Maybe I missed this. Did Nebraska sign or get a commitment from a setter yet for the '08 class? I had heard they were looking at some stud from Sports Performance but that was just on here.
Thanks!

You got it right.....they signed me, but after they looked at my age, my credit card jump, stone hands and turtle speed they gave me back my freedom. Estrella  |

It does not appear as if Nebraska has a schollie available in '08. Can any of the Husker faithful respond to that?

It does not appear as if SPVB has a schollie available in '08. SPVB offers scholarships? I didn't even realize SPVB was a school. |

Is it true that John Cook's daughter is a 2009 setter?

Yes, she's quite good but small for DI. Listed as 5'9 but not sure she's that.

Listed as 5'9 but not sure she's that. doesn't really matter if she can jump, move, set, and lead at a high level... we just finished with a " very generous 5'8" listed" setter that was a 3 time 1st team all-american and honda award winner and set the national record for assists per game. |

Man I love it when a coach can see the positives of athletic shorter setters. Some just can't see beyond a 5'8" label. Yes, she's quite good but small for DI. Listed as 5'9 but not sure she's that. doesn't really matter if she can jump, move, set, and lead at a high level... we just finished with a " very generous 5'8" listed" setter that was a 3 time 1st team all-american and honda award winner and set the national record for assists per game. |

But that system works for Washington. I don't see a 5'8 setter working in with Nebraska's system. A team that relies so heavily on their presense at the net needs a taller setter. Not to say that a 5’8 setter can’t be a good blocker or a 5’8 setter will be less of a blocker than 5’10 setter. But you are talking about very small percentage of 5’8 setters that will not be blocking liabilities against top teams. To go even further, Nebraska would need a setter to be a slightly better blocking setter than other teams would have. Washington has the back court defense that it used with its block so they didn’t need a strong blocking setter. Nebraska is probably better served with a taller setter who is at least a slightly above average blocker. |

Pedro you are correct. But I also agree with Roy, little Cook is not the proto type Nebraska setter given their system. She is a fierce competitor and very very confident. She'll do a great job for someone, just don't see her being a Husker unless a libero, she plays GREAT defense.

Okay, I'm sure this is a stupid question/thought and I'm sure Wolfgang will haze me for this, but oh well. With all the recruiting rules in regards to coaches contacting recruits, I'm sure there are special circumstances for recruits whose parents coach. But how does all that work? More specifically, let's say Cook's kid was a typical Nebraska setter and was being recruited by Nebraska. Doesn't that give Nebraska quite the advantage? I'm just curious how all this works. I apologize for not knowing, but I'm quite new to this world.  |

There are special rules if you have previous relationships before recruiting age and this would definitely be a previous relationship. Add to the fact that he has been helping to train her all his life and I don't think there would be any recruiting issues about it. However, as EOV pointed out, as good as she is, (I haven't seen her but others whose opinion I respect say she is VERY GOOD) she does not a Husker setter size.

They CAN'T mention walk-ons unless they are already registered and on campus. |

roy and eov - I guess I agree with you guys IF and only if Nebraska sticks with a 5-1... but if Nebraska reverts back to a 6-2(per some articles, that may be the case), does it really matter what height the setter is (given she jumps high enough on her jump sets to be a dump threat)?
