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. Just hurry up and do it already! 😀

With Wrobel gone, we need another OH. Otherwise, it's Julia, a freshman backup who reports say needs a bit of seasoning, and a libero situation which is uncertain - the honest truth is that we have no idea if anyone is going to be able to play, and play well, other than GG who is a known quantity but has shown herself liable to passing struggles. Meanwhile, we'd be auditioning people who have never passed in serious competition for our backup OH position and no matter how well they acquit themselves on the right side or in the middle there's zero guarantee that any of them can pass at all. Better to have Landfair, who passes decently but not well, terminates the lights out of the ball, and whose off year leaves plenty of uncertainty but can be partially attributed to the general struggles at Minnesota.
So yeah, I really want Landfair. And frankly, I really don't want Nebraska to have her.

I know I’m not the only person who picked TLs Instagram as the first tab to visit this holiday morning. But for those who did not, no news yet.

The fact that Kelly hasn't announced a bingo yet is odd as well. If you’re talking about a Christmas bingo, it’s still early. If you’re talking in general, well, she gets to make her decision on her own timeframe. Maybe we’ll get a Boxing Day bingo. Maybe a NYE bingo. Maybe she goes to Nebraska. Who knows.

Ella Wrobel seems to have gotten over her back issues and was seen training and was in uniform late in the season. If her back issues doesn't flare up again then she'll have a great career wherever she goes. With TTA finished, the OH2 is up for grabs, it would be a no brainer to have Ella take that OH2 spot assuming Julia stays at Libero. Ella would have to work hard throughout winter, spring and summer on her craft from passing, defending and hitting after recovering from her back issues even if it means sacrificing some personal free time. If the coaches made it clear to her that she was gonna be the OH2 next year then there's a very strong chance never enters the portal and stays.
However the coaches must of told her that there's a very likely chance that an OH transfer from the portal who's more terminal than Julia will be coming (maybe Landfair) to replace TTA for that OH2 spot and that Ella will be depth who will only play if one of the OH gets injured or is unavailable. Ella likely wants playing time and the coaches sees her as depth and with a OH inevitably coming, she knows for sure she won't get the playing time she wants hence why she's entered the portal.
Landfair though, apparently she wants to be a 6 rotation OH. If Landfair wants to be a 6 rotation OH but in reality will play 3 rotations at Wisconsin, then she can put a line through the Badgers, the same can be said about Nebraska where she may play an even lesser role then she would then if she joined Wisconsin. If she wants to play 6ro then she should stay. I think its more if she wants a fresh start and more playing at a contending B1g team. But it would depend if that team needs an OH and if her new coaches highly rates her.

Did Wrobel ever play left side at UW? Or was her playing time entirely as an opposite? I don't recall her ever playing on the left.

Can't imagine them telling Ella she would definitely be a backup. I wish I could remember what game it was, it was one of the Regional games, and it was a 3rd set. There was a timeout and Dildine and Wrobel were at the end of the bench in a conversation for most of the timeout. I thought at the time Ella might be going in. Sure wish I knew what that conversation was about, since she's now in the portal. 😀

Shouldn’t the Landfair announcement be out by now?
