Gülce Gütekin is really stepping up and shining thus far. A really exciting future with her and Damrow next year. A nice transition from Barnes/Civita. We really did dodge a bullet with Dru Kuck. She would be in Izzys class and is/was totally not Badger material.

She would be in Izzys class and is/was totally not Badger material. Retracting a scholarship can barely be called dodging a bullet. More like deciding not to pull the trigger? Looking forward to seeing what Damrow can bring though.

They kind of overplayed GG's lack of serving experience on the broadcast, but I think the idea that she wouldn't serve this year has been put to bed. Corollary statement: While I agree that Izzy has been the better setter in 2022, the fact that she has herself, Orzol and GG serving while she's out there has to be an advantage in terms of how much her side of the rotation scores.

Yeah. That is an advantage.

Her own serving and GG's are the reason the second set numbers are that skewed.

Perhaps your characterization is more apt but it still doesn't change the gist of just how crucial that decision in particular could have impacted things in a most deleterious way. If they had not pulled the scholarship we may have not ended up bringing in Barnes and we could have had all kinds of chemistry issues.

Your stats confirm what my eyes where seeing. Even if you assume Izzy is the better setter, you don't get rid of the 6-2. I love the big block all the time in the front row. Robinson and Smrek blocking other teams left sides is a really, really good thing. P.S. I love Robinson back at RS instead of MB. She is soooooooo valuable there.

I really like how the Badgers are trending right now. Lots of areas for improvement for sure. But the ceiling continues to be really high, in my view. Having said that, I am fixated on Smrek a bit, and I’m puzzled as to why she hasn’t really hit her gear so far, especially in attack.
Just thinking out loud here. And I can’t help but think Itz fundamentally a setting/connection/timing issue. I can see that for the new Izzy/MJ regime in 6-2, trying to consistently put up a good ball in Anna’s “wheelhouse” may be a bit more difficult right now….she is 6’9” and touches 11’3” with that whip she possesses. Pretty unique skill set, even for this Badger team when compared to the others. Could that be an issue?…Is it that simple? IDK.
In any case, I hope itz just growing pains and/or a work in progress, and more patience is in order. I love her upside and proven offensive potential on the team. Hope everyone getz it figured out. And the sooner the better.
If anyone else has thoughts, I sure would like to hear.
