I don't think one human being ever has returned to 100%, post-ACL tear. Tom Brady 2008. Harmotto tore hers early in her collegiate career. I think I get your overall point, but athletes can and do recover to 100% although not in all cases. Good examples. Anyone would do well to adopt Brady's nutrition and fitness regime! I I'd still contend that no one 100% recovers. While Brady benefits from being allowed to stand in the pocket, protected by 5 millionaires, Orr will benefit most by 2 or 3 millionaire passers, because chances are jack backs to the right pin while sliding on her knees to her far left may no longer be in the cards. I'm adjusting my projection from 2-3 national titles to 1-2. :-)

If you didn't see the final 6 pts. of game 2 PSU-MN, you missed one of the sweetest moments possible for Adanna Rollins. She gave Hugh the ol' Michael Jordan shrug

I would like to see Lexi start the matches and be replaced if she is not getting it done or if they are winning easily. She is obviously having to work to keep her back loose and is tentative on her first few swings until she feels warmed up. Let's see her shot selection and effectiveness when she is coming off of her regular pregame routine. I am big Ally fan, but she is not yet the blocker or defensive player that Lexi is. The spacing and communication during play looks better to me. I also think that Lexi's serve is a weapon.

Lexi Rodriguez freshman of the year??? She’s making a case for it that’s for sure

The spacing and communication during play looks better to me. I also think that Lexi's serve is a weapon. I agree with this. Consistency is the issue here. Lexi has shown in the past that she can be fabulous, but unfortunately she has also shown she can be inconsistent. Ally seems to be less dominant but more consistent. If we're comparing overall numbers on the season (from the Nebraska website): hitting % .158 Lexi, .154 Ally kills 92 Lexi, 95 Ally *Ally has played in 11 more sets than Lexi and only has 1 more attack attempt than her (299 vs. 298 TA) blocks 21 Lexi (.5 per set), 15 Ally (.28 per set) Lexi has 13 aces on the year (9 service errors), Ally has 0 aces (5 service errors) Last game vs. Purdue, Lexi also outplayed Ally based on the numbers. Given that her numbers look better on the season AND given that she outplayed Ally last game, I think she should be given an opportunity to step up and start a match. But, she is a senior leader and they expect better numbers from their senior players than their freshman players playing the same position...if the numbers are similar or the same they will always go with the younger player for development purposes (more upside potential for the future). I've been very impressed with how Madi has stepped up since her spot was challenged in the preseason/early season...I am hoping Lexi can do the same and graduate from Nebraska on a good note! Having said this, I do think Ally has done really well to challenge Lexi's position this year (and win it so far!) and she will be phenomenal for Nebraska over her 4 years.

Yeah......No....... Would agree with the sentiment if the Huskers were 4-5 games into conference schedule. But now with 10 games in, the Batenhorst experiment has been thouroughly tested for this year. Time for a change. Whatever the coaches are seeing with Batenhorst in practice is not translating to game day. Give Sun a chance to regain her confidence or let Lauenstein start rocketing shots all over the court (and occasionally into the stands). As good as the other offensive positions are contributing, it will be extremely difficult to win the BIG or push far into the tournament with a tentative pin hitter posting .000 seemingly every other match.

Tbh at this point I would take 2018 Sun. We just need our L1 to get 2 kills per set at like .200 hitting and that should be enough given our other positions. I mean, if Sun played like she did in 2019 or 2020 then I wouldn’t complain lol

Seems clear using Cook’s words, past and present, the Batenhorst experiment for 2021 is over. . . Sun will get another chance chance and if that doesn’t work out, 13 will be next in line, not the return of 14. . . We’ll see how it goes 🏐✔️

I still think they should go the Texas route. Put your two best hitters on the left pin... that way there is not one rotation where you dont have someone you trust to take an OOS swing in the front row when you have Krause on the right side, you limit that by one or two rotations Is there a metric huskergeek that shows points won by rotation (or sideout % per rotation)

Even when she hits out, it’s just barely. And it’s occurring less and less. We saw Krause on outside against Stanford and it wasn’t a good result. Now, they were all outta sorts that game in every position-yes, but it would be hesitating to switch her from the spot she’s learned and IMO has done a good job at with the stretch coming up that they have. It isn’t just swinging-it’s blocking, covering roll shots and tips, etc. but I also see your point as well..

I understand that, but also should note, that match had no Kubik or Stivrins. that match also had Ally passing... which was never going to go well. We see how Lindsay plays in rotation one. Her approach is so much better and more natural than on the right side. She's played left side for years.. I don't doubt she can adjust to the other side accordingly.
