*if* Stivrins doesn’t come back (but at this point I think she is), who would take the M1/slide hitting position? Is it Meyer? Or maybe the freshman middle whose name I can’t remember? Or does Caffey hit slides and Meyer/the freshman takes the M2 spot?
OR does Nebraska get progressive, doesn’t run slides, and just lets Lexi hit the ‘D’ ball.

But I’m not entirely positive Cook runs with Lexi 6 rotations (depends on how Krause passes I guess) or have Lexi pass in one/two rotations

If she practiced at it, I don’t see why not. She’s improved every single season at Nebraska and this is her senior season anyways. Both Texas and Baylor (more so Baylor) were setting Eggleston and Pressley on D balls as an offensive play, and Hames is better than Gabriel and Sedwick. Even as a Texas fan I’d love to see Sun ripping a ball out of right back.

Somehow this feels a little like Christmas morning when I was a kid.

I remember her hitting pipes (and she was damn good before the back injury). Texas really added the right-back attack sparsely in 2019 before they used it in 2020, at least to my mind. But eh, not really relevant right now I guess. I wonder how her production will compare on the right side, especially OOS. If Sun's good OOS, it'll be interesting to see how much Nebraska shifts their setting patterns to throw high balls to the right instead of the left. OR maybe Cook disappoints us all and she stays on the left...not that it would necessarily be a bad thing because then Batenhorst could be on the right. There's so many options.

Speaking of moving Lexi to the right, may I use this opportunity to ask a rotation question (and display my obvious ignorance)?
Why do the OPP and OH swap sides in rotation one? It seems to be pretty consistent with most/all teams, even when the OPP struggles on the left.

It seems to be pretty consistent with most/all teams, even when the OPP struggles on the left. The players are rotating clockwise through the front/back row right? So in that rotation, the OPP ends up in left front. Obviously, it's hard to get from left front to right front to hit in the time it takes for the pass to get to the setter, so most teams just have the OPP hit on the left for simplicity's sake. There are ways to get around it, like running some play sets or having your opposite run all the way around the court (the USA national team in particular does this), but sometimes that can just unnecessarily complicate things/screw up timings. Let me know if this makes sense lol.

It seems to be pretty consistent with most/all teams, even when the OPP struggles on the left. If they don't swap sides, the OPP still has to run all the way from left front to the right side after the opposing team serves. I was just rewatching an OSU match and Londot (their OPP) would run a slide so she didn't have to fully get to the right side to be ready to hit. Some teams will run the OPP with a 2 ball and the middle runs a slide, so the OPP doesn't have to run as far. If you watched Florida play at all, Carlton (their OPP) sprints completely across the court right when the ball is served. Nebraska just tends to leave the OPP at the outside for that rotation to prevent chaos and running for the players.

Lexi returning is a game changer. After last season when the Huskers were so thin from pin to pin, next season all that is needed is for Riley Zuhn or one of the Freshmen to set up, and they are set at the pins.

Lexi and Ally on the right, Madi, Lindsay, and Whitney, on the left. Edit: They've been working on an additional surprise as well, but not sure it'll happen.

I saw you posted and hoped it was good news about Stivrins.
