I learned the game watching the Badgers from 1999 onward. If my memory is not wrong, knowing what I do now, Byrd was a very good back row player for a left side her first two years, then evolved into being more of an offensive threat when she needed to take a bigger role in her last two. To be fair, however, she had a huge kill when UCLA had rallied to tie it 12 in the fifth set of the 2000 Regional Final. Maastricht could go off on you, for sure. In 2000, when Rodriguez went down in the Regionals, the team dynamic changed. We still beat USC in the Final Four but Cook had his entire blocking scheme focus on Maastricht in the NC match. It worked and they neutralized her. That opened things up for Rittenhouse 1:1 on the RS but she wasn't as terminal as Rodriguez. Oh what could have been... Bryd was a very good all around player. That's why she did well on the AVP.

Hey all. Brief diversion to the situation in Turkey. Check the Turkish league thread for the impact to volleyball from the earthquake. I realize it is far far from Istanbul, but let's hope no one from Guctekin's family are impacted. My understanding is she had no affected family thank goodness for her.

not a badger homer but my starters would be : carlini rettke / hart (her 5th year lol) haggerty / Franklin (ds bates) Robinson (ds clark) barnes I agree with most of your team except hart was better than nelson imo and I like bates over orzol as a ds for Franklin This is pretty good. Agree with other poster that Sherisa Livingston and Rettke should be middles. For outside, I would go Erin Byrd and Haggerty. For opposite, I would say Robinson/Amy Lee. Anyone remember Claudia Rodriguez? She'd be a good backup. Libero Lauren Barnes/Sarah Urbanek with Clark as DS. Bates was inconsistent and better at reacting to offspeed rather than reading. I'd put Civita on the bench for DS, she made the players around her better and a tough server. Consider Shaw, Jeffers, and Reineke. There was plenty of volleyball before Carlini.

Sorry, but Franklin doesn't crack the top 5 OHs at our program. I think the closest we had to a game-changing OH in an era of Penn State dominance was Brittney Dolgner. Maastrict and Byrd are above Franklin. I'd even put Chapman up there.

Per "stories" posts on her instagram, she and friends from the UW Association of Turkish Students were out on State St yesterday trying to raise money for relief organizations. They also have a link up where people can donate online. donate.tpfund.org/fundraiser/4427681

Marquette announced that the Spring game against the Badgers will be March 31 in Oconomowoc (presumably the high school), 7:30 p.m. The other announced games are Wednesday, April 5 against Athletes Unlimited in the Field House and Sunday, April 16 versus Purdue at Lake Central High School in St. John, Indiana. Kelly mentioned at the Awards Banquet that there would be four games, so still one more to be announced.

Could also be a smaller school like UWGB or any other school from Iowa, Illinois, Minnesota, Indiana, whatever else is in our 400 mile radius

incorrect. its a drill that helps passers keep their hand balanced and out and front of them, not making any sudden or over-exaggerated movements to prevent the pads from falling. its a common drill for passers

That makes sense. Not sure if previous commenter has actually found it "a waste of time" by experience, or if they are just being snarky.

Its a passing/SR drill you keep the pads/saucers upright in your hands and then you move your platform to correct passing angle letting the pads drop and making pass : but you have to make the pass without lowering your hands just turning shoulders to create angle: this is an example of a coach coming up with a theory with zero real science or basis: tracking skills ( ability to judge direction and depth and time till arrival) are the keys: keeping forearms parallel to floor throughout movement is just a coaches theory. Eys brain movement shoulder girdle range of motion. This is what happens when coaches are board and have to much time: they experiment and if they have a good team by association a drill is deemed worth while: but food players develop even with crazy coaching drills
