I'm thinking for 22' Orzol at Libero Demps and Wrobel at OH's Robinson RS Hart and Smrek in Middle Hammill or Ashburn at Setter Ella Wrobel is the real deal, solid 6'4, maybe 6'5 she is probably Wisconsin's first true blue chip outside that can take over matches. Can pass, attack out of back row, and blocks extremely well. And, Yes, Wrobel as in Jenna former great from Michigan St, that's her aunt. here is a video: I’ll just say this about Ella. She reminds me - dare I say - alot of a young Plummer, if thatz possible. Not particularly court quick, and her defensive skills are just average right now. However, she is very athletic and quickly maturing physically while improving in every aspect of the game. This will help her excel immediately at the next level. But what is really impressive about her is the power and shot control. I think her hitting mechanics and footwork are truly exceptional. It appears that she can dent the floor from either pin position. And yikes!...she’s 6’5”. Very Plummer-esque. At least as good or better hitter than any of her ‘22 class contemporaries, in my opinion. Once again, another remarkable get for the Badgers! It’ll be interesting how the staff manages this hitting talent next season. |

So far it looks like everyone has contributed in one way or another this year. I expect the same will be true next year with Loberg gone.

IMHO, I think Orzol has the court awareness, attitude, and vb iq to be a Libero for her country in the future.... She's far too small for the pins... If she just concentrated on jump serving and balancing the passing I think she's the ideal athlete for this. Wouldn't it be better to use her as a DS as Kenzie Knuckles is doing for Nebraska now, and let her hit out of the back row, too? With the pins, Wrobel and hopefully Demps... the BR attack is going to be sick! |

Dana, Sydney and Barnes made the AVCA all-regional team, Devyn honorable mention (as a MB). And Dana is regional player-of-the-year

With the pins, Wrobel and hopefully Demps... the BR attack is going to be sick! So, potentially stupid question from someone who hasn't played volleyball competitively, but is it possible to have a two-person back-row attack so the setter actually has 5 options in a given rotation? |

It's kinda hard to explain this well, but since the libero is in the back row, you will only ever have four attackers. if the setter is back row, you can have the pipe attacker and 3 front row options. if the setter is front row, you could have two back row attackers but it's very rare at the NCAA level. in theory, the setter does have five options because she could also dump the ball but in terms of attacking you will only have four attackers, the setter, and the libero. hopefully that made sense |

Yes. Happens in the men's game and would obviously be your RS and OH. Challenge is getting an OH attacker that can also pass. |

But...in a certain rotation when the libero is off the floor...? Five is possible? (I'm not saying probable...I'm just wondering if anyone has ever seen it...sounds like a horror for the opposing team.) |

(I'm not saying probable...I'm just wondering if anyone has ever seen it...sounds like a horror for the opposing team.) this would mean that your serving middle would need to be able to hit a back row attack. not unheard of, but not common. It would also be in transition, not a set play after serve receive. I don't think I've ever seen a team running 5 true attackers around the setter when the middle is serving. just seems like a lot tbh. |

Not stupid question... but usually they'll be one outlet, because the others are likely a Libero and a Def Specialist. Now in the mens game, sometimes you have 5 attackers depending on their rotation, and that's making the game really fast and exciting. I say Wisconsin will likely have their OH's at middle back in BR and will attack from there... although Wrobel is pretty fierce hitting from the right back (like Samedy does). |

If we can get another middle in the spring signing period, i will feel much better about our depth in 2022. Preferably an international recruit.

They seem to think the Badgers make it to the Final Four....but after that, maybe - maybe not.

"Hoffman" seems to think Minnesota had the most arduous schedule. Ok. They played Stanford. Badgers played Kentucky. Their scheduling differences are marginal.
