Who told you that? In conference all 4 primary passers are in the 57-61% GP range (Kubik is at 61%, Rodriguez is at 57%). Nebraska are passing well on the year. They are struggling in transition. I think it was in a Cook interview (albeit way early in the season) where he said Roddy was the best passer on the team. Didn't realize Knuckles was passing that well either. Gives me hope for the Huskers to get a big run if they can solve their OOS hitting issues. Rodriguez did have higher numbers early in the season but Cook also likes to speak things into existence. It can build confidence but can also create expectations.

Interesting that Roddy was only targeted 9 times against Wisconsin and Knuckles was served 22 times. Guess Sheffield missed that opportunity. Knuckles struggled in the Wisconsin match with a 48% GP but Kubik was the target when she was the FROH. Serving can be about more than just getting a bad pass. Kubik passed great (63% on 27 balls) but making her pass that much limited the Husker offense and they only had a 29.6% FBSO on her passes. That is low for a 63% GP. Nebraska won the serve pass game (they did the same thing to Orzol and Boyer also struggled) but Wisconsin won the match in transition. The Nebraska OHs rolling so far under to get tips is hurting them in trans. Kubik was targeted 58 times (at least according to Sidearm Stats) during the Minnesota match. When I saw that stat my jaw dropped. But I'm just a casual fan and have never played organized volleyball. Is that rare or does that happen more often and I just haven't noticed? Weenas was targeted 44 times in that match.

I think she’s great, but statistically over the weekend she wasn’t.

Sometimes teams will try and move things around if the same person is getting targeted and it's not going well. (Or vice versa) But if both parties are happy with the way things are going, then it will continue.

Weenas was targeted 44 times in that match. It isn't that rare. Serving the front row OH is probably a good idea even if she is a solid passer because most OHs hit worse after they have passed. By making Kubik pass she can't get as wide as she wants on her approach. That limits her range when she attacks making her easier to defend. It is more rare to see a player that isn't hitting being targeted that much. Washington libero Shannon Crenshaw passing 71 balls in the elite eight match against Pitt in the spring was pretty incredible.

Nebraska Volleyball Show John Baylor and John Cook I wanna know exactly what "earn it in practice" means?? Like is there some sort of one on one competition happening? Who works harder? I ask this because I feel like if its a 1v1 type thing and Lexi is losing maybe its time to just try starting her? No hate to Ally shes a great player and I have no doubt shes gonna be an All American before she leaves Nebraska but currently game time has been a struggle. I feel like according to this Ally will get the start tomorrow. Hopefully she can turn it on! #GBR

If there is a list of things Coach Cook feels are more important for Nebraska L1 & L2 than kills or kill percentage, I'm pretty sure these are things that take strengths away from the opposition. If that is correct, and his comments seem to validate that, I think we can understand he may not want to "detail" those for the competition. All the best coaches try to find and measure important things that others don't. I believe the Nebraska coaches want the players to focus on and perform well on "tasks" on their side of the net- a long list of responsibilities. IMO these coaches feel the coaches first job is to select "tasks" that undo the competition.
There is nothing wrong with people saying they enjoy and prefer to watch Lexi play. That does not mean the Coach is wrong.

How these results are prioritized is not made public.
Even if a decision on the starting lineup has been made, I don't think the coaching staff would want to tell Illinois what that decision was until the last possible minute, so they have to spend practice time preparing for more players.

Thanks for the responses. Appreciate the explanations. I just had remembered last season hearing that Riley Zuhn and Jazz Sweet had essentially battled it out on a competition and one of them had "won" and got the start. So wasn't sure on that. But it makes perfect sense to keep Illinois on their toes as for who to prepare for. Whoever it is I juat hope they crank it up!

Akana is a tough one! I didn’t know about her surgeries and how she used headbands to cover up scars.
