robtearle , Robinson enrolled in January 2020. She was on campus for about 6 weeks before COVID happened and everyone was sent home. And that would normally mean she has through the fall semester of 2024 to use up her eligibility. Because VB is a fall only sport, early spring enrollment doesn't "cost" them anything; that would not be the case for hockey, or basketball, eg. But because of the COVID rules, she has an extra year; she has through the fall of 2025 to use the four years of eligibility she currently has available. Likewise for Smrek and Jardine. No one has eligibility through Fall 2025. fall 21, 22, 23, 24.

She could, for example, red-shirt in 2022 (because of injury, etc) and so have eligibility remaining in 2025. She has through the fall of 2025 to use the four years of eligibility.

And Minnesota has Shaff through 23. Will it be Wisconsin vs Minnesota for Swenson?? Unless there is something about her I don't know, Shaffmaster should have eligibility through 2024 as well; spring 2021 doesn't count against her eligibilty. Yes, technically she will have another year of eligibility. I’m very curious if people are going to be using that 5th year of eligibility way down the road though… either way Minnesota will need a setter in 2024, unless they want to start a frosh in 25. Here’s to hoping Stella Swenson chooses Minnesota.

Wow. Those are both really nice. Love what Demps and Smrek bring. Seem like two really mature heads on some young, tall shoulders.

Ok, now that's a little different. That's still four seasons of play.

I'm beginning to wonder what the deal is with Orzol. Watching her in the pregame there was no visible sign of injury, though that doesn’t rule it out. I wonder if it might be an eligibility issue. Something from her previous education? Paperwork didn’t get to admissions office?
Demps just isn’t the answer. At times she was clueless as to what was going on.

Demps is young. She will get better. I see a lot of good signs there. She absolutely has to go through learning periods to get there though. Orzol has years of international experience with Poland, so you expect her to make the transition to NCAA game pretty easily.
We know for a fact that Julia was hampered by an ankle injury this summer at the WCH. It really reduced her playing time. It could be that they want to do everything they can to make sure she is completely over that so it doesn't draw out through the year.
Another thing to consider is that they might want to give Orzol time to adapt to classes and balancing the academic demands with the vball ones at a top US university. She speaks good English, but she has commented that she often is confused by common idioms.

Something from her previous education? Paperwork didn’t get to admissions office? Demps just isn’t the answer. At times she was clueless as to what was going on. (Prefacing with "I have no answers here") Would a paperwork/eligibility issue preclude her from taking swings and jumping reps during warmups, yet allow her to be in uniform and on the court collecting and passing out balls etc during those same warmups? I could buy that idea if she were not in uniform but was rather acting as a student aide, etc. But she's dressed in uniform, on "the bench" with the rest of the eligible-to-play players. Iit's a mystery that I hope we get an answer to soon.

I though Orzol's absence may be related to her ankle. I thought she tweaked it during an early practice. I doubt it is an eligibility issue?

I am so happy to see Lauren Jardine on the court. With such strong opponents this last weekend, I am surprised they gave her some playing time. She's going to be very good and fun to watch. I love watching her attack the ball, it's a hard hit. I want to see more!

Has Sheffield made any statement about Orzel‘s absence at all? If so I haven’t seen it. That strikes me as odd.
