The Wisconsin Badgers have added eleven new transfers already, in three days. Yet, the work is still not done. They not only need a good 15 more, but they need many of them to be ready to contribute and start right away. Luke Fickell still has a few positions he needs to improve at: wide receiver, offensive line, defensive line, and even cornerback (though they've added two).
Here are three names that Wisconsin should go after and try to land for next season. Players that could immediately upgrade the roster and their position groups:
1. PJ Wilkins - OT - Ole Miss
The Wisconsin Badgers still need offensive line help, and Eric Mateos is an offensive line whisperer. PJ Wilkins would be a huge addition, literally and in terms of along the line. He's 6'5 and 340 pounds, and he played along the offensive line for a playoff team this season in Ole Miss. He was a transfer from Charlotte to Ole Miss last offseason. He would have a couple of seasons left to play.
It doesn't have to be Wilkins for Wisconsin; feel free to grab another couple of big boys on the offensive line. But Wisconsin needs more top-tier lineman to help protect their new quarterback and clear the way for the running back.
2. Tre Brown - WR - Old Dominion

Brown is getting some huge offers from big programs like LSU and Ohio State. However, Wisconsin is fully in the mix, and his friend and former quarterback Colton Joseph may play a role in getting him to be a Badger.
Regardless, Wisconsin needs at least one more starting wide receiver, a playmaker that can come in and immediately be a go-to target for Joseph.
3. Junior Poyser - DL - Buffalo
Poyser is a bit under the radar, but he fits the Luke Fickell desire for a defensive lineman. He's 6'2 and 310 pounds. He clogs up the lane and was very productive for his position at Buffalo. Poyser had 14 tackles, 5.5 sacks, and one forced fumble.
