Copied from the article: Benet coach Brad Baker is thrilled for Tarnow. "We're excited," Baker said. "That's like committing to Alabama or Georgia for football. It's one thing to go to a school's camp and then play there, but to play (at Wisconsin) is way different right now. They're only recruiting the absolute best kids in the nation, so to be in that category is really, really special." Thanks... Wouldn't let me do it no matter which method I tried.

I kind of think that neither Lola and Maile will be ready to compete for the Libero shirt next year, and both of them plus Simon will be ready to compete for it in 2025, making that year a crazily competitive year for our back row players. Lola is trying to be ready and I think few outsiders really know about Maile, so I may be wrong on both counts. If Saige is healthy or either of them are ready for the shirt, then I think GG gets shifted to DS'ing for the opposite where they can move her into and out of the passing formation as needs dictate. Otherwise, a situation where GG has the shirt but a second libero (yes, those are coming) will be available for passing substitutions is a distinct possibility. It's also not outside the realm of possibility that Carly Anderson DS's for the opposite. That would open up some extra possibilities as well, as she would probably then become an alternate setter in some situations allowing Charlie to take some swings (remember, Fuerbringer played beach, so she can hit, and if you doubt it watch the UA All-Star game). Especially in rotation 6 when our M2 (non-slide specialist) is in there, we would have room for some creative plays where Fuerbringer lines up at opposite on the initial pass and Anderson sets. How is Carly's serve? As that's a very good point about her being the DS much like Izzy. Though I highly doubt seeing Charlie take swings when we never had Hilley take swings. Hilley was literaly POY in Minnesota as an OH with Izzy as her setter. If we weren't going to do it then, I don't see us doing that now. Carly had 3 or 4 aces in the Spring game. I didn't see it so I don't know if that's luck or her good serving but I did take that into account. Anyway, her experience and that serving (if it's more than luck) makes her a candidate if nothing else. You could also see her sub serving for a middle.

I wouldn't be surprised if Carly becomes a Izzy Ashburn style DS/serving specialist especially that if we go to a 5-1 now that we have Charlie. If she does play DS then if she gets second balls then they shouldn't be out of system.

Hickman next to Tarnow would be a monster block. indeed. I can’t read “monster block” without hearing that damn FIVB song in my head. I guess that means it’s good marketing, but I hate it that it’s in there, worming away.

I think they're corny as all hell, BUT they do garner really good fan engagement in the arena.

If Kelly could pick up Hickman yet for the 2026 class that would be a massive addition! A 6'5 lefty on the right side would really solidify the pins for many years to come! Sarah is an excellent talent and would love to see her as a Badger! If we get Hickman, I believe that solidifies our first ever program recruiting class #1 ranking! Damn. Some of you are talkin as though Wisconsin has become a major VB power now....

> but what sealed the deal was an impromptu tour of campus last Monday that Thompson saw through the lens of Sheffield's phone. 1) Awesome to get a new baby Badger especially one as highly recruited as Thompson. 2) Madison is beautiful in the summer, no doubt about it. but 3) I don't care if it's an iPhone 25, there's no way that phone does it justice.

That info would have come directly from the player. Maybe he misunderstood what she meant, or there was interest but Halle disuaded Texas from making an official offer. "Beat-out" can mean a number of things.
