The Haggerty sisters were three top level volleyball players. Among them, they won one national championship in 2015, Meghan's junior year at Nebraska. Her sister Maddie joined Nebraska in 2014 but left after one year. Their sister Molly was committed to come to Nebraska, but decided to go to Wisconsin. If all three girls had played four years at Nebraska, two would have been on the 2015 team and two would have been on the 2017 team. In 2018, Nebraska lost the national championship game to Stanford in five games. They lost the first set by two points and the fifth set by three points. Your question for the day: If Molly Haggerty had been on the 2018 team, do you think Nebraska would have won the national championship? I'm going to say no they don't win. That was a really really REALLY good Stanford team. The shoulda, coulda, woulda’s are still undefeated !!!💪🏽💪🏽

Anyone else a little surprised there isn't a similar salute from Stivrins? I'm assuming one or two per day. It's only a few hours until the match.

Molly in 2018 was really good. She could have likely beat out either of the two non-Foecke pins for a starting spot. But we almost got the job done with Lexi and Jazz. So who knows? Coin flip. Nebraska played well that day, that Stanford team was phenomenal. 2018 Molly was still recovering from injury, wasn't she? She only hit .199 on the year, with 2.2 kills per set. Sun hit for about the same hitting percentage, but had almost 1 kill/set more. I can't argue with your comparisons of the averages. I think Haggerty was recovered. She was a top three scorer if she didn't lead in each tourney match. Unfortunately we don't always play to our average. In the championship match Sun had 7 points, 6 errors for .030. I did not originally intend to compare the two. I was only thinking Molly was worth a couple of points either on the bench or ahead of Sun. Would have liked to see the team win either 2016 or 2018 for Foecke and Maloney. They played their hearts out for four years.

Your question for the day: If Molly Haggerty had been on the 2018 team, do you think Nebraska would have won the national championship? We will never know, but imo, the exodus of the Haggerty’s benefitted Nebraska. So no. The Haggerty’s have one NC, Meghan…as a rarely played back-up senior in 2015.

You know, having Caffey back might make for better Volleyball next year, but at some point the kids that have been recruited will not want to wait any longer and will just enter the portal and go. Caffey will be 25 next fall…I think her time as a college volleyball should come to a glorious end this December. We have 2 young (Meyer, Gray) MBs on the roster this fall, and one and maybe 2 coming in next fall (Allick, Mendelson). All of this and I haven’t even mentioned Callie-who I would not complain if she returned because she has never used a redshirt year. We’ll see how it goes. . . 🏐 while you make valid points, I still am in favor for the better volleyball you mentioned with her coming back. Gray has not even seen the floor, Allick has a good ranking but we all know that doesn't always pan out and even if it does she's a freshman, and Mendelson has yet to decide if she even wants to come to NEB. If kids want to enter the portal and go rather than fight for a spot, by all means... I don't think it would be difficult for NEB to find replacements. You know, like Holman and Caffey... With the announcement of Mendelson, you must now understand why we can’t have Caffey/Schwarzenbach around for another year. Mendelson and Allick were the 2 starting MBs for the U18 US national team in September. These two will be part of the MB rotation for the next 4 years. Nebraska has Meyer and Gray on the current roster in addition to Schwarzenbach and Caffey who both have another year possible because of Covid. At this point it’s time to move on from Covid and get back to a normal turnover of the roster-it’s not feasible to have 6 MBs on the roster. We’ll see how it goes. . . 🏐

Get the impression Caffey is ready to move on with her career. IMO Callie staying one more year is a plus for NE. Competition for MB will be intense in 2022. Would not be surprised to see all of them trading playing time,much like OH & OPP this year. Callie would be the only one with a lot of game experience. An important element with many newbies on learning curves. As you said, see how it shakes out.

As Caffey said last night, she is 24 and this is the 3rd time she has been a senior. So, I think that is enough. Mendelson’s stated goal in athletics is to play volleyball in the Olympics-so I doubt that skipping next season, or any volleyball season is on her agenda. Allick has said she was coming for weeks, and they were very close during their U18 world championship experience last summer/fall. In the hierarchy of scholarships, she will be on a basketball scholarship…it will be interesting to hear Amy Williams give us her views. I can’t see her using a scholarship for a part time player…but it is what it is. I hope we get a full explanation soon. Also, I know it was reported weeks ago that she was giving up her senior year (23) to graduate in 22, but I haven’t seen any real confirmation on that from Mendelson. And her Instagram post says she is “committed”… why not “signed”? Maybe she is a 23 “commit”? I just would like it be clear from her. I guess we’ll have to wait to see if Cook or Williams will give a comment about it. ✔️🏐

So I ended up watching all 3 podcast episodes that Hames and Stivrins released. I thoroughly enjoyed it! Hames seems to have such a great personality but Stivrins is so poised and well spoken. I was so impressed with how well she articulates herself. I’ll sure miss watching her tear NCAA teams apart.
