UW target George Hill picks Pitt

24

There was an upset in the race to land the commitment of Hubbard, Ohio, running back George Hill, but ultimately it didn't land in the Wisconsin Badgers' favor as Hill announced his commitment to the Pittsburgh Panthers on Friday.

For the Badgers, they do still have Katy, Texas, prospect Kyle Porter and McKeesport, Pa., back Khaleke Hudson set to visit on the weekend of Jan. 29. But considering the Badgers are looking for two running backs for the class of 2016, it stands to reason the Badgers make a new offer or two at the position with Kentrail Moran or Khalil Herbert likely next up to receive offers.
