Sheffield is quiet about who's on scholarship and who's not at any given time. Occasionally he makes a revealing comment, like in one interview he commented that the COVID bonus year meant that they could get Gio on scholarship. Keep in mind when counting up scholarships that - as best I understand things - for 2021, the scholarship number limit is not "the limit"; that is, anyone on scholarship who 'participated' in 2020 and then came back for their extra COVID year in 2021 and would otherwise have been out of eligibility can remain on scholarship without counting against the limit (for fall sports, but not for winter sports; ie for football and volleyball, but not basketball and hockey). That is, Rettke and Loberg and Barnes and Hilley can be on scholarship for 2021 and NOT count against the 2021 limit (as long as UW is willing to fund the 'extra' scholarships). ------------- Also - as best I understand things - volleyball is a "head count" sport (as opposed to an 'equivalency' sport), meaning 'partial' scholarships are not permitted. You are either on scholarship, or you're not (for a given year). In addition to volleyball (all schools) as a hed count sport, I read an article in 2014 that all schools in the big 10 agreed to guarantee all scholarships as long as the athlete was in good standing. This meant that once you are on scholarship you will stay on scholarship. In other words you would not a scholarship freshman year then off your next year. You could for instance not be on scholarship year one and two, but if you were given a scholarship year three you must get the same scholarship year 4. Does anyone have a different understanding?

That's what I have always assumed the term partial scholarship to mean. A full scholarship is getting all 4 years +RS years paid. I often get confused when discussions of head counts come in as if that's counter to the idea of partial scholarships.

I often get confused when discussions of head counts come in as if that's counter to the idea of partial scholarships. For "equivalence" sports, such as hockey, partial scholarship means a fraction of a full scholarship. For hockey, the limit is 18, but the roster size of a team is more likely to be maybe 24 or so. So for example, a team might have 12 players on full scholarship, and the other 12 on half-scholarships. So 12 + (12 * 1/2) = 18. Under 'head count', that would be 24 scholarships, even though the amount of money is only the equivalent of 18.

This does look like the year of the Badger for volleyball. In regular season, which match do you see giving Wisconsin the biggest challenge?

Kentucky, Ohio State, Nebraska in Lincoln Also Penn State, and Minnesota in Minneapolis. I know, blah blah blah, Minnesota lost to Baylor and PSU lost to Georgia Tech. But by the time we get both of those, they'll have ironed out a LOT of the kinks.

Yep. Hoping it's not true, but there remains the hope that testing caught the infection before they were really infectious. If they had been infected in Madison, well, there is no telling where it would have come from and how many were exposed. The question for the badgers becomes, which dressing room did the gophers use? On the upside, most of the badgers front line have had it AND been vaccinated by now. They should have some serious immuno protection. Does anyone know what the Gophers' vaccination situation is? Sheff said everyone affiliated with the Badgers VB program is vaccinated, but I'm not sure how common that is across the conference. The good news about breakthrough infections in vaccinated people is that they are symptomatic and contagious for only about 5-6 days, much less than the 3+ weeks that non-vaccinated people are affected. Non-vaccinated people are not contagious for 3 weeks.

I agree with Mick 100% that our left-side attack is weaker than Texas's is.
Orzol may get to where we need her to be by end of season. She's pretty close now.

Non-vaccinated people are not contagious for 3 weeks. They can be. I've seen 10 days to upwards of 20. And unvaccinated people can be sick for months. Vaccinated folks get better quickly.

Okay, I get it being a weakness in not as good as Texas. That is fair. Really excited by Orzol's potential, though, and Loberg and Demps are both capable of going off on teams offensively, as we have seen. Plus, they have Jardine and Gregorski too. Given some of the "creative" lineups Sheffield has started and won with over his tenure, it is the most set they have ever been at the position, by a wide margin. Good thing in a year with a lot of variables.

I'm watching the BTN airing of the Baylor match. Audrey Flaugh is really pronouncing our new OH's name "OOH-lee-uh," isn't she? *sigh*
