Vbdolly, I can't speak for JCook but if I had to make a lineup with a 6-2 with all the same players that are currently in Nebraska's system, this is how I would go about it. We know that Anderson is good and has the senior leadershipt as does Licht, Mueller, and Banwarth. With the system, they have Morgan Broekhuis and Allison McNeal in the front row together and then in the second wave you have Licht and Delano. (I'm excluding the Hannah and Tara). I probably would have done the same lineup JCook did and this is why: I would put Anderson with McNeal and Broekhuis. You have a freshman and a sophomore. In a tight game situation, Anderson would know who to set and who could handle it. Licht and Delano are reliable. You can give them the ball and they can get the job done. IMO I would want a veteran setter helping bring along the younger hitters than I would want a younger setter. Anderson is able to distribute the ball and get the ball to the right people in tight situations and overall that would help McNeal and Broekhuis. Cook can go to either Delano and Licht in any situation and know that they have a good chance of scoring. But you will need better distribution with the younger players. My two cents worth. Orrr ... mini-Cook is pretty awsome at dishing to the RS from just about anywhere on the court so I want her setting Licht so that my best attacker gets set.

Haen and Zimmerman are both very good setters, but I am not even certain they are the best in the Big Ten. Who is then?

Well then, you must have really hated Julie Bremner when she played at Penn State. When the setter is coming from the back row, she has three attackers to set. There's no reason she can't be the third attacker when she is in the front row. Julie Bremner did not play at Penn State, Bonnie did, and yes, she attacked quite a bit. Julie went to Notre Dame, I think. UCLA?

If two setters grew up in the same vicinity, going head to head in HS, club, and college and one has the majority of the wins is she the better setter? You're comparing Haen and Zimmerman in HS/Club/College aren't you ...

I like an aggressive setter. One that knows when to be. Bremner was selective in her aggressive play. I don't think Zimmerman is. She's good enough that if the other team isn't looking for a dump it works but when teams are she's in trouble. A poster last year came up I believe it was 8 matches where she had a lot of attacks for a low or negative %. I know against Illinois she had 18 attacks for .026. Does a good setter keep giving the ball to someone hitting that poorly when she's got two LS's like Paz and Hunt? She's hitting .260 this year on a very high number of attempts. If she can run an offense and set her hitters to a higher percentage than that (rather than dumping for a .260 avg), she shouldn't be dumping as much. If she can't, well then...

As today will reveal, how fickle the voting public.
