Oh %*$#...when it rains, it pours. This is incredible. [Did anyone's head explode yet?] Mine exploded yesterday when I tested positive for COVID. What was leftover exploded today. Go Badgers, and I hope I live to see the 2026 season. Sorry to hear that. Stay in bed / inside and get better by watching new recruit tape(s)

Not to be a greedy freako, but we know Sheff expressed the potential for 2 OHs, 2 MBs, and a RS. Do we think Hickman or Watson (as a RS) are still on the board? I feel like the rest of the top 26ers might be taking their time.
I'm assuming Nebraska would be interested in Watson unless the rumors about JJ Robinson are true.

so 2026/27 will have for OHs TSC as a junior/senior Vagajic as a RS sophomore/Junior Quest as a Sophomore/Junior Flanagan as a freshman/Sophomore Thompson as a frehsman/Sophomore so 3 highly ranked americans and 2 foreign studs for 2 spots. Have to think 1-2 will be pushed to opp with no true OPP on the team (I know Scott and horner play it but seems to be a secondary position for both). who do you think would be most likely to be moved over? The vibe I get is all 5 are pretty good passers/back row (I could be wrong) I think Horner is mainly an OPP & setter is more so her second position.

I'm pretty sure I've read Punzel's article that states she's first a setter but is more than willing to play oppo. She played setter at both our camps and the NTDP camp. Edit: Yup, here's the article that states what I said: badgerextra.com/sports/volleyball/wisconsin-volleyball-addy-horner/article_621ba6c2-a67d-11ee-9694-6bdcb5a90a33.html

I swear I read somewhere that she would mainly play OPP for the Badgers, still training at setter but behind Charlie & Morgan. Maybe it was just on these threads that I read that

Maybe it was just on these threads that I read that I mean well yeah, she's penciled in as the starting oppo right now for next year considering we have no recruits there right now. But it doesn't change the fact that at our camps and the NTDP camps, basically the high-level camps, she's been playing setter.

I’d say then our last 2026 scholarship is open for any of the remaining OPPs or maybe Sheff goes international

Even if Horner trains there we probably need a 1-yr transfer opposite for 2025 anyway, and if we’re unable to land a 26’ we can be open to taking a longer term option in the portal this winter.

LFG! Thompson is tied with Charlie Fuerbringer as the second highest rated recruit in program history! The ratings that count are when they are seniors heading into the program. I've seen these shift around a lot over the last two years of a player's career, so we'll see (Rettke for instance). Obviously, I expect Scott to get on a ranking list sometime in the future. Also, I don't trust a lot of the ratings these days compared to the old days when Tawa was doing proper background.
