Flanagan was UNSTOPPABLE! She deserves to be top 3 in the class. Definitely the X-factor for team USA. Halle Thompson played in the 3rd. You could tell she was a bit nervous (sets weren’t perfect) when she had a couple errors but then settled in with a couple kills.

I don't really care where Flanagan is ranked in this class, it's not going to change what type of collegiate player she'll eventually be, but saying she was the "x-factor" for team USA just seems hyperbolic, to the point of ridiculousness. The scores were -8, -11, and -21....anyone that knows anything about volleyball knows that the you don't get set scores like that by having one player being an "x-factor" unless said player was serving 20 aces. The only x-factor for team USA today was the fact that Cuba was vastly overmatched in all aspects of the game.

Apparently you haven't seen Paola-Isabelle Flanagan play then if you're dissing her ability to impact a game through her serve.
Historically, Wisconsin hasn’t held a Super Special “I Choose YOU, Pikachu” Magical Sparkle Pony Fantasy Camp the way that certain other teams do. Top prospects attend the same camps as everyone else. They did have a camp in early June for a bunch of 2026s they were looking at, but that’s the first time I’m aware of that they’ve ever done anything like that.
Their camps for players going into grades 8-12 were/are last Mon-Wed and this coming Tue-Thu. Over the weekend they had their camp for high school teams.

begging PLEADING for an EA NCAA Volleyball game. Unfortunately I don’t think this would happen which is very sad. I’d buy an entire console just to play a game of college volleyball that received the same amount of work & detail as other EA sports games.

EA College hoops? First thing Ima do is upgrade our talent level. Get rid of some of our slow footed bigs. But yes a volleyball version would be epic. I don't see that happening anytime soon.

I'd be interested to know if there will be any Scholarships open in 2027, assuming they will still be a thing. There will be a complete turnover over the next 2 years.

Maybe a setter?
With Vajagic and one DS presumably getting scholarships (my assumption is Simon) I currently count 12 for 2027. The one person coming off the roster is Damrow, and does anyone really understand how DS scholarship spots work? I kind of assume that part of the game is that players who graduate in December and leave behind an open scholarship, that scholarship goes to the next eligible DS for the spring semester, but no idea what has been done or promised in the Badger program. EDIT: Also no guarantee Damrow leaves, she won't be out of eligibility
That being said, it may not be possible for Sheffield to add anyone in 2027 during the early commitment window next June. But at some point, when either scholarship numbers get expanded or players choose to transfer out, I assume there will be scholarships available. The trick is to convince people to transfer in or commit after getting a banger of a 2026 class knowing that they have such a high bar to reach for getting playing time.

‘26 Badger recruits Audrey Flanagan and Halle Thompson are playing right now
Thompson didn't play much yesterday. How’d she do today?
Hey there Crossover, I turned it off a little bit ago. Not sure Halle will play today... Audrey however is going to be a killer, and plenty of swing options with a lethal back row attack
