Maybe Cook will be able to talk Jordan into coming home for good this time. He keeps telling her that he'll have a spot waiting when she's ready. She's made a lot of money internationally, and I'm not sure her legs will still be there by the time Tokyo rolls around, maybe she'll consider shutting it down and moving on to the next chapter in her life? Does Jordan have some coaching experience?

Does Jordan have some coaching experience? I don't know; but a few years back I believe he said he wanted her to coach at Nebraska when her pro career was over! I believe she built a home in Waverly. Whether she still has it; I don't know! She does love the sport and she knows volleyball well! GO HUSKERS

Does Jordan have some coaching experience? Not full time experience, just camps. However, Banwarth barely had any as well. She was an assistant for the Pepperdine men's team. That's it. I think it can be risky to hire someone without experience, but Cook has a good eye for coaching talent and has seen her work his camps. Plus, her pedigree is strong having played for Cook, McCutcheon, Kiraly, Gilyazutdinov, and Barbolini. Given all her experience and the great coaches she's been around, I'm sure she has a lot of knowledge to impart on players. It's also can't be understated how much she'd move the dial in recruiting. Cook has mentioned that when she works Nebraska's camps that players just stare at her in awe and soak up everything she says. I imagine she'd draw a lot of attention at club tournaments.

#ProBigRedJordan Larson’s Eczacıbaşı Tigers are in first place of Turkey’s League of Sultans with a record of 20-1 and will play their final match of the regular season on Sunday, Feb. 25, at 5:00 p.m. TRT (8:00 a.m. CST) against Halkbank. A win on Sunday will give the Tigers a #1 seed in the playoffs where they will battle for their 18th Sultanar Ligi championship and a berth to the next CEV Champions League tournament. On Tuesday, Eczacıbaşı won the first leg of the quarterfinals of the CEV Cup against Krasnoyarsk, and Jordan and Tijana Bošković dominated the four-game match with 22 and 24 kills, respectively! Here’s a link to the full stream: www.laola1.tv/en-int/video/2018-02-20-yenisei-krasnoyarsk-eczacibasi-vitra-istanbul-lenKelsey Robinson is also in Turkey on a star-studded Vakifbank team, which will wrap up the regular domestic league season against Bursa on Saturday, Feb. 24, at 5:30 p.m. TRT (8:30 a.m. CST). Vakifbank ranks second with a record of 19-2 and will head to the playoffs to battle for their tenth league title and a return to next season’s CEV Champions League (the top three teams in Turkey receive bids). In this year’s edition of the CEV CL, Vakifbank has secured a spot to the playoffs with a 5-0 record in pool play with one match remaining against Galatasaray on Feb. 27 at 8:30 p.m. TRT (11:30 a.m. CST). The match will be streamed for free via Germany’s Laola: www.laola1.tv/en-int/livestream/galatasaray-sk-istanbul-vakifbank-istanbul-lenGina Mancuso joined BKS Bielsko-Biała in Poland’s Orlen Liga in the middle of the season last month along with former Penn State middle blocker, Nia Grant. Last Friday, the G Train had at least 10 kills, a couple blocks, and an ace in a sweep over her former Polish team, MKS Dabrowa Górnicza! The team has eight matches of the regular league season remaining as it looks to advance to the Polish playoffs as one of the top-four teams. Back in September, Kadie Rolfzen replaced the legendary OH Saori Kimura for the Toray Arrows in Japan’s V.Premier League, and she currently ranks fourth in Japan with 355 points (behind Neriman Özsoy, Kenia Carcaces Opón, and Brankica Mihajlović). She leads all foreign players in serve-receive and digging, ranks sixth overall in aces, and places in the top ten for blocks. I‘m fond of the slogan for the Toray Arrows: “Demonstrate strength by becoming a bundle and push toward the goal.” Amber Rolfzen’s Béziers Angels are ranked #1 in France with four matches of the regular season remaining against Chamalières (Feb. 26), St-Raphaël (March 3), Evreux (March 17), and Nantes (March 24). Not only is Béziers four wins away from claiming the #1 seed to the playoffs for the Ligue A Féminine title, which grants an automatic berth to the CEV CL next season, but the Angels will play RC Cannes for the Coupe de France on March 10! Allez Les Angels!

Hey there Husker fans! I hope you are all enjoying the off-season, and keeping warm and staying safe this winter. Be sure to check out the Beach forum, as the Huskers begin their season this week in Arizona. I re-vamped the OP, and I'll try to add a 2018 preview after the Beach season is over, and as summer approaches. (If I'm not mistaken, this year should be our quadrennial summer trip to China. There's a lot to look forward to. #Weofeo) I know Cook was considering Brazil, but China and/or Japan would be safer.

She is not at the top of her game. That's some serious hyperbole. Lies you telling! This has been her best season offensively for Eczacıbaşı! Because she doesn't need to be a top option anymore. She's also passing and playing defense worse. I didn't say she's bad, but to say that she's at the top of her game is BS. She even talked about to having to change how she does things last time she was in Lincoln due to age and injuries. She used to be a top 3 OH in the world. She's no longer that.

Rollins might be 6' in heels. That makes sense then. What is Capri’s vertical touch? Don't know. We'll find out when she tests during summer conditioning. She can fly though.

Lies you telling! This has been her best season offensively for Eczacıbaşı! Because she doesn't need to be a top option anymore. Jordan certainly has an increased load this season after Tatiana Kosheleva transferred to Galatasaray and Thaisa injured herself during the CEV CL last year. The L2 has been a carousel all season for the Tigers, as Motta keeps rotating Hande Baladin, Güldeniz Önal (former libero), and Meliha Ismailoglu (former player for Fenerbahçe). She's also passing and playing defense worse. I didn't say she's bad, but to say that she's at the top of her game is BS. She even talked about to having to change how she does things last time she was in Lincoln due to age and injuries. She has recovered from those immediate ailments that she mentioned a couple months ago. She used to be a top 3 OH in the world. She's no longer that. Besides KYK and Zhu Ting, whom would you rank higher than Jordan?
