Replacing Anna, Frank, Devyn, Julia, Carly, MJ, Izzy and CC isn't gonna be easy but so was replacing Rettke, Hilley, Loberg, Barnes and Duello. I think we'll be good for the future.

Seems good. She lacks hops and power, but some of that will come with higher level training.

Carly is the replacement for MJ or Izzy. Along with our two frosh setters, so we are good there (especially bc Horner comes in the year after Carly leaves keeping us with 3 setters on the roster). Horner will primarily be a RS, but also on the setter depth chart. I have been thinking about replacing the others & so far here’s what we have OH: Franklin -> Quest Julia -> Portal? RS: Smrek -> Horner MB: CC -> Wardlow Devyn -> Portal? Also adding Kristen Simon to of DS/L group which will consist of Senior GG, Junior Damrow, Sophomores Maile Chan & Lola Schumacher, Frosh Simon

They've been off the radar. At least two of these smalls will step up.

She was probably serving in a scrimmage, but Robinson for the Demps role is an interesting option, and frees up the MB/RS Log jam. Would be good for a pro career too. Will the passing work though? If the OH duo stays as Franklin and Orzoł, they'd be able to hide the opposite in the passing formation. I honestly still don't think it's a super likely combo, but if she made big strides in floor defense, then I'm happy to be proven wrong. You can always hide the opposite in the passing formation considering that opposites generally do not pass. I can't remember the last college opposite (not DS's for opposites) that I actually saw pass regularly, though of course it happens (except in rotation 2)

Demps was actually a pretty good defender as an opposite. She read situations well and kept on her feet. She let Orzol and Barnes do the diving. That left her available for BR attacks in transition as much as possible. Not sure how Dev would stack up in that respect. We just haven't seen it. As a long term middle and now a RS, it hasn't been something she has had to do much in her career. But if she sees a pro future on the RS, it's a skill set she should pick up.

I think there's little chance that Devyn (if it is her at opposite) plays back row except at the end of sets. We have quality DS's - and if Orzol and Frank are the OH's, then they're both playing 6 rotations. But if she does, she'll be okay playing defense at RB, and will presumably add a hitting option out of the back. There is a concern since Julia has not looked that great hitting out of the backrow that you have one or two rotations with only two hitting options, but Fuerbringer looks willing to call her own number so I think we're fine there. The biggest reason we might see Devyn back-row again? If Carly Anderson turns out to be really good - good enough so that we end up back in a 6-2. In that case, you can bet Fuerbringer/Robinson will be the end-of-set combination for when we run out of subs.

Just saying… 🏐

In that case, you can bet Fuerbringer/Robinson will be the end-of-set combination for when we run out of subs. The reason for Dev being BR attack option in a 5-1 is to get all the first team hitters on the floor in some capacity. I suspect Anna will be RS and Booth will def be 1 middle. I would guess CC and Dev duke it out for the other middle spot. My money is on Dev wining that, but CC is such a utility knife as a player and Sheff loves that. If Dev can hit effectively out of the backrow then there are still three hitters when Charlie is in the front row and can't attack, and CC stays middle next to Booth. With Booth running the slide (and CC for one ro), I'd imagine it would free up space for a BR player to attack. I doubt it would happen. We've only seen her hit out the BR once with the USNT. But it's fun to think about, and it would solve a problem. It will be interesting to see if Charlie makes Orzol more effective as a BR hitter.

Carly is the replacement for MJ or Izzy. Along with our two frosh setters, so we are good there (especially bc Horner comes in the year after Carly leaves keeping us with 3 setters on the roster). Horner will primarily be a RS, but also on the setter depth chart. I have been thinking about replacing the others & so far here’s what we have OH: Franklin -> Quest Julia -> Portal? RS: Smrek -> Horner MB: CC -> Wardlow Devyn -> Portal? Also adding Kristen Simon to of DS/L group which will consist of Senior GG, Junior Damrow, Sophomores Maile Chan & Lola Schumacher, Frosh Simon Why do you ignore so much of the roster. First off, if Devyn moves back to MB, I doubt that CC will be starting over Booth. Also, you ignore the very highly touted MB prospect from Poland, Tosia Serafinoskia, who will likely be starting sooner rather than later.

I hope the Badgers find a left side for depth, but excess middle/right talent for 2024 is definitely a First World Problem!

Ummm the whole point was to compare the graduating players & the incoming freshman that will be here after they are gone, not sharing a season with. If you read through some of the posts, you could’ve figured that out.
