I mean, is she even 'after' Wisconsin? Seems weird they'd go after Landfair, miss out, and then express desires to go to the portal for 1-2 players, only to not pursue a talented OH. Is there something we don't know, lol?
I am going to go out on a limb here and say that Acevedo will be offered a scholly for a year. I don't think she is good enough to play 6 ro's but I think Kelly will sell her on the potential of winning the starting job ..... until Julia takes off her L jersey in the fall. Plus he really needs a backup bench player for the OH so either way it is a win for the program. She is coming from Oregon and will probably think she hit the jackpot and improved her program. While she won't be happy about not winning the starting job this fall, it will be 2025 before she realizes that the in-coming class (plus one or two transfers will arrive via the portal) which will provide every bit the competition that Oregon had for her this year. But young players don't think that far ahead so I think she will be a Badger in the fall. I mean who else is out there that has a hope of playing at the Wisc level? Honestly if you look at who she is following Wisc will have less competition at OH than ASU or MN or Baylor in 2024. So for 1 year, she'll be sitting pretty. Just a guess! Baylor might be a great option for her. Seems on the Baylor thread that Kendal Stowers is no longer on the roster, potentially medically retired from her concussion. Leaving only 2 outsides for Baylor, not sure what they have for recruits

The first objective for the Badgers is to find an OH for 2024, which should be an extra special year. For that, a graduate student is best suited. I believe Paula Gursching is still available? Then I can imagine Acevedo being considered, even as a second, additional transfer. But I find it hard to believe Acevedo would accept a 1 year scholarship with 4 years of eligibility remaining. If it got down to that, simply no deal would be done. If we’re thinking about 2025 and beyond, then you can always wait to see who is available in future portal seasons if you can’t find a match in the current one.

The other, simple scenario is the Badgers offer Acevedo a 4 year scholarship and she accepts it.

Lots of people talk about 1 year scholarships, but I believe the Big 10 agreed to guarantee scholarships until graduation. In other words, the only 1 year scholarship would be with 1 year remaining. Maybe it has changed, but I believe they started guaranteeing scholarships in 2014.

Either way, it's wild to see these folks talk about someone who was a likely starter at a program that went 4 sets with Wisconsin in the regional finals as if she's from the slums. Like BFFR. Acevedo isn't going anywhere she's not getting paid, scholarship or NIL.

Also, only one person has suggested 1 yr on this thread, and no one else agreed with them, so "these folks" is a bit of a stretch. I really doubt that Sheff would offer such a thing if he were interested. I presume he is interested if she had a visit, but she might want a clearer path to playing time. The ducks got to the regional final with Colyer, Lewis and Gonzales at the pins, not Acevedo. She's a bit of an unknown at this point.

She's a bit of an unknown at this point. That’s likely why she’s not coming here. If we wanted to go with an unknown, we could have stuck with Wrobel and in the incoming freshmen. Sheffield likely wants someone who has at least a year of playing experience.

Sheffield likely wants someone who has at least a year of playing experience. IIRC, Sheff said Ella had fallen behind due to injury and knew she wasn't likely to play ahead of Julia. She wanted to play and hit the portal. I don't think it was Sheff's decision to make. It's a shame. I think of what might have been if she had 2 healthy years in The Badger system and was ready to go this year.

My understanding from somebody who knows is that they are not interested in Acevedo. I'm inquiring as to if that has changed. If it has will report back.

I know we really want this done but I feel like the ol' R E L A X is the best strategy here. No one here predicted we'd pick up Carly Anderson and I think people are relatively pleased by the pickup. I feel like Sheffield is going to get it done and I'm not going to be overly concerned on how he does it until I find out what he did.

I'm actually just happy to leave it to the coaching staff. I only heard she was on a visit via this site. I don't know if that is true. I have not heard if an offer was made and I trust the coaches if it hasn't.
Feels like the transfer market has been much more active for the mid major teams than for the P4.

This is a new addition to College Volleyball Transfers. So, what if Sheff has the inside scoop from his foreign contracts, and GG is talking her up and, after all the hand wringing [including by me], she ends up being the newest Badger? You never know with Sheff: osubeavers.com/sports/womens-volleyball/roster/doga-diraz/9914

Was just watching the first set of the badgers game vs Nebraska on October 19, 2018 & Dana Rettke was making my jaw drop early on with her back row play. Boredom continues
