Thank you for sharing! Hunter is an excellent player and what's so great about her is she hasn't peaked in her performance, she still has some great room for growth. If she can stay injury free she will be another one of the greats to wear Red. Cook has done an excellent job of recruiting with his following classes to cradle these 2013 kids. His 2015 and 2016 recruits are high caliber to help them get back to the national championship caliber. I felt NU volleyball has lacked chemistry and those USA type hitters they were used to seeing on the OH the past 4 years. They struggled in the middle as well, to chase contentions for the final four. That last group of seniors was just one step behind of where they needed to be. I was very impressed with Haggerty as a middle last season. I think this years NU program is really going to shock people. I think they will be a top 5 team and possibly a final four contender if their chemistry is working. I expect them to run a 6-2. NU's RS hitter struggled, and with the power house hitters coming in there, he might have some tricky choices to work with.
If cook signs both Molly Haggerty & Audrianna Fitzmorris in 2016 (which looks likely) Nu volleyball is back on the map for national championship contentions for quite a few years. I'mexcited to see this new NU VB arena, Devaney Coomplex

I think they have a foundation to be great, but don't see this team competing to get to the FF. It would take probably 3 freshman having incredible rookie campaigns.

OK, having never heard of Miss Fitzmorris til you brought her up, I've now done a little due diligence. Can you give us (me) the scoop on why it is "likely" she is headed to Lincoln?? I get Molly, and I get that Coach Cook has the geographical advantage with regard to Audriana....Is there more?

I've just heard there was interest and contact. I have no idea where she would decide to go. I think Nu could be a good fit for her, family being close, etc. these players are just so young still. I think it's better when these kids decided on there schools there junior/senior seasons!

I would say in terms of national championship contenders, they've been a little off the map (for them)

Decent hands for "the big girl".

Dorothy, I've exchanged a few friendly E-mails with coach Cook about the overall perception that this season's team, while extremely talented, is also perceived as young and inexperienced and that most prognosticators are thinking Nebraska will take a step back this season as this season is mostly about getting ready and experienced for next season. Coach has assured me the team is aware of that perception and is using it as motivational tool and is focused on proving a lot of that thinking wrong. He hinted that he feels a lot of people are in for quite a surprise.

The article mentioned that Pollimer has TWO years left of eligibility. Is that correct? I thought she was a senior.

Decent hands for "the big girl". Shes only 14 years old. A lot can change between now and her senior HS season. KSU could tank and most of the real "big boy" elite programs will be beating down her door. Then again, the twin towers committed to Nebraska waaaaaaaaaay early and made it crystal clear their commitment was rock solid. That youtube which shows her delivering a kill so hard off the opposing girls face that it knocked that girl to the floor and then she stays motionless on the floor and the medical staff comes a running, was a powerful shot for anybody---let alone a 14 year old. Audriana Fitzmorris is a VB player to track the next few years. I'm thinking there should be a separate thread for her. Here's a link to a good article about her: espn.go.com/blog/high-school/volleyball/post/_/id/2166/audriana-fitzmorris-14-gets-early-usa-call
