And hopefully development of last years bench & subs, and assist from incoming frosh and transfer, with high expectations for Akana and Caffey. Should be fun if they let us have a season. Speaking of Caffey, should we be expecting Callie to be benched? That’ll definitely be interesting. You guys are expecting way too much from Caffey. She is a nice player. She’s not gonna come in and light the Big 10 on fire. Offensive numbers will be a little higher than Callie’s, but not high enough to make them any more of a contender than they were in 2019.

What is this 1B talk for Nebraska? Wisconsin was 15-1 in sets vs Minnesota and Nebraska last year. Wisconsin has the likely Freshmen of the year starting at Opposite, and just picked up the Libero of the year from the AAC. Tier 1: Wisconsin Tier 2: Nebraska, Minnesota, PSU She's still a freshmen, no one knows that. Wisconsin lost their two best passers. Nebraska knows all too well what can happen when that happens. I can't make comments about a player moving from the AAC to the B1G. Nebraska returns everyone, another year more experienced and hopefully better than the year before. Just because they were sweeps, doesn't mean Nebraska was not competitive. In almost every set between the two teams last season there was a key run by Wisconsin/series of errors by Nebraska at the end of the set near the 20ish point mark, that's what experience brings. Wisconsin lost some of that, Nebraska gained some. You don't have to agree, it's just my opinions/observations. You can’t say “it’s not all Hames she didn’t have much to work with” And “well we return everybody”. So she’s setting the same crappy players? It’s Wisconsin’s to lose Tier 2 is PSU/MINN/THE RED TEAM Tier 3 is ILL/PUR/MICH Then all the rest.

Except Nebraska returns everybody and Minnesota lost their best hitter from last year (sorry Samedy) and is basing their hype off projections of incoming freshmen. and Minnesota wins the opposite battle by a mile. Um she certainly wasn't "miles" better this past season. Samedy's trajectory has not been going in the right direction.

It’s Wisconsin’s to lose Tier 2 is PSU/MINN/THE RED TEAM Tier 3 is ILL/PUR/MICH Then all the rest. Nebraska had two freshmen as main passers and a DS with poor ball control. Those two freshmen will now be sophomores with experience and reps and that DS has been replaced with an incoming player known as a solid passer. Doesn't mean they will be Maloney and JWO all of a sudden but it's reasonable to think they will be better and if Knuckles in particular improves that will only make things easier for Lexi. Our pins did pretty well last year considering how obvious the offense became at times..the ability to diversify the offense could make a significant difference. That said, Wisconsin is obviously the favorite. Also, the "crappy" players bit was totally unnecessary on your part. The poster was obviously referring to the ball control, that doesn't equate to them calling anyone crappy.

"crappy players" are we five? that's a bit uncalled for And you're underestimating how much a year of development is good for freshmen, to be sophomores.... who were two of Nebraska's main passers last season. Sure it's Wisconsin's to lose.. but Nebraska will be right there behind them

Except Nebraska returns everybody and Minnesota lost their best hitter from last year (sorry Samedy) and is basing their hype off projections of incoming freshmen. And not only do they lose their power hitter in Hart, but also one of their other main attackers in Taylor Morgan, who had the second if not the highest hitting percentage on the team. Not to mention Kylie Miller, who by the end of the season was playing at a super high level pretty much all around, and was also one of their really strong servers. So Nebraska is easily above both Minnesota and Penn State (who also lost some key players) imo. Have you seen MN's recruiting class? Each of those players is special...more special that Hames fo sho!

I’m not denying the incoming class has a lot of potential, but they also lost a lot of talent with rep and EXPERIENCE, which is why both Nebraska and Wisconsin are clearly >> Minnesota/Penn State for me, at least before seeing any of the potential 2020 season games.

Yep. Not as impressed by Landfair as others are.

Wenaas has the potential to be very very good as a freshman. She’s the second best OH in that class behind mruzik (the senior ace rankings were a joke this year). I expect her to start before landfair does. I honestly think landfair should redshirt and play oppo after Samedy but who knows.

Happy Birthday Emma! The girls say she’s really nice! Anyone think she has a shot at the DS spot or are we all sold on Akana?
