Audrey will realize that she had better opportunities in CA And Halle will realize she should have visited Wisconsin before committing. I don’t see her as the Wisconsin type. |

x.com/VBAdrenaline/status/1806880276707991825VB adrenaline just released their early TOP 10 College Recruiting class rankings. Does anyone have access as a subscriber to what the top 10 currently is my guesses are 1.Pitt 2.Texas 3. UCLA 4. Wisconsin 5.Louisville 6.USC 7. Indiana 8. Nebraska 9.Kentucky 10. Creighton

These kids have been at the top of their respective clubs. They don’t know until they are actually at the school of their choice what playing or not playing looks like. I don’t think any of them sign with the intent they aren’t going to play. I can't help but think about how Halle Thompson and Audrey Flanagan, the 2026 Wisconsin outside hitter commits, will react in two years when at least one of them will witness the reality of not being on the court much They're both talented athletes, but unfortunately, not everyone gets to play. They have 2025 Madison Quest who is far better than both of them, and there might even be a transfer or two in the mix between now and then. Did they consider all of this? Or are they simply chasing ’fame’? Did Sheffield tell them what their role would be on the team? Do they have egos thinking they’re the best and it won’t be a problem? I don’t know how it will work. I don’t want to speculate,but not visiting and committing says a lot about what’s important to those involved in making those decisions. |

This is still a free country with free speech, although in far too many cases that is unfortunate. However, I’ve mentioned this before, the ridiculous number of early commitments, before prospects can talk face to face with coaches, players, or administrators; and truly experience an official visit is a result of two things - greedy and selfish coaches and the ugliness of social media. It is reasonable for legacies of a university - or homegrown athletes to decide early providing they have been to camps, matches, and many trips to the campus with their families. The pressure being applied by the coaches of highly successful programs and the websites making money by pushing for more early commits is disheartening. As a long-time club coach, this is causing incredible stress for the young people involved. No commitments should be made until after Aug. 1 - or move visits up to June 15.

I can’t help but think of several Badgers who had injuries derail their ability to see the court at Wisconsin (Wrobel, Gregorski, Gorum, etc). There’s a lot that could play out between now and 2026, unless you have a crystal ball. Do you have a crystal ball? |

Those VT posts are very false |

I find it quite amusing when people bring up travel. I compared their schedules for the upcoming season with my daughter's club team, and it turns out her club team travels more and misses more days of school than those two schools will. |

Audrey will realize that she had better opportunities in CA Where though? If you mean Stanford, I don’t think Julia Blyashov played a single minute of her freshman year. A shame for talent like that to sit on the sidelines. |

There’s a lot that could play out between now and 2026, unless you have a crystal ball. Do you have a crystal ball? Do you happen to have a crystal ball? The truth is, it's unlikely that every outside hitter in that program, except those two, will be injured. I've also seen and heard that the 2027 class joining right after them will be far more talented. And like I said, there is Quest who is better than both of them combined plus Sheffield likes his transfers..…Putting all that together, chances are, either Halle or Audrey will end up riding the bench. |

A shame for talent like that to sit on the sidelines. If it were my daughter, I would have pushed for USC. They already have commitments from Favor, Livings, Messer, and Mullen for 2025- the best of the best, and she could have made a great pair with 2026 Ostevar, the Maxpreps Soph National POY. Plus, let's be real, a USC education will be way more prestigious and valued in her hometown compared to a degree from Wisconsin. |

Plus, let's be real, a USC education will be way more prestigious and valued in her hometown compared to a degree from Wisconsin. USC will have Loper, Livings, and now Ostovar in 2026. Do you have a crystal ball? Else how are you guaranteeing she's going to be starting there instead of on the bench?. And this is assuming Malloy wouldn't have committed if USC had gotten Audrey instead. If you're a top recruit and you're scared of competition, then don't commit to a top program, plenty of other less prominent programs where your starting job will be guaranteed. |

I don’t want to speculate, but not visiting and committing says a lot about what’s important to those involved in making those decisions. I’ll speculate. They think, “It’s important that I go to a school that’s awesome in volleyball and pretty much everything else that colleges do, and Wisconsin is one of those few schools, so I don’t need to spend anymore time deciding and possibly have my offer by accepted by someone else.” |

They think, “It’s important that I go to a school that’s awesome in volleyball and pretty much everything else that colleges do, and Wisconsin is one of those few schools, so I don’t need to spend anymore time deciding and possibly have my offer by accepted by someone else.” I could have agreed with you if you were talking about Texas. But let's be real, besides volleyball, it's hard to see what Wisconsin and Nebraska really bring to the table compared to other schools and regions. I mean, let's face it, those places aren't exactly at the top of a teenager's dream list, unless volleyball is involved, and that is short lived. Which brings us back to the original question- why are they committing before visiting? |
