Team is busy in the gym, rolling around on the floor. /photo/1 I hope the only rolling Romana is doing is eye rolling at videos of the competition. Romana has no brace on! She also looks much fitter. great to see. Morey is badass.

Definitely a positive to see Kriskova looking healthier. Also, Morey definitely moonlights as a superhero, diving in front of oncoming traffic to save children and old women... all while only sustaining a sprained wrist as her most serious injury.

Man...bates looks pretty beat up there...Hard digging balls when you're elbows are so pointy! Great to Romana looking OK. I imagine she was not involved in those shenanigans...

Thinking more on the subject, Maddie Smith strikes me as the kind of player that Sheff would've recruited at Dayton: the diamond in the rough from lesser known club in a more remote area of the state. I look forward to seeing what she can do.

I have the same feeling. Based on the strides made by Court, Haleigh, Deme and even KT and Caroline in the roles that they played, you get the sense the coaching staff can get players to really lift elements of their game as long as the player is committed. Maddie has the feeling of one of those players that does whatever is necessary to get better, and make her team better.
And you really need players like this, who are living the dream, or have chips on shoulder or who have such strong ties to the program. I will definitely be rooting for her. We may see her serving and playing defence initially, but I'm really interested to see how she develops in other ways too. She has good stats in HS, but it is really hard to judge those. I trust that Sheff has made a judgement that she can really play, or at least has the raw materials to do so. The volleyball club machine may miss a few bright lights now and again.
Man I hope there are some spring scrimmages. I may go crazy if I have to wait until summer to see more badger vball. So much suspense going into this year. I love it!

In WI-related news, Badger alumna and 2014 Iowa assistant Jackie Simpson was just named head coach at George Mason University. www.gomason.com/ViewArticle.dbml?DB_OEM_ID=25200&ATCLID=209885726One-time Badger setter (Marquette transfer) and 2012-14 Milwaukee assistant Nikki Klingsporn has returned to the Big Ten, accepting a position as AC under Geoff Carlston at tOSU. www.ohiostatebuckeyes.com/sports/w-volley/spec-rel/020915aaa.htmlPer the folks on the jobs thread, Jackie's hire is an embarrassment, and she only got the job because she's a woman and because GMU's administration doesn't care about volleyball, and she will certainly fail, having only 4 losing seasons of ACing under her belt. I roll my eyes at this and wish both Jackie and Nikki heartfelt congratulations and the best of luck in their new positions.

I think Tionna broke something. Her lower leg/foot is in cast. Looks like she hopes to get it off by Monday. Precaution?

At any rate, I wish her a quick and full recovery.

Tionna pulled tendons in her foot, but will be back soon.

What do you mean? Haven't heard anything that would lead me to believe she's not around.
