You are so optimistic that no one will transfer out in search of greener pastures. Injuries and transfer absolutely did cross my mind when posting the OG, but the future hasn’t arrived yet, so why worry about it now? “If you are depressed you are living in the past. If you are anxious you are living in the future. If you are at peace you are living in the present” Lao Tzu I agree. High liklihood she doesn't need to play but in the advent a possible injury occurs, she's the break here for fire extinguisher scenario. Just as easy then not to take a redshirt. If she has got pro ambitions maybe that changes things.

Burly posted this on the Harper Murray DUI thread. He (?) is displaying his true colors:
"Why are you reposting the same thing multiple times? Are you mental?" What is your issue? Someone posted a wall of text 4 or 5 times of tbe same thing and I asked why they were doing it? Why are you bringing that up here? Well Burly, you also asked the poster "Are you mental?". I wondered about the use of that descriptor in a thread that essentially revolves around the mental health of a student athlete.
More to the point, when I consider your use of that term in combination with your fixation on Lady Badgers, I conclude that you are operating on a 5th grade level and should not be taken seriously. It's liberating and I want you to know how happy I am to be free of you.

Here’s some recent film 2025 Recruits Madison Quest, 6-3 OH - Pewaukee, WI - Divine Savior Holy Angels HS / Milwaukee Sting www.hudl.com/v/2Q1EmBNatalie Wardlow, 6-4 MB - Lincoln, NE - Lincoln Southeast HS / Nebraska ONE www.hudl.com/v/2Q2WgcAddison Horner, 6-3 S/RS - Wheaton, IL - Wheaton St. Francis HS / 1st Alliance www.hudl.com/v/2PScTNKristen Simon, 5-7 DS - Louisville, KY - Assumption HS / KIVA www.hudl.com/v/2Q1ZsC2026 Recruits Kymora Scott, 6-2 MB/RS - Richton Park, IL - Homewood-Flossmore HS / Xtreme Performance www.hudl.com/v/2Q1QpaHalle Thompson, 6-1 OH - Spring, TX - Grand Oaks HS / Houston Skyline www.hudl.com/v/2PSXwLAudrey Flanagan, 6-3 OH - Redondo Beach, CA - Mira Costa HS / SCVC www.hudl.com/v/2Q15LqLynney Tarnow, 6-5 MB - Downer's Grove, IL - Benet Academy / 1st Alliance www.hudl.com/v/2Q1H7ZI’ll bite. Most intriguing 2025 to me is Horner (knowing what we already about Quest, Simon, and Wardlow). She played for a top club and seems to have a nice swing. Assuming Charlie has setter locked up, I can see Horner getting playing time, but if a terminal OPP either enters the portal or comes internationally then I guess that changes things.

It’s already happened before, so likely to happen again.

Yes with Orzol and Franklin leaving after this season the Badgers will have a compelling interest in bringing one of the top pins from the portal to Madison. We'll only have Una and TSC and a few freshmen. OPP would likely be desired through portal as well. Dev and Anna both gone.

I think we need one more pin, be it on the right or the left, or else we'll have the same amount of pins as this season...which...we've already seen how many problems it can cause. Sheff was actively recruiting hard too, for Davis/Spears. With Frank, Orzol, Smrek, CC, and DRob gone, that'll open up 5 schollies, and we only have 4 coming in, meaning we should have 1 left, without even mentioning the possibility of scholarship expansion coming. Someone like Emmi Sellman who has tons of potential as arguably the most talented OH of her class, does she want to be stuck on an Ohio St team most likely floundering next season (even worse than they are now) with Londot and Rader gone? I don't know, but Sheff needs to find someone, I don't want a repeat of this year happening.

Historically, our transfer portal track record is great, but losing out on Taylor Landfair taught us not to get our hopes up and put all our eggs in one basket. I wonder if she ever thinks about us… and what it would have been like to wear badger red and white. lol What did you think of Horner’s highlights? She has beautiful hands. It seems somewhat possible we run a 6-2 w/ Charlie & Horner. It all comes down to how the talent shakes out

While true, I am very high on Madison Quest and can't wait to see her in Badger red. Based on comments I have seen from her, she wants to be an OH with a lot of shots. Plus, she is a winner, her team has won back to back Wisconsin State Championships with Quest being the go to player...and hitting the match winning shot in both state final matches.

They could be co setters/RS players. Both of them attacked and set in High School....Charlies beach career gave her a lot of reps as an attacker. Charlie could be the main setter, but on balls that Charlie has to dig, Horner could set the ball and Charlie could transition to the RS as a hitting option. It would really confuse the defense. I am sure I am thinking about this too much, though. ;P

I am sure I am thinking about this too much, though. ;P If we didn’t let Sydney Hilley hit, there is zero chance we are doing it with Charlie or any other recruit. Hilley was the POY in Minnesota as an OH. Her setter in HS was literally Izzy. That would have been perfect opportunity to run a 6-2 with Hilley as a hitter in front row and we never did it.

As of now we only have 14 players on the 2025 roster, with 4 players committed to 2026. So it stands to reason we’ll look to get 2 grad transfers for 2025, probably at OH and RS. Anyway back to 2024 and the championship campaign!
