I don’t recall Devyn getting back row attacks. But she had something like a double double in kills and digs, plus 7 blocks. If we can incorporate her in a back row attack, all the better.
Rainbowspouse commented that Anderson must be used to setting dwarves because her sets to the middle were quite low. I hope she can continue to improve those connections. But she was deceptive and crafty. I misssed setter dumps so much. And her serve is baller. She was a liability on the block, that’s gonna happen.
I’m not worried about the serving. They’re trying to make improvements and become more aggressive, and there’s a period of time where you have to suck at something before you get good. It’s April. I want them to be fearless in April.

From Mark Stewart’s Milwaukee Journal article this morning. Devin “It was so fun,” she said. “I don’t think I’ve played all the way around since high school so I was 16, 17 years old. It was really fun to go out there and stay in the whole game and just get to connect with everybody.

I want them to be fearless in April. Sheffield wants heaters across the net, and said he can live with a higher SE % if it means the ones that DO get across the net are harder to handle. Sounds like jump serving from Oz and Frank might be back on the table? Either way, is a huge change in philosophy from the last two years.

Yeah I thought a number of her sets were too low but that got better. Her serve was good, I thought. Could be an Izzy type serving sub (the role, probably not as many aces). I thought Dev served well too - way higher in rate than the other middles (but now knowing Sheff said to really let it rip maybe not as important)

Without having seen her in college, I still think Fuerbringer is the starter, BUT Anderson in the double sub would absolutely bring the heat from the service line and whoever the non-starting opposite is would still get meaningful playing time. I really liked what Anderson was doing last night. Some of the middle connections were off, but as has been pointed out, setting our redwoods isn't something I'd expect to be clean from a new-to-us setter.
I'm confident that they'll continue getting gym time and figuring out connections and the like. I saw nothing last night that diminishes my excitement or thought that we'll be poised for things to click for a good late- and post-conference run.

How would a double sub work...unless you're suggesting we sit one of Smrek or Robinson?

How would a double sub work...unless you're suggesting we sit one of Smrek or Robinson? Because I don't think we run a 6-2 this fall, one of Smrek, Robinson, Booth, or Crawford will sit. 3 of the 4 of those have shown the versatility to line up on the right side. So we sub out front row Fuebringer + whoever is currently in the back row (may be an Opp or may be a DS), send in Anderson + whichever of those 4 from the bench. Strong serve, strong block, three front row options in transition.

I've decided that Wisconsin needs to run a two-setter offense, if for no other reason than the pair would be "Charlie and Carly".
I mean, c'mon! It sounds like a zany Nickelodeon sitcom. Who wouldn't watch that?

Who wouldn't watch that? One of those two is going to get a nickname realquick so that the players can tell whose name is being shouted on the floor.

I find this setter discussion all so amusing. Have any of you watched any Montana matches? This was a losing team all the time Anderson was there. Have you watched any of last night’s tape? This is comparing gold to lead. Sorry
I am a Nebraska fan… I (and every coach in the B1G) urge Wisconsin to operate their offense using a 6-2. . . Or better yet, just play Anderson and let Fuerbringer watch this year.
All kidding aside, Fuerbringer is an elite talent-and has been for four years… Fuerbringer will be the clear starter in a 5-1 within ten minutes of her first Wisconsin practice…
Should be good….

It has to do with finding a way to keep Devyn and Smrek and Booth and CC Crawford all on the floor.

Ok, let’s go with that, but you can’t run a 6-2 with a low grade mediocre setter and an elite setter. There is zero probability that Sheffy does that… but by all means, do it. .. the rest of the B1G will be grateful… jmho, but if Sheffield runs a 6-2 next fall, Fuerbringer will be in the portal back to SoCal so fast all of your heads will spin. I also imagine USC would be grateful… 🏐

Strong serve, strong block, three front row options in transition. I like CC, but she's barely terminal from the middle, and not at all terminal on the right. Taking a few swings from the right in certain rotations is VERY different from being dependent to score as a RS hitter. There's no way we can win with her taking swings from the right as part of a double sub, because those swings are going to be transition opportunities for the other team.
