Bell.
So, after all the love shown by the Badger community, how is Monds III feeling at the moment?
“I’m feeling great about Wisconsin. I am just ready to take a visit to Madison.”
Hopefully the Badgers are able to get Monds III on campus as soon as safety permits, as the Florida corner is ready to see what the Madison experience is all about.
