334 Division 1 volleyball teams and there's a Top 15 recruit to roll the dice with? Yes, someone is giving her a two or three years scholarship. Yea she will get picked up on scholarship for sure. Probably not by one of the 6 to 8 top teams but I could see a team in that next tier taking a chance on her with 3 years left if her medical stuff checks out. And if the medical stuff doesn't work out? Is the scholarship guaranteed regardless, whether she plays or 'medically retires'? And would the (last) two years on scholarship at UW have been guaranteed regardless? I hope it all works out and she goes somewhere and kills it. It just feels to me like "two in the hand vs three in the bush".

I'd be really surprised to see CC leave. Devyn is one I'm worried about. She has been here since 2019. Everyone she came in with is gone. She might be ready for a change to go pro or 1 year with another program for something different. I really hope not. That would be a huge loss. and as vbdiva said, that would really hurt. “The portal giveth… and the portal taketh away.” - Forrest Gump (I think)

My guess is that the back injury has recovered with her being out all year, and she'll be ready to go at a new school.

It just feels to me like "two in the hand vs three in the bush". She's most definitely getting a scholarship somewhere; if she wants to, there are definitely Power 5 schools that will take her. She was the #11 recruit overall in her class, most Power 5 programs don't get those kinds of recruits. If she medically retires, the scholarship is given back to the school but she will still get the rest of her schollie money if I remember correctly from the NCAA manual. Plus, I would assume she'd have to pass some sort of physical before a school takes her, so I don't really understand where all this concern is coming from.

I truthfully have no idea - definitely was under the impression she only had one year at K-State.

Gophers thread says Wrobel follows , interesting. That’s not accurate lol (her following, not what is said in the thread) I think at one point she may have been, but she isn’t right now.

I truthfully have no idea - definitely was under the impression she only had one year at K-State. I ran into her last spring; she was heading into the Field House to practice for the spring matches, and I was coming out of the Shell after running, etc. (And we went to the same high school - MANY years apart - so I've used that a couple times to strike up conversation with her). She told me that day that she has gotten her medical hardship approved and would have two years eligibility at K State. So one more for her there.

If certain BINGO's commit this week... tears will happen, and I'm not happy about it... One for sure will really hurt (one bingo likely tbd next 48-72 hours)

I think Dev has a good chance at getting significant playing time back at MB. So I don't know why she would enter the portal other then if she thinks going elsewhere is gonna help develop her game for the Pros more then playing at Wisconsin would.

Makes me happy she's got one more year

One for sure will really hurt (one bingo likely tbd next 48-72 hours) I’m holding out hope that the one who “will really hurt” is the players on the other team, ie if Landfair comes here. I could see Gopher fans crying out in agony over losing yet another player to the Badgers.

I truthfully have no idea - definitely was under the impression she only had one year at K-State. I'm pretty sure she does. She had 4 years at WI, one was a redshirt year (2019), and she has a COVID year, so she's only used 4 of her 5 years of eligibility.
