Who comes back? Seems like Rettke moves on. Haggerty? Loberg?

I think Dana Rettke should be the first 5x First-Team All-American. ![:)](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/smiley.png)

Robinson will be fun. Assuming she slides in on that MB spot. Homegirl showed up b1g. Rettke has been fun to watch even tho I don't enjoy losing to y'all x. Just sad that she wasn't the same player like she was in the tourney. I dunno if she's injured or sumn but fun player.

They have to get much, much better in transition. Whether that be with the seniors this season or not. That was true after Stanford. Still true after Texas.
The decisions of Hilley and Rettke determine what Fall looks like. I think Haggerty and Loberg, while I love them, are morr replaceable.
My guess is that Haggerty, Hilley and Rettke all depart. Barnes stays. No guesses on Loberg.
If all seniors depart, then I think you look at moving Robinson back to middle with Hart. Unless Smrek is too good to keep off the floor.
I assume Demps on the left. Anxious to see Jardine and Orzol in action. Would not be surprised to see Demps/Orzol on the left and Jardine on the right. Though I know Orzol played the right side with Poland.

Honestly, the player that seemed most hurt by the COVID pause was Hart. She just was not a big enough part of the offense in the post-season. Connections were often off.
I'm not sure what that means for the coming season.

I like Robinson as the RS. She reminds me of Kelsie Payne, and she will only get better each year.
I would not be surprised if Hilley returned for fall. The cupboard is not empty so things will continue to trend up for Badgers.

My God you all move along quickly. I'm still shell shocked. In years past, when I was not on top of creating the next year’s thread, someone else did... someone with, shall we say, less benevolent intentions. I’m not sure where anything stands, but I wanted to get a placeholder up, at least.

It's my fault. I picked Wisconsin to beat Texas. The jinx was on after that.

I think Hilley stays. I lean that way with Barnes and Civita. Not so sure about Rettke. Have no idea about the outsides.
Jardine, Orzol and Smrek are really good additions next year. I think Demps will be a monster eventually.

I think Demps will be a monster eventually. It's obviously the backrow I worry about. I don't know enough there. I hope AnnaMac and Reed can fill in. I think Izzy's serving took a hit from being relegated to serving specialist. Gorum is a wild card. We've never even see her play, but she seems really athletic.
