The Numbers

Wisconsin's 2017 recruiting class ranks No. 19 in the 247sports team recruiting rankings and seventh in the Big Ten team recruiting rankings.

The Impact on Wisconsin

Wisconsin is getting a ball hawking cornerback who has 21 interceptions to his name in three seasons on the varsity level. Cone might only be 5-foot-9, but the junior makes up for it in other ways. Cone has a 37-inch vertical and a 6-foot-5 inch wing span.

Cone compliments some of the other cornerbacks on the roster very well, mainly Titus Booker, Deron Harrell, and Caesar Williams. Those three cornerbacks have things you can't teach, but it's mainly physical attributes. Cone has tremendous instincts for the football. One of the secondary's biggest problems in recent memory is that the defensive backs play the man and not the ball. Cone is the exact opposite and gets his head around, while maintaining good position.

Cone isn't a burner, but has enough speed. He's got some of the surest hands you'll see from a cornerback and even plays some wide receiver in high school.

The Impact on Recruiting

Wisconsin will take one, possibly two more cornerbacks in this class. The Badgers are at 10 of their 12 available spots for the 2017 recruiting class, which could expand to around 14-16 depending on attrition.

The coaching staff will turn most of its attention to three-star cornerback Randall Haynie (Fort Lauderdale, Fla.). Haynie has the Badgers in his top five, but word is Wisconsin is the team to beat as long as Michigan stays away, which it appears they will.

Also watch Keontae Jones (Cincinnati, Ohio.), Datrone Young (Delray Beach, Fla.), Tariq Castro-Fields (Upper Marlboro, Md.), and Faion Hicks (Fort Lauderdale, Fla.).

The Badgers will likely have to wait until the 2016 season before adding a second cornerback to the class.
