I thought she was one of the more impressive pieces of the Baylor team the few times I've seen her. Glad she decided to spend a year in Madison. it will be an interesting experiment if nothing else Just out of curiosity…what do you mean by “experiment”? Interesting choice of words.

I actually kinda didn’t think she was more than just average with Baylor and I also believe that most of those players realized they had no shot at winning it all. The “experiment” would be seeing if her game elevates in an environment in which it is certainly realistic to believe you have a chance to win it all. No hidden meaning in this. 😁

I’ve only seen her (Baylor) play a couple times, and I don’t have a strong read on her. So I can’t disagree with you. Her experience is still a really nice addition to this year’s team/gym, and perhaps provides the staff with some insurance against unforeseen injuries in back court, at minimum.

TL;DR of the article: She wasn’t able to find a spot on a pro roster, so she put herself in the transfer portal with the goal of playing at Wisconsin or Nebraska to take her game to the next level. Her mom is the Madfrog recruiting director and (with permission) she contacted Dildine and shared her daughter’s interest in the program. Sheff called her and that was that.
She’s fully aware of the players coming in and Sheff emphasized with her that there will be a bunch of competition, and she may well not be the libero. Furthermore, if we wind up running a 6-2, there will be less DS opportunity. She said she just wants to compete and be in the gym and soak up the culture.

I think for the badgers to run a 6-2, Sheffield will absolutely want some excellent passers to reduce the pressure on their new starting setters. Despite Sheffield’s warning to her about reductions in BR opportunities with a move to a 6-2 (as reported by Punzel) I think the transfer of Bramschreiber actually makes a 6-2 much more likely. I give moving to a 6-2 even odds at this point. So much depends on the setters and connections though.

Texas did that in 2014 where they ran a 6-2 and also had a DS for one of the outsides and you go through subs like crazy.

Badgers have done 3 per rotation in different forms most recent years. That would mean Franklin (and probably Hammill) would have to stay in late in sets if teams were trading points. I could see that happening. Smrek rotating to BR would be interesting! Lol.

I could see that happening. Smrek rotating to BR would be interesting! Lol. When you say 3 subs per rotation, you mean 3 pairs of subs? Because except at the end of sets, subs get done in pairs. Civita comes in for Loberg, and then three rotations later. Loberg comes back in for Civita, etc. Sheffield is clearly OK with six, or three pairs, even though it can get them into 'trouble' near the end of a back-and-forth set; plenty of examples for the last couple years. But because one of the 'regular' subs being made the last couple years has been Izzy subbing in to serve for Dana, going to a 6-2 (or the 5-2 I would prefer) doesn't 'cost' anything more in terms of sub count. Instead of Izzy going in and out paired with Dana, Izzy would be going in and out with, say, Smrek (or directly with MJ). Same sub count, same number available for DS-for-left subbing. "Smrek rotating to BR would be interesting!" - Or Izzy ending up at MB with Dana on the bench. That happened last year vs Michigan State.

There’s a real danger for Wisconsin to overthink this No...that's what coaches do in the summer/pre-season, don't they? They're probably in the office with their 17 Chess pieces running scenarios until August whatever. It ought to be a fun game if you've got really good Chess pieces like Sheffield does. (I wonder if Gary White has a program that plugs in other teams' Chess pieces now to determine probable outcomes now. )

(I wonder if Gary White has a program that plugs in other teams' Chess pieces now to determine probable outcomes now. ) it’s very interesting to watch teams that have a wealth of talent. Sometimes it’s like going to the restaurant with too many items on the menu. Stick with the Club House if it’s good - you can’t go wrong 😂

"Smrek rotating to BR would be interesting!" Sheffield was quoted in an article last year that he though Smrek could play in the backrow and that she has a nasty serve.
