Trying to figure out what setter would be good enough to fill in over Van Wie and be enticed to come to UW when they are almost assured of sitting on the bench all year. It'd not obvious to me that you could find someone that fits that profile. Maybe if you offered a scholarship to a grad student, but I'm not sure the badgers want to use a scholarship that way. They might have only one to give. Maybe 2 with Wrobel gone.
I'm still sad about Wrobel.

Luca Fickell would be fitting, but she ain’t in the portal That’s funny. I had thought about her too. I have no idea what kind or prospect she was out of hs. She may also be happy to be away and in her own as well. It’s not like she originally committed to Cincinnati.

If you're finally healthy enough to play, why wouldn't you want to play where you were recruited and decided to go and have a likely chance next season to finally play? She should've known all along she wasn't guaranteed. Is that what she wants, a guarantee?

Shes not coming here, but is there a setter in the portal in a similar situation to Kennedi Orr who has some experience and is behind another setter currently that would transfer elsewhere for a shot at a Big Ten title and maybe some playing time depending on how Charlie does (granted I think Charlie comes in and starts from day one)?

Guess we'll find out how strongly Sheffield feels about Van Wie as the backup setter with what happens with portal.

Jardine left before her and both #17's. Jardine was a combo of playing time and to go back home. Maybe she assumes since we brought TTA in last year that we may do so again. Coming off injury and not assured a rotation spot and compete against Orzol, Shad-Ceres, potential transfer.... Lot of uncertainty there so give yourself a chance at a clean slate where you may be the high profile incoming transfer, not warding one off..

I don't see spending a scholarship on someone that may not even see the floor in a 5-1. Personally I think we should bring a OH2 in via portal again to push Julia or win job outright and use scholarship on that.

This forum is mostly speculation and opinion. The beginning of your response is condescending at best. As I said to another earlier, if you don't like the post, or feel it's stupid, feel free to scroll on by. I scroll past most on here without replying. Probably some of yours.

The forum is exactly for speculating, people who are questioning others for doing so look like they are just negative, annoying people

The Badgers could use a left side in the portal, with Wrobel leaving, but they have already won recruiting with Robinson, Crawford, and Franklin!

I'm pretty happy with the team as is, but will abide whatever decision Sheffield thinks he has to make.

I would love it if Landfair chooses to be a Badger. If Sheff has offered her, that tells me she is willing to commit to the Wisconsin Way, and that the team wants her. That’s enough for me.
