So warm-ups definitely weren't an indicator of how Carly was going to do last night to say the least... The first set was a little shaky, to be expected. After that... One of the reasons Sarah had a career high and Badger record in kills is because she was getting the best balls she's received from a setter since she came to Wisconsin. You knew when the set was put up Sarah was getting a kill. It was really beautiful. Yes some consistent well placed sets. Helps build the hitters confidence. Charlie is still working on that connection. Hopefully she was taking some notes.

I am all-in on this 6-0 offense being the next off the wall Sheffield thing that works…… like having a MB be your leading scorer for 5 seasons, or making an average OH into a “back row specialist” and have her hit .450 for half a season. It fits the needs of this team for slow high sets, and the new rules let you slop the ball around on your side of the net all you want with no penalty. You could run it multiple rotations, just keep feeding Dev & Anna into the front row. It’s really just like running a beach offense with 6’s. Brilliant! I was impressed with the number of subs Sheffield dedicated to it. Apparently he is bored with having only one spot in the rotation with a substitution, so in a couple of instances he actually subbed Carly in and out with either Dev or CC on each rotation when Carly was in the front row (Carly was out when we were serving, in when we were receiving) for a total of 6 subs for that one spot, one time through the rotation. One thing you can absolutely say about Kelly Sheffield is that he is going to use those 15 subs somehow. Hah! I had a similar thought watching all those subs

The foremost experts on Wisconsin volleyball, all on this forum, have assured me that Carly Anderson is a terrible setter, so I am not going to get gaslit by your "truth" and "observation-based" 'facts' that you put forth.

How awesome is it to have a backup setter who was a stud at a different school come in and ooops set Sarah, a TOTAL BOSS, her best hitting night of her career? It is awesome to be a fan of Wisconsin volleyball.

I think it's a minority of voices who have been over worried about Carly. She did well in this match.
Badgers can be way better. Not even close to touching their ceiling yet.

Sigh...
Randomly, TikTok just showed me a video posted today by Smrek of her sitting in a UW medical facility making a face and then showing her knee with what looks like a small incision. Not enough to be arthroscopy (from personal experience), so my wild ass guess is maybe having fluid drained from the knee?

A very loud, insistent, quick to judge and quick to denounce minority. Lol, if you want to call me out, then do that, don't try to beat around the bush. Carly did well enough sure, but how much was it Carly doing well, and how much was it Franklin literally destroying everything in her path? Because CC and GG set Frank to 5 kills in the best Badgers' run of the season of 10-0, winning the set with the biggest margin without even a setter. Even in the 1st set when Carly's sets were completely off, Frank had 5 kills hitting .400+. It was more of a case of a great player elevating her game and due for one considering she was hitting .220 or something like that. Our passing was so off last night, most of the time it was just fling to the left and pray. So yeah, I'm wrong that we were going to lose with Carly, but it was because I forgot we have the best/2nd best pin in the nation who can take over games if needed to, and she did so last night.

Still won’t give a single compliment to Carly. Folks this is what we call preconceived bias.

Carly is a great stop gap option and her experience was crucial as the team missed Charlie through injury. Carly accepted that transferring to a top contending NCAA team will mean less playing time for a generational talent in Charlie as opposed to playing for a non contending NCAA team BUT being the main setter who gets a lot of playing time in a weaker team which has helped her gain experience to be able to set in a contending team.
Sarah back to beast form and Anna seems to have gotten over that ankle injury which restricted her playing time. Passing and serving/serve receiving still needs work if the team is gonna win the championship but there's still time to go assuming Sarah doesn't get injured again and the rest of the team is fit and firing by finals.

Why would I call you out when you are more than willing to do so yourself? And hilariously so, by being unable to resist not only bashing her but half the team in your need to justify your own previous statements.
