I followed Fumagalli because I knew he was good. It was the oddest situation when he went to Wis. He had other offers, none from Wis, and went to Wis as a walk on. Shortly after he committed Wis offered another TE a scholarship. In all likelihood Fumagali is going to be playing on Sundays. Good for him.
Yeah he was really good in High School but kinda skinny - he has sure filled out and blossomed on the field these past few years!!
Yes kinda a head scratcher - but From what I heard - he really liked Wisconsin and the academics there and yes walked away from some scholarships at some other schools. Not sure if what I herd back then is accurate or not - but it would explain a little of the route he decided to take versus some of the other options he had.
Didn’t Montini have a great player do something similiar last year as well? Joe Spivak? Fantastic player and had other options but went to Northwestern as a PWO? Man I can definitely see that if you can swing the tuition - top 20 school in the country academically.
