Who are the major OH's out there right now? Landfair and...? Rutherford's an Opposite... Could certainly use a backup setter from the portal. Maybe Kelly doesn't bring in OH with Shadd-Ceres and Quest coming in? four of Tennessee's OH and OH/OPP are in the portal. Bre Kelly from Oregon is in there, but rumors are she's almost signed with TCU. Pretty much everyone from Texas tech is in the portal... I feel like I'm missing somebody, but there you go.

TTA was amongst the ones who didn’t announce until early in 2023, IIRC.

What if he brings in a grad libero? I have zero knowledge of this, but that would be the other position that likely would cause consternation in the ranks. does he really need a libero? I understand that passing was the issue this past season but you guys have a lot of potential studs who could fill that role nicely. who? I really don't think Julia wants to be libero another year, just my opinion, GG is a great DS but wasn't Libero this year for a reason. Saige is coming back from injury, so she's missed some development this year, and then there's Lola the incoming freshman. If we believe that saige is ready to take the L Jersey, then we can have her and then GG in at DS.

TTA was amongst the ones who didn’t announce until early in 2023, IIRC. That is because she was a grad student, and didn't announce until after the first day of January semester. She wanted her scholarship for the last semester at NW, and then put her name in right after that. We will definitely see anybody who is not a grad transfer go into the portal before the 1st.

Her name was the first name on the portal tea thread from last year. She announced early. She was quick. TTA announced Feb 1, I believe. Booth was early and fast.

Does Liz have another year of eligibility?! 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. K-State has two stud outsides if Aliyah Carter is using her COVID year; the other, Aniya Clinton, is a freshman and looked really good at the end of last year.

That doesn’t even factor the possibility of either GG or Julia step in and take over that position. I feel like you have options.

She might have a better shot if Damrow and the Freshman can pass.

Oh I didn’t mean that, was just saying that it’s the possibility since she was holding herself well in that role.

I edited the original post to add the following: From badgerextra.com/sports/volleyball/wisconsin-volleyball-julia-orzol-libero-position/article_29359f38-6d3f-11ee-8ae1-ef393c0bd69f.html "While [Julia] still thinks of herself as an outside hitter — where she had been a fixture in the Wisconsin lineup ever since arriving in Madison from Poland just before the start of the 2021 season — she’s embraced the challenge of playing a new position." "While she still thinks of herself as an outside hitter — where she had been a fixture in the Wisconsin lineup ever since arriving in Madison from Poland just before the start of the 2021 season — she’s embraced the challenge of playing a new position." It's also mentioned in the article a third time that she thinks of herself as an outside hitter...

Can we just get to January so we can watch Lola and Charlie at the UA game?
