Seth Gross

Didn't see Seth coming to the Badgers. Great catch for the Badgers. Definitely a strength.

I had high hopes; but sure didn't see it coming. Happy happy!

The Badgers' lineup will have three former All-Americans in it next year. As far back as my database goes (early-to-mid 90s), that's only happened one other time: 2011, when the Badgers finished 10th:

--Tyler Graff, off a 5th-place finish, took 5th
--Andrew Howe, off a 1st-place finish, took 3rd
--Trevor Brandvold, off a 6th-place finish, took 5th

Go time. Missing out on the Top Ten this year is officially disappointing.

The following document was every Badger All-American by year.

We did have 5 in two different years, but I do think 3 was the most returning All-Americans (In 1980, Rein and Evans graduated; in 1984 Schmitz and Limmex graduated)

The 4 AA from 1979 were also AA in 1980, so we had 4 returning AA in 1980.

We had a good team! True Freshman Mark Zimmer AA'd in 1980 too--wish we could have kept Tommy Husted.

South Dakota is gaining another pretty good Gross.
