Hannah was hurt her junior year and was coming off foot/ ankle surgery her senior HS & Club season. Credit to Shef for honoring her recruiting commitment, made by Waite. I'm not sure how many top programs would have jumped in and taken a chance on her then.
Now with a summer & season of top conditioning under her belt, I would bet she already has a quality VB home. Wisconsin goes out of thier way to help find a good future fit (as was done for Fricano)

The initial article on her commitment stated that she was on the verge of committing elsewhere. Sheff was at a tournament watching Julia Saunders (Hannah's teammate on 1st Alliance), and saw that Hannah's dad had a Wisconsin cell phone case, and struck up a conversation. Also, she committed before Hilley, not after. So when she committed, she could have seen herself redshirting as a true freshman, being backup setter as a redshirt freshman, and then running the Badger offense for three years. Still and all, given her injury, I'm not sure all coaches would've honored their commitment to her. I'm sad that Hannah is leaving. She seems like a good kid. I am sure she'll land on her (now healed and much stronger) feet.

That was probably a very hard decision for her but she's going to make another team that much better. Juley has a lot of potential. the off season could get interesting I guess I wonder why she went to WI in the first place . She knew what was happening coming in. If she wasn't up for a fight for starting role against Hilley, why come to WI? Juley was committed to Wisconsin before Hilley committed. She probably thought that she had the chance to fight for a starting spot, either in a 5-1 or a 6-2. With Hilley as a setter/hitter, the idea of a USC-2015-style 6-2 isn't crazy (Hilley playing six rotations, hitting in front and setting in back, and Juley setting in back and subbing out for a hitter in front). Even with her injury and prolonged recovery, Erin Juley transferred to Wisconsin, and it looked like the sisters would be able to play together for a season, so that was probably enough to keep Hannah committed. Besides, reopening your recruitment has to be hugely stressful. Things changed dramatically between now and then: Juley spent a chunk of this year injured, Hilley was picked up by Team USA and led her club to 2nd place in the AAU 18 Opens, Robbins transferred in, and Dixon committed... the math changes.

I got the story from this article, but it doesn't mention where. host.madison.com/sports/college/volleyball/badgers-volleyball-recruiting-class-could-be-best-in-nation/article_114f2ff4-8696-50ae-bd63-246c0e28d6be.html

I think an OH will be transferring too. Based on what? The fact that it's okay for schools like Penn State and Nebraska and Texas to have talent sitting on the bebvch, but apparently Wisconsin isn't allowed to have more good players than starting spots?

Really glad to hear the Hannah is transferring, as others said, it is a waste to have such a talented setter sitting with little chance to play. I wish her the best wherever she ends up
But man, the Juley girls really did not have any luck in Madison did they

I think an OH will be transferring too. Agreed, there is a definite pecking order and with Molly coming in this year and then an incredible class of hitters next with Bates/Gillis still on the roster, there will be some that just do not win the playing time battle. It sucks, you would like to see everybody get meaningful and somewhat equal playing time but that will not happen if you want to win

If you have absolutely no chance of seeing the court and there's a great opportunity somewhere else then go fer it.

Woof, well my 2015-2019 roster doc didn't stay "final" for very long. If there's not a transfer in the works, has the coaching staff ever given a schollie to a deserving player, say MacDonald, for just a season? Or is this not football?

Curious what happens to her scholarship now, Badgers have 16 on the roster with Juley transferring next year and 17 the next, They most likely do not need to fill that roster spot provided no other transfers occur. Robbins/Macdonald are most likely not on scholarship, giving Robbins the schollie would even them back out for the foreseeable future at 4/3/3/2 by class for next season.
Edit: HA! I was typing while Badgerace (New name, recognizable by the pic?) was posting the same thoughts!

Is it true that you can only travel with 16 players? So for the next 3 years somebody's going to be sitting in Madison for the away matches? Or am I wrong?

The NCAA as far as I know has no restriction on travel roster size, however the Big Ten used to and probably still does have a roster limit of 16 eligible athletes for away games. Not sure if this would count in out of conference games. Big 12 had/has a limit of 15, think Pac 12 is the same
