We need Big Hit Whit to land somewhere in the B1G just for the drama alone. Alternatively a particular burnt orange team would also be good for the drama Aged well

Taylor's Hitting % 2023 .222 2022 .257
TTA for comparison 2023 .233 [new team, new system, new setter, higher stakes /increased pressure] 2022 .252
Taylor struggles in serve receive
Kelly would have to be willing to repeat the TTA experiment if Taylor insists on playing all the way around. Any way you slice it, it seems like a big and risky bet
Word on the street (VT) is that she demanded 6 rotations. Unsure how true that is, but it makes sense why she was never subbed out of the back row. The ONLY time all season she left the court was when she tweaked her ankle in the High Point or Creighton match. I can’t remember which one. It’s hilarious anyone thinks a player can demand something like this. Not a chance.

I can’t, under any circumstances, see her being promised anything at Wisconsin. Certainly not promised 6 rotations. Sheffield is pretty clear that playing time is earned and not given based on promises. If I know only two things about vb coaches, it’s that they always say playing time is earned not promised AND they always think that they can coach the player up better than their previous coach.

No I didn’t. I do note she made first team all Big Ten this season. Obviously a drop off from the prior season, but still good. Taylor's Hitting % 2023 .222 2022 .257

One reason for Landfair’s 2023 performance is she had a new coach. Her stablemate Wurcherer also had a rough time in 2023. It is worth noting that Landfair’s first two years’ hitting percentages are better than Orzol’s. My point is that Landfair is probably the best OH in the portal and it would be ridiculous for Sheffield to ignore her. It’s certainly a risk, but to me it doesn’t seem large compared to doing nothing or getting the next best OH in the portal.

Sheffield would absolutely bring on Landfair if he got the chance. I’m sure he thinks that he can be the one to fix her passing and her other deficiencies. She’s also the missing piece that will complete his quest to build the tallest starting line up ever.

The story that’s been on here for months is that when K Cook came in last year and met with the players that Hugh left, Taylor made it clear that she wasn’t interested in staying if she wasn’t going to be developed as a 6 rot OH due to her wanting to play international after college. That’s what has been stated on VT so take it with a grain of salt.

Doesn’t Landfair have 2 years left based on a medical redshirt? If so she may be more appealing because she slides into Wrobbels scholarship and would be gone the same time they thought Ella would originally be gone. But if you are asking me without scholarship consideration I’d rather take a chance on Jurevicious. That’s just person preference. Scholarship management wise, Landfair may make far more sense. I think Jurevicious is an Opposite though CJ can play both.

So would most Wisconsin fans take Landfair over Rutherford? Just curious. As a Nebraska fan, I'd be more inclined to take Rutherford...even if it's only for one year over Landfair's two.

If we’re gonna talk about benching Wisconsin’s glue player, can we at least spell her name properly? Orzoł or, I mean even Oz which is her team nickname; we'll take either.
