Luke Fickell has lined up another crucial official visit weekend, and he's surfing a wave of recruiting momentum. The Badgers have already landed four players from last weekend's officials, and he's hoping to carry that excitement into this weekend. For Fickell, he can label this weekend as "It's as easy as 1, 2, 3."

There are six known recruits coming to campus this weekend, and you can bring them up into three categories or story lines. There's one player who's close to committing, two who could flip, and three who are uncommitted and here for a regular visit.

Securing 1 player who's been crystal balled to Wisconsin

3-star wide receiver Steele Harris is a player Wisconsin fans need to be aware of. He's probably the next closest recruit to commit to the Badgers. He's already received two 24/7 Sports Crystal Balls to pick Wisconsin. Luke Fickell has a real chance to secure him during the visit.

He's a talented player from Montana. In fact, he's the top player in the state and a player who is often overlooked because of the state he plays football in, but he is dripping with athleticism and plays all over the field for his high school.

Working on 2 flips

Luke Fickell also has two players who are already committed elsewhere. There's hope that both Chuck Alexander, a 4-star Wide Receiver who is committed to Louisville, and Brody Pfannenstiel, a 4-star edge who's pledged to Texas Tech, will both flip to Wisconsin. Pfannenstiel has a quote that makes it seem very likely that he's either going to flip or double down on his commitment to Texas Tech.

Alexander, on the other hand, has had mixed reporting on his visit to Wisconsin. 24/7's Nick Osen has him still coming, while 24/7's Michael McCammon says Alexander won't be and will only visit Louisville. So stay tuned to this one.

The other 3 uncommitted players

There are also three other players who have yet to commit anywhere and are heavily weighing their options. There's 4-star offensive tackle Alijah Shaw, 3-star safety James Roberson, and 3-star edge Yahzeen Zion. All would be big pickups for this recruiting class, and they are all heavily considering Wisconsin.
