Introducing your Madison Mustangs

Two former Badgers will be playing for the semi-pro Madison Mustangs this year: Jason Settle and James Kamoku. Um, Cap Times, don't you mean Jason Suttle? The same Jason Suttle who looked like he wanted to smack me when I charged him $2.20 for two slices of bread during my short stint as a Frank's Place cashier? I think he was in the Packers' camp about five years ago, but didn't stick. Best of luck to both.

Coaching tree grows another branch

UWBadgers.com has a brief story about how James Kamoku will be a defensive backs coach at Madison East this fall. And the Badgers' football coaching tree grows another branch.

In past posts I've written about former Badger players and coaches who are still coaching, primarily in college and the pros. But what about at the high school level? Leave a comment with anyone you know of who fits this description so I can write a bit more about them.

Regarding Kamoku: could he be the last Hawaiian we see in awhile? From Donovan Raiola to R.J. Morse to Lyle Maiava to Kamoku, it seemed like we were mining what has been a talented location for players. But none of them made a lasting impact. Reminds me of our foray into California recruiting, although those guys contributed more than the Hawaiians.

Just goes to show that you can't just throw a fishing line into a state and expect that whoever you pull back will be an all-conference pick.
