Whatever happens with setting, I strongly suspect there’ll be buy-in and agreement from all parties.

1 - I want to see the offense ran like it was back in the Handley/Schau setting days. Handley much taller and better blocker with Schau so much shorter but a very good defensive player. So you want to see a return to 2014? Apparently, we all can't be as articulate in our posting as you are.

I don't think Stella is going to transfer but I also think the age of redshirting game-ready players to "save them for later" is over as coaches assess the transfer risk. I'd actually be in favor of dropping redshirting as a concept all together and giving players the Covid-era five years of eligibility, but that would require an adjustment of scholarship numbers. So everyone is given 5 years of full eligibility indefinitely? Why.

I would really like to see Stella run a 5-1 offense next year and Shaff take more of a mentor position. Helping Stella with defense and blocking and all of the ins and outs of the transition to D1 volleyball. Shaffs placement and mobility have gotten better, but I’m not sure her placement is where our hitters need it. Also, Stella seems to feel comfortable leading the offense, even from the few matches I’ve seen. In the 4th she had two aces, one block, and had a play in the front row where she dug the ball out of the next that kept the ball alive, and im not sure many setters could have done that. I really love Shaffmaster, she is wonderful, but I’m ready for her to be a mentor for Stella and for Shaff to go in the match if Stella needs help.

It looks like you will need to reserve tickets again for the Illinois match this weekend. It’s free. z.umn.edu/WaterlooTickets

Does anyone really think that SS's dream is to sit for a year?
I am not going to say anything further on this topic Repeating my premise doesn’t count LOL

No. But… 5 years of paid education, including tutors. University stipend. NIL. The ability to observe, learn, and train before being dumped into the deep end. I am (obviously) not she. I don’t think I can even put myself into her shoes, and think like a highly-sought elite athlete. But I’d probably take the redshirt offer if it were given to me.

This is not the team of fall of 2024. We already have another middle coming. And there is a transfer portal coming up. But it's time for spring speculation. Have to say I enjoy all the different takes and thoughts. It will be interesting to see which players can improve their skill sets for the fall.

Hey folks! Check out the "Wisconsin Badgers 2024" thread--the presale tickets for the Showcase on 9/1 and 9/2 in Milwaukee (with Texas, Stanford, WI and MN) just went on sale for WI season ticket holders and someone posted their promo code--and it appear to work for anyone! 🤷🏻♀️The tickets aren't cheap --$90 (plus fees)for floor seats an $60 (plus fees) for first tier seats, and you need to buy a separate ticket for each of the dates (with two matches on each day).
