You can substitute maybe 30 names in for NE and that would still be true. Much easier said than done to decisively win both the serve and receive battles. hopefully with hildebrand everything can get cleaned up I think improving serve/pass has very little to do with Hildebrand. Nebraska has been a great serve/pass team for a long time without Tyler a part of the program. Most of the serve/pass woes last year had to do with inexperience (Knuckles and Kubik) and Sun still needing to step up her consistency. It's almost all on reps and mental focus and not technique.

Isn't Tyler helping the middles/defense? Yes, but strategic positioning is a consequent of serve/pass. The latter are static and antecedent in the sequence of events. I don't see how Tyler would affect either to a significant degree. Nebraska's serve/pass was excellent in 2015-2018. I suspect 2019's diminishing performance in those areas were more about losing players like Maloney, Albrecht, Townsend, et al. from preceding years. It's a pretty simple diagnosis. Sun shows flashes of great passing but is inconsistent and will also flash terrible passing. Knuckles and Kubik were freshman. Kubik did pretty good for a frosh OH, but not to the 15-18 Husker standard. As far as serving, Maloney and Foecke were two of our best servers in 2018 and they left as well. Last year was basically a reset due to the loss of players who served/passed well.

Sun shows flashes of great passing but is inconsistent and will also flash terrible passing. Agree entirely about 2019 being a reset year due to the graduation of great passers. But to focus on Sun for a second; Lexi Sun is what Lexi Sun is at this stage. She struggled in 2019; passed a 1.85 in 2019, with a 38% good pass percentage, that was way down from her 2.14 and 50% good pass in 2018. But Lexi didn't get magically worse last season and she won't get magically better in 2020. I did a full analysis on this months ago with gifs etc, but the difference was Kenzie Maloney. In 2018 Lexi got a ton of help - Maloney was shading to Sun and taking anything in her seam. In 2019 Cook kept things super simple for Knuckles which left Lexi with more responsibility in SR and she struggled. That's the difference an elite ball control libero makes to the players around her. I'm sure Cook will be hoping that Kenzie Knuckles can take more responsibility in 2020. If Knuckles can take the pressure off Sun (Lexi struggles most in SR when she has to move - particularly to her right) then you'll likely see her produce a passing performance similar to 2018. If Knuckles isn't ready to help Lexi like Maloney did, you're probably going to see a repeat performance of 2019. As I have definitely said in this thread before, passing happens as a unit.

Thanks makes sense. Knuckles had a lot thrown at her last year as a freshman. For all the disappointment over performance, Huskers made it to the elite 8 last year, and one could make a legit case they were a top 5 team imho. Just hope that we have a tournament this year or that they don't terminate things mid-season.

Tyler and Jalen's success are in setting. Both were setters during their playing careers. I believe this will be Tyler's third year as an associate head coach of a program having had two on the men's side. Tyler is being groomed to take over the program at Nebraska if he chooses to wait for Cook to retire. He will be given much more responsibility which will probably include overall program management, financial budgeting, dealing with the AD, etc. Jaylen will be in his third year coaching at Nebraska and will fulfill his commitment of staying at least three years. The right move for Jaylen is he will be in charge of recruiting this year. There's no doubt he wants to become a head coach somewhere and he needs to get his name out there as a top notch recruiter in the women's side of volleyball. Make no mistake about it, Nebraska's recent success was because of the recruiting prowess of Dani Busboom Kelly and the future is bright because of Kayla Banwarth's recruiting. And please, no offense ladies...but as former Oklahoma Sooner coach Barry Switzer use to say, "it's not the X's and the O's, its the Jimmy's and the Joe's". Recruiting is the key! I think the positions each of them was assigned to coach is a wash.

Tyler’s “playing” success Is in setting, not sure how either especially Jaylens success is in setting, not that they don’t have expertise or can’t train setters, just not sure how you arrived at their success was in setting.

I wrote that at 3.46 in the morning after drinking alcohol for the first time in seven years...my apologies won't happen again. I was actually thinking about the trio of Kelly Hunter, Jaylen and Tyler working together. Things got a little fuzzy. My bad. I was also thinking Kayla had been handling the libero's and DS's the last three years too.

That may be why the first thing I said was “Tyler’s playing success in setting” Usually when someone has had that type of experience, or expertise, they are more successful training setters. Not as much training middles and defense. Didn't he train Hunter while at NU before. I believe I read somewhere that she gave Tyler a lot of credit for her improvements.
