I thought that was just the last day to enter, no? Is it? I was going off other comments, but it does seem a narrow time window to complete a transfer. Is there a deadline for completing transfers? That acknowledged, I haven't heard of a lot of names entering the portal that would obviously compete for a starting position at OH, or be able to sub effectively at OH if a starter had to take time off. That to me is the priority because of how this the badgers are at that position. there definitely is a deadline, but it’s not tomorrow. I can’t remember off the top of my head when it is, but it’s sometime during the summer

She will be a junior, 2 year starter, 6'3", took the second most swings last year, .173 hitter, doesn't appear to play all they way around. Basically size and experience, probably be a little better at a minimum with a better team.

You can’t get two medical redshirt years. You only get one redshirt year. Period. Players can apply through their school to the NCAA for a 6th year after their eligibility is finished. But that’s different than a redshirt. Medical redshirts are handled by the Big Ten conference offices and are generally cut and dried. I don’t know what the differences are between VB and FB/BB, but generally you petition for a 6th year medical hardship at the end of your career. If they approve it, you get an extra year. If they don’t, you’re done playing. That said, there’s a D1 football player who is coming back for his NINTH season of college FB, after starting in 2026 and having at least 2 seasons of medical hardship plus his COVID year. Dude is going to play his final season, then start collecting on Social Security. 🤣 How old is he and how many degrees does he have? 🤣

Famous last words, but I don’t see that happening. The Badgers are looking for a 1 year rental of an experienced OH (a grad transfer), while Acevedo will be a RS freshman with no collegiate playing experience. I think you're probably right about a RS freshman, not sure he wants a 1 year rental. As far as I know, this was the first and last thing Sheff had to say about the 5/1-5/15 Portal:
Punzel to the rescue with a bone for information-hungry fans
"Sheffield would like to add two more players to that mix after the transfer portal reopens for two weeks on May 1:
“We absolutely will be bringing in at least one more person through the portal,” Sheffield said. “What that is, we don’t know. We have one scholarship and we absolutely are hoping to use that. That is the plan. Ideally, we would like two attackers, whether that’s a left and a right or a left and a middle. That’s one of the advantages of our big kids being capable of playing multiple positions.”
As it is, Wisconsin will have just three outsides — Franklin, Orzol and Shadd-Ceres.
I feel like we’re in as good a position with those three as anyone in the country,” Sheffield said. “But I’d feel a whole lot better if it was more than just three. We’ve had years where we’ve had five. And it’s an incredible opportunity because two of those are graduating after this year and one of those was our libero. So is it possible to break into the lineup this year? Yeah. Does it give them an advantage for the year after to break into the lineup? Yeah. That’s a position we would like to add a little bit more." Great reminder, it could be more than one.

It will also bring excitement around the program by associating LOVB Madison with the Badgers. I actually think the LOVB coaches in general are a better group than the PVF - I mean Massimo Barbolini alone, that's a huge name, and the others are mostly better. The only question for Madison is whether Matt F can adjust to coaching the women's game well, but I bet Lauren Carlini is happy to work with him. Well I mean he is the co founder and coach of Charlie Fuerbringer’s club team so it’s not like coaching the women’s game is necessarily new to him So he's coached high school club and professional men's (not sure what else he's done). I guess that probably combines to be something good? I like the hire - I'm just saying it doesn't come without questions. But considering the situation, few of them do. Considering his overall pedigree and the fact that LOVB Madison is probably unable to hire Matt F without Charlie coming to Madison first, I think that it's a steal.

Sounds like they're going to have to go with Julia at OH2 or depend on the raw Freshmen Shadd-Ceres unless something changes from what I've been told.

Do you have actual information from a knowledgeable Badger insider who says in essence "We went after some players, couldn't get them and we're giving up"?
Or, is it similar to "Taylor Landfair is going to be a Badger"?
Or, is it:
He's tellin' me more and more About some useless information Supposed to fire my imagination ... [Jagger and Richards]

Last day to renew my Badger Volleyball Season Tickets. Just got a phone call from the ticket office to remind me. Still haven’t decided to renew. Last year $290 this year $620! Crappy preseason games and when NCAA Tourney comes around we get bounced out of our seats. NOT a happy Badger Season Ticket Holder!

I pulled the trigger and bought them after my daughters decided they wanted them. Two minutes after ordering I get a message from Chris Macintosh thanking for my donation. It wasn’t by choice it was mandatory to renew.

It wasn’t by choice it was mandatory to renew. Glad they didn’t lose you and your daughters, despite trying very hard. That email has “become reverend mother or become useless and we return your water to the well” vibes.
