@JonAriasRadio@KellyPSheffield Carter has visibly been animated when she’s fired up. How can a younger player learn from Carter that will to win mentality? Is there anyone she’s mentoring on the team?
@JonAriasRadio@KellyPSheffield Typically when you think of a big block you think of someone like Smrek. But you have been going to a 5’10” player who jumps out of the building. Talk about why she has been your choice late in matches to provide a block
@JonAriasRadio@KellyPSheffield How does Sheff advise his players where to play after UW with the options that may be available now? LOVB, MLV, overseas, etc. Does he or other coaching staff help the player evaluate potential opportunities?
@JonAriasRadio@ESPNMadison@620wtmj@ESPNbd Last year, we lost a significant amount of contributors (everyone but Booth/Charlie). We are losing 3 significant contributors after this season (Booth/Andrew/Mimi). Somehow Sheff keeps it rolling each year
@JonAriasRadio@KellyPSheffield The tournament is only a few weeks away. You have had to overcome a lot of injuries which has forced freshmen to play more than maybe expected. Does the lack of reps with your core together hurt you right now or does the bench getting so many opportunities become a strength?
@JonAriasRadio@KellyPSheffield What does the Chef Sheff want to “cook up” the rest of the season? Aside from Ws/Ls, what do you want to see from your team as it plays out the rest of the schedule and gets ready for the tournament?
@JonAriasRadio@KellyPSheffield In the 3rd set, BTN showed video of Charlie in setting in pregame. Have you set milestones for her recovery? You eased Egan back into the lineup earlier. Would you foresee easing Charlie (if able to play) back into the lineup and running a 6-2? Or 5-1 w/Horner front row setting?
@JonAriasRadio@KellyPSheffield Question: Libero is a position of demand and prestige. How do you recruit and maintain your roster when not everybody can be a libero? Warren looks great in her DS role & Simon is thriving as libero currently. Badgers also utilize Mimi, Egan, Una hitting out of backrow a lot.
@JonAriasRadio@KellyPSheffield Super interesting discussion on a previous episode about what Sheff’s plans were for setter if Addy got hurt. If you haven’t heard yet go back and listen.
@JonAriasRadio@KellyPSheffield For the players who may not be seeing a lot of court time, are there any players who are making great progress in practice that can make contributions in the future for UW?
@JonAriasRadio@KellyPSheffield With Egan returning from injury, how do you see Quest being used going forward? She seemed to be making meaningful contributions at Opposite.
@JonAriasRadio@KellyPSheffield Sheff spoke about how hard it is to go into hostile environments in the Big 10 especially for freshmen. You had a great class come in, does recruiting from top high schools and clubs factor in to that thought?
