Possibly a Soph or Jr for 25? Perhaps or we could get an utr 2025 recruit Maggie will be ready to come back in 2025.

I mean the talent pool is obviously much bigger in a state like Texas. The population is 15 x the size of Nebraska. So Texas is not often going to have a year where there aren't elite top recruits near the top of the list from their own backyard. Nebraska prep has produced some great players over the years, but the priority for Husker fans is the success of the Husker program and if that means the best available players happen to be from outside the state of 2 million people, so be it. They shouldn't settle. What's important is that they don't lose out on the in-state recruits they do want. Players like Mauch and Leimbach are great additions to the program and will continue the backbone of Nebraska volleyball with their backrow play. This all makes sense, jwvolley, but it does seem that the in-state talent for front row players has diminished somewhat. I mean where are the next Larsons or Rolfzens? Really, from a state with a population of <2 million? Larson 2005-2008 Rolfzens 2013-1016 Krause 2021-2024 Lauenstein 2021-2022 The later quit the team, before transferring to TX.

Tvrdy (24 Oregon) and Wardlow (25 Wisconsin) were quality MB recruits that just didn't fit the what Nebraska needed when their recruiting cycle opened. In most cases, they'd be a Husker but Bekka and Maggie in 2022, Andi in 2023, and at the time Ames in 2024. Hindsight is 20/20 but a 5th middle didn't seem additive unless it was Taylor Harvey level upside.
Most other years there would have been a way to make it work because Cook HATES losing in state players they're on.

Really, from a state with a population of <2 million? Nebraska's overall population is low, but volleyball is really popular there. They have more junior girls playing volleyball seriously than more populous areas of the country (f.ex., probably more than the entire New England/Tri-State Area's 40 mm people)

The comparison was a Texas fan trying to make note of Nebraska not taking as many in-state recruits when volleyball participation in texas is huge, much like Texas overall is huge.

With it only being 6 weeks away, in addition to the middles being mentioned, the pool of 2026 candidates includes: Henley Anderson, 6'2 outside hitter from Texas Ayanna Watson, 6'3 outside hitter from Las Vegas Halle Thompson, 6'0 outside hitter from Texas Gabriella Divita, 6'2 outside hitter from Michigan (Legacy) I know she’s a 2027, but is Malorie Boesiger a possible future recruit or is she too small?

Oh nice get, congratulations. Given the timing, I assume she's a walk on - which is kinda crazy, a NTDP walk-on
