Kelly Sheffield discusses volleyball recruiting in transfer portal era
Wisconsin volleyball coach Kelly Sheffield talked about his philosophy with recruiting in the transfer portal era on signing day for the 2026 class.
The Wisconsin volleyball team faces a big test Wednesday, Nov. 19. But at least the Badgers will be facing it at home.
The 10th-ranked Badgers take on 11th-ranked Purdue at the UW Field House in Madison. The winner will hold second place in the Big Ten Conference alone — both teams are 13-3 in conference play, trailing No. 1 Nebraska, which is 16-0. Wisconsin is 20-4 overall; Purdue is 22-4.
It’s also an important match for both teams’ RPI rankings — Purdue is 10th and Wisconsin is 12th. In the NCAA Tournament, which starts Dec. 4, the top 16 teams will get to host first- and second-round matches.
