One of the top recruits from the 2009 draft class is no longer sporting the cardinal and white. Sophomore wide receiver Kraig Appleton is no longer a badger.
It was announced after the spring game that Appleton had left school and would not be returning to the team this fall. The fallout for Appleton at Wisconsin started when he was suspended indefinitely by Wisconsin head coach Bret Bielema in February.
Appleton and two other players were suspended indefinitely for violating team rules. The other two players, redshirt linebacker Nick Hill and redshirt defensive lineman Shelby Harris, have yet to be given a timetable as to when they can return to the team.
After the spring game Bielema said that the other two players will be evaluated in the next couple weeks to see if they had met the goals that Bielema had laid out for them to do.
But one of thing is for sure...the once highly praised Appleton is a badger no more.
