The Wisconsin Badgers’ volleyball team launches their spring season Friday, taking on Marquette at Oconomowoc High School at 7:30 PM CT. The team fell short of defending their National Title from 2021 in the fall, losing to Pittsburgh in the Elite Eight.

With star players like Devyn Robinson, Anna Smrek and Sarah Franklin back on the court together again this spring, the Badgers remain one of the most dominant teams in the country.

On top of the fact that the Badgers are returning 12 letters winners, five starters and a libero from last year, they have some impressive newcomers. Minnesota transfer Carter Booth (6-foot-7) joins Wisconsin after making the Big Ten All-Freshman team in 2022 as well as incoming freshman Saige Damrow from Howards Grove, Wisconsin, who won four high school state championships.

Paul Chryst has doubts about playing spring football

In his interview today with Big Ten Network, Paul Chryst spoke about his reaction to the postponement of the fall sports season and gave his thoughts about possibly playing in the spring.

Chryst stated that he has “some concerns” about playing football in the spring, and cited his doubts about the practicality of having two seasons in one year. He then pivoted to the point that the team will be focusing on what they can control going into the fall, and stated that the team will make the most of their new offseason within the guidelines set by the Big Ten.

It is refreshing to hear Paul Chryst speaking positively about what his team wants to do in the fall when there is so much pessimism surrounding college football right now. Time will tell if the Big Ten does play in the spring, but judging from the words of Chryst and other Big Ten coaches, a spring season seems very impractical.
