For the most part, I agree with with your picks (except maybe setter or coach, but it's within the realm of serious contenders) but no Nebraska players. . . you must like receiving hate mail. Also, did you make a pick at OPP? Apologies if I missed it Nebraska simply doesn’t have the singular best player at any position. I think a Jackson could get there by end of this season though, she’s got the best slide in the country. Need to see a sophomore year leap in blocking consistency. Bergen? I think she's closer to being the top at her position nationally than any other Husker. Wasn't she B1G SOY as a freshman?

It’s either going to be Orzol, potential Olympian Trinity Shadd-Ceres from Canada, or whoever they grab from the May portal. Why not Devyn? With Fuerbringer coming in, wouldn't Sheffield move to a 5-1? Pretty sure Smrek has RS locked down Having a middle move to outside when they also have a new setter coming in would be a bit too much of an adjustment. My ideal 5-1 lineup would have Devyn at M1 (they can run her like an Opp à la Dixon at Florida last season), Booth at M2 (with Crawford as her SS), and Smrek on the right. For the outside starting opposite Franklin, go with either the veteran (Orzol) if one of Schumacher or Damrow is stepping into the libero jersey or the freshman (Shadd-Ceres) so that she can get the experience needed for next year when Wisconsin’s in rebuild mode.

Need to see a sophomore year leap in blocking consistency. Bergen? Very excited to see what she can do as as sophomore, but freshman year version, while already great, still has some growing to do.

I think cook is a POS, but to deny that he’s the best coach in the game is insane What Elliot did in the tournament was insane, but imo that was more of Texas realizing their TRUE potential.
I think every non Texas fan, and even some Texas fans, would pick cook. Imo it’s not really close. I mean, isn't that part of a coach's job? To identify potential in recruiting, then train it and maximize it in lineups, preparation, calling plays etc? I mean yes. Whereas I think cook did this much earlier than Elliot did. Which is why I think cook is the better coach. I’ve knock Elliot a lot and I think he’s gotten a lot better as a coach and a person, and I think Logan helped him with that. But truly cook is in a league of his own imo

But truly cook is in a league of his own imo Like I said, Cook is definitely on the Top 5 list, but whether he's a "lock" or "in a league of his own", we're going to have to agree to disagree. Definitely there's an argument that he was out-coached in one particular head-to-head match up recently. . .

I’m sorry but picking Elliot over cook for this list is wild and I don’t particularly care for either of them at all so I feel I’m pretty unbiased in this case. Anyway If yall wanna help me out and bring some of the discussion to the comment section of the post I’d love it

Ehhhhh. . . agree to disagree. Cook would definitely be on every list of top 5 coaches, but "locked" is too much. For one thing, IDK how you categorically write off Jerritt Elliot, who just pulled off back-to-back titles. You can dislike him as a person, but it's hard to deny that accomplishment. For active coaches DBK, Dan Fisher, Sheffield and Skinner should all be in the running IMO. If you consider retired - Russ Rose, John Dunning, Mick Haley? If we're counting retired coaches, Russ Rose is in a tier by himself. Russ Rose would likely be on everyone's top 5, but he's not in a "tier by himself".

What I dispute is that he is a "lock"
