MOVE ROBINSON TO THE MIDDLE!!!!!!!! This is certainly a possibility. But it is not a decision anyone here will be making. So why are you shouting?

Its OK to admit it. Coach Sheffield failed yesterday. I m not disputing he hasnt compiled a very good record of accomplishments and is a very good coach in practice. But sorry the SMH goes to you and in a decisive fashion. "Yeh that's real controversial get your best performing player Smrek on the court much more!" How would running an MJ-Smerk 5-1 put "Smrek on the court much more"? Was she going to play backrow? In the 6-2 UW runs, Smrek plays three front row rotations, then gets subbed out. In a 5-1, Smrek would play three front row rotations, and then get subbed out. At the quantum level, if she were subbed out, she would still have an impact on the front row. Just saying. __________Re next year's incoming DS/L recruits: Lola Schumacher is evidently well-thought of enough to have been selected to the Jan. 2, 2024 Under Armor spectacular (Team 'Fire', along with Fuerbringer).

I hope her blocking and defense are ready for next level. The setting seems phenomenal from the video I have seen. I think blocking and defense are a little more difficult to judge how she will do at the next level. I also hope Van Wie (I'll call her Beetle .. get it VW Beetle... anyway...) gets lots of reps preseason also. May be tough with two freshman setters. Badgers have lucked into a lot of good back up setter options since Shef has taken over. You would not want the whole season going down hill if your setter was hurt. Texas and Nebraska both have freshmen setters this year and we had Carlini and Hilley as freshmen setters in the past.

as if madi didn’t? 😠i don’t understand this rationale The voting for this happens on Wednesday before the final four. I do think Sarah was much more impactful for Wisconsin for the year, but don't worry I'm sure Madi will get MVP of the tournament. I know the voting is before the final four — that’s why I was saying Madi also had just as an impactful (if not more) season than Sarah. The stats don’t lie — she scored almost a point more per set over the season and took a team that a lot of you didn’t think was a top 10 team to the Final Four (and now the National Championship.)

So this has been talked about in the Texas thread for some reason but I’m curious what the badgers think.
If Sheff goes from a 6-2 to a 5-1 next season who do y'all think will get benched between Smerk, Booth, CC and Robinson? Or do y’all think one of the RS will fill the OH opening?
I’m intrigued and thought it would be a far more productive conversation here than there lol.
Also congrats to the badgers and Franklin on NPOY

That's not a cop out answer, but Kelly puts whoever is playing the best on the floor, and we'll play a lot with the combinations early on in the season to see what works. I think Smrek definitely stays on the right side, though.

Carlini might be coaching in the fall, maybe that can make up for it. I figure you guys probably already know this stuff, but maybe a reminder: her mother was an all-American setter at Long Beach State who won an NCAA national championship, her father a four time all American at Stanford who won a national championship, they run a well-known club in Southern California, Charlie plays indoor and beach at a nationally ranked high school that has head coaches with NCAA university level coaching experience, and have former NCAA players - including Grace Loberg - on their staffs. It's not like she's lost, wandering in the desert, bereft of any coaching help.

Also congrats to the badgers and Franklin on NPOY Barring a transfer, I think the Opposites and incoming freshman and Orzol all get to compete for the OH spot. If Damrow or Schumaker are good enough to take the libero jersey, Orzol may be our OH, but I think Smrek could be a really good OH that gets subbed or hid like Grace Loberg, only taking a small slice of the court when on serve/recieve.

(Both trying to get reps in with everyone at the same time) Isn't Van Wie the only other setter next year?

I think Robinson certainly has the athleticism to play opposite if one of the incoming freshman or Orzol don’t take it over.

Also congrats to the badgers and Franklin on NPOY Most likely CC, then Robinson, but they are all great players. Sheffield could end up platooning in some form so they all get playing time. I think moving one of them to OH won’t happen — we’ve already got some OHs and there are going to be some great OHs in the portal.
