Wow. I continue to be amazed at John Cook and his staff and their ability to recruit amazing talent. Really?? It’s Nebraska. Huge budget and NIL money. Tradition. One of the best programs year in and year out. Jaylen is an amazing recruiter and I am sure the others do well. But the amazing thing would be if they ever stopped getting top recruits. Congrats on the middle from Texas. She will be a good one. |

Congrats on the middle from Texas. She will be a good one. It’s the one sport they’re top dog in for recruiting. Even when Nebraska was a long time powerhouse in football, they were a good, but not a great recruiting destination. They outworked everyone else in evaluations, development, and scheme. Even in volleyball, every thing has been built from the ground up. Pettit was a Johnny Appleseed in building from the grassroots, which has led to a tremendous participation rate in volleyballl from young women. As you allude to, those advantages aren’t going away, but they were hard earned. I find it surprising when either Nebraska or Texas lose on one of their top targets unless it’s to one another, or Stanford with the right athlete. But it’s a bit of an anomaly to be the top recruiting program in the nation for Nebraska fans. I don’t blame them if they don’t take it for granted, even as formidable as it is. |

Ask UCLA, Hawai'i and maybe Penn State if their titles have always insured recruiting success. There will always be relative newcomers like Pitt, Louisville and Wisconsin entering the top group. With the growth of the sport and the ever growing talent pool in the club programs, staying on top will likely become more and more difficult as time passes. |

Seems like Nebraska, Texas, and Wisconsin pretty much got who they wanted for 2026. We won’t know for awhile about Stanford. But no reason to think these three programs won’t continue to be at or near the very top, even as the landscape changes for D1 athletics.

Very good 2026 class. On to 2027! Based on the 2023 class that’s graduating it could be fairly large. Setter and Middle seem like obvious candidates. A top level outside is a yearly target. Maybe an opposite if Robinson projects more as an OH. No little in 26 means it would make sense to take a walk on or scholarship back row player.
All that is with the caveat of transfer portal, scholarship changes, roster caps etc. that will likely change between now and then.

But the amazing thing would be if they ever stopped getting top recruits. Congrats on the middle from Texas. She will be a good one. It's a hard sell to get top recruits to come and sit for an entire season or two behind other top recruits. When you've got an entire bench that would be starting at many other top 20 programs, that's a big risk for any recruit. |

I think it’s a harder sell for programs trying to recruit against Nebraska to come to their program where they have a better chance of starting right away. Same thing with Texas. |

I think what makes Nebraska’s recruiting particularly impressive is that you start with a base population of less than 2 million. Compared to 30 million for Texas. You can’t just keep the best players from your own state.

Winter isn’t necessarily a negative. It’s when the bugs die…
