No, it is accurate. I've posted before that Wisconsin's 2.17 from 2019 was one of the best team grades in the B1G. In the spring Nebraska had a team grade of 2.15, Penn State 2.17, Purdue 2.14 and even Ohio State were at 2.09. Minnesota had a SR grade of 1.97. It's also a nod to Clark and Dodge for holding it together in 2019. The drop off was logical. Improvement from Barnes would be helpful, she's always been a great defender but I'll be curious to see if her passing is better this year. Yeah, I think everyone knew that was going to be an issue. It's why they were working on their OOS offense. It's also why Sheffield added Civita, Reed and Boyer to the roster. As you said, Barnes has always been a better defender than a passer and that is unlikely to change now. I was commenting that Wisconsin needs better passing to make the most of their weapons. I don't think UW fans would disagree with that.

I wanna see Smrek beat out Hart but I doubt the blocking would be there

I don't think UW fans would disagree with that. Wisconsin could go back to a 2019 lineup. Where they passed with two for all six rotations: Clark-Dodge, Clark-Barnes But now with Barnes-Civita, Barnes-Boyer That would be 3 passers (Barnes, Civita, Boyer) all ranked 6th or better in BIG TEN Passing stats this past spring. It removes the backrow attack, but passing>backrow attack

The question seems to be, as it was last Spring, whether the badgers invest in an OOS and BR options at the expense of passing and the middle and RS attack, or whether they go all in the the passing and the middle attack as in 2019. It depends on how the OHs do early in the year, but I'm leaning toward the latter.

Dennis back to doing Dennis things. Love this story on Hart. Her Jeep sounds really cool, perfect for her travels.
PS: She confirms that she is graduating in December and not taking her 6th year. She wants to go pro.

I feel like that is not Danielle Hart in that picture.
She and Tionna Williams should open Badger art studio.

What about Moving Civita to the libero and Barnes on DS would not go in the direction of inproving team passing skills? And improving middles attacking %?

She wants to go pro. These stories are a great contribution to the Badger fan base...they give these people who play volleyball depth, and many more facets. So much for "sports journalism," huh?

The actual print spread for the Hart story is spectacular. Well done. She’s got most of the front page of the sports section.

Game Day!!! Anybody else getting twitchy? I'm TRYING to work before driving down. It's only working because I left myself easy work knowing I'd be antsy.
