If we've learned anything from the last two seasons, it's that our fate is largely being determined by what's happening right now, in terms of leadership, team dynamic, diet and weight training. Is Lexi powering through and thriving? Is she going Jen and JWO? Or is she going Alexa and Lara? Anyone else remember what it's like to get yourself to class on Monday morning in 0 degree weather? THAT will test your resolve. Is Ms Hames stepping up and owning this team and transforming athletically? How about the newbies? Do we have a healthy battle royale brewing between Capri and Madi? How about at Libero between KK an MM? The girls are either rising to the occasion and winning or... something else. Last year was an amazing accomplishment by two amazing young ladies, catalyzing a championship run among newcomers from four countries (yes Texas is a country). There is no way that should have happened, but intentionality and maturity from Mikaela and Kenzie was just flat out extraordinary and impressively even more improbable than what Kelly did the year prior. It's quiet and it's cold but don't get it twisted, it's ON right now, all the way through July.

I believe that Hames did take ownership already last season and will continue to do so! She is very full of spirit! GO HUSKERS

I expected Foecke to have a big year. I also expected Stivrins to by dynamite along with our senior libero. I think the absolute golden nuggest was Hames. For a true freshman she showed incredible skill and leadership.The young lady is a baller and HATES TO LOSE. She reminds me of May and Kehoe with that drive and smarts.

I really wish this nebraska vs everyone else mentality would stop.
I agree, people are way to hard on Nebraska on this site. For what reason, I don't know but I can assure you, a good 90 percent of them WISH they had the success, fan base etc that nebraska has.
On the other side though, you guys do take things to seriously at times. Someone is even remotely critical of a recruit of yours, and its the end of the world. I get that people are unfair at times, but thats not always the case.
I know Ive said my fair share of things in the past, even about Nebraska, but Can't we all just enjoy volleyball and not make it a blank vs blank

Jenna gray is not my setter she is Stanford’s setter just to put away the odd phrasing. Mikaela Foecke almost “toppled the dream team”... maybe if hames could’ve run some tempo to sun she could’ve had more success. If you would rather have hames on your team than Jenna gray, then you are entitled to your wrong opinion. I’ll take a multiple time first team all American thank you, you can take a runner up trophy:)

Hames did extremely well for a true freshman without the benefit of enrolling in January of 2018. Where Nebraska finished in December compared to the end of October was fairly remarkable. Over the years, a great deal of the prep elite setters have enrolled a semester early to acclimate to the real college season that starts in August. We lose two great players, three great leaders. Stanford only loses the great Alade. The team will welcome the Dream recruiting class of 2019 to its roster in 2019.
An assembly of talent to comprise the Super Dream Team of all-time on a college roster in one given year. So much experience of returning great players with what some knowledgeable volleyball people call the greatest recruiting class of all-time. Really, everyone else is trying to become the championship match contender to the champion Stanford in 2019. If Las Vegas was allowed to lay odds on who the women’s volleyball champion will be in 2019, the Stanford Cardinal would be at worst 2 to 1. Every other major volleyball program would be at best 10 to 1.
So the trophy presenters will have Stanford engraved as the national champions for 2019. The trophy ceremony will be anti-climatic. A yawner for the volleyball world. Congratulations Stanford on winning your ninth women’s national championship in women’s volleyball. A feat, every knowledgeable volleyball fan or player, knows is a lock for this year. I hope my Huskers reach the championship final. Being the second best team would be a great season, like the 2018 season, to the greatest team of all time, the 2019 Stanford Cardinal. Congrats.

say what you want about Gray, but that dump in the 5th set was priceless

If you are great you don't have to brag about it and boy do you brag.

I said that hames was not on the same level as kehoe as a freshman and you turned it into “well she did this and your setter didn’t do good” it was all you bud:)
