For something different than transfer rumors ... Who do we think will emerge as leaders of the 2024 team? I don't mean in terms of stats, but who does the team lean on to lead? I'd like to see Smrek and Robinson be more vocal leaders for the team. Sarah seems almost too nice. Orzol leads by example. CC is a quiet assassin but not so much a vocal leader. Carter is strong. They all have different skills. As an aside, at times I felt we could have used more on-court leadership in 2023, the last game being a good example. This Badgers team didn't seem to have a proper authoritive leader who can motivate the team. It would've certainly been handy against Texas (a gun backrow defender with good passing plus variable hitting would've been nice). The team during huddles looks towards Izzy and MJ who are our natural leaders but both of them seem passive and tend to be reactive rather than proactive. Sydney Hilley was a great captain and was very proactive whenever the team needed a boost which was crucial during the 2021 finals. Question is, who can be the leader of this Badgers team? Someone who's proactive and can motivate the team during huddles when the chips are down especially during finals. Naturally, Frank (if she continues with us), Smrek, Orzol, CC and Robinson would be our natural leaders since they're heading into their final year of eligibility but do they command authority and possess proactiveness as potential captains. Honestly, I don't see any of them having captaincy material, maybe Smrek according to a poster, went up to GG to comfort her and she apparently had that captaincy vibe while doing so. Robinson would also be a great candidate as well.

Kill N.I.L. and just give every student athlete $30k a year on top of scholarships. People's argument about this would be that, "The student-athlete already gets paid because they get a scholarship." Schollie isn't money in the pocket. Or give them $30k a year and combine with cap for N.I.L. for a total between the 2 of $50k a year. Or, just put a straight cap on N.I.L. at $50k a year. Right now players can be bought by big money donors and it's all legal. Final option would just be to make them pros and sign them to contracts (which what N.I.L. is really turning into, just with donors paying their salaries.) NIL was born because forever universities were selling the fame of their student athletes and profiting from it. The athletes deserve to earn profits that they generate due to the use of their name, image, and likeness. Any caps on NIL would essentially say sorry, but you are not able to earn whatever your persona can generate once again, and would likely be illegal. I understand why N.I.L. was born. I don't need that explained to me. Whatever the case, it needs regulation. Otherwise, just make the National Collegiate Professional Volleyball {or insert other sport here} Players Association, pay them salaries, and be done with it. It's not making collegiate athletics better, and needs tighter regulation. Big donors are paying athletes under the guise of N.I.L. Athletes are quickly moving to, "I'm going to go where I can make the most money." A volleyball player after a game in Madison had a ~10 year old girl come up to her and ask for her to sign a card she had of the player. The player looked at the card and said, "Sorry, I'm not allowed to sign that," because she had an exclusive deal with another company. The little girl was crushed, and just walked away. Awesome...

Although she Orzol maybe the Badgers glue girl but I don't know if she has the ability to be proactive and motivate the team vocally. She also seems pretty quiet and passive, only showing by her actions which is only a part of being a great captain.

Charlie is the co-captain(Sheffield's rules #1). Who is the 2nd? My bet is on Orzol.

I clearly recall that teammates wanted Syd to be captain her freshman year but Sheff intervened because he didn’t want to put too much responsibility on her when she was adjusting to the college game.

If Landfair picks Wisconsin, I hope she announces on Christmas just like Booth did last year. People were all up in arms about it being on Christmas day lol.

As much as I want Smrek to get it, I doubt she is outspoken enough to be a captain.

I might have exaggerated a little, but Sheff had his setters be captains in 10 of 11 years I believe.

My guess for captains would be Devyn & Orzol. Maybe Devyn & Sarah
