Being evaluated by coaches my friend?? Sun and their depth, gives them options of which Sun on the right is a real and exciting one. There’s is ZERO chance they would make a line up decision now for the following reasons, 1. They don’t need too, 2 they have no idea how freshman will adjust, 3. They’re not idiots. Coaches definitely have an idea of what line up they think they COULD be in, what line up they believe COULD be best, it gives them a framework for pre -season. Line ups in the end are a product of how players perform, interact, mesh..... as probably as many as three starters will be freshman or kids who really haven’t played collegiate Ky yet, you wouldn’t make a line up decision now. Ever. I get the impression my joke was too subtle. Ha, my bad! I should have co side red the source.

Do we really think Cook would run a 5-2 or 6-2? After the whole Anderson/Cook 6-2 it does not seem like he is very willing to run it again. Will Orr be ready to play after her injury? I feel like we will see a few transfers this summer. While lineup choices isn't what I was alluding to in my post about "working on something else", Cook does have an aversion to two-setter systems, but it's not a dealbreaker. Plus, he's ceding more control over to his assistants and is mostly exercising veto power and advising on what he thinks are the foundations of the program that shouldn't be lost. He really thinks the world of Tyler and Jaylen and has increasingly let them run with their ideas.

I too am glad Sun has decided to return. So...what are you guy's prediction on Sun's final season?

I believe Lexi will have a great season and her leadership and work ethic will show the new players the "Husker Way". Her play will be excellent as usual and having her in the room will help strengthen an already strong program. I also think she will have more of those games where she is unstoppable. Her experience will payoff this season.

I’m honestly expecting Sun to go off this season. Hopefully no more bad games.

I’m honestly expecting Sun to go off this season. Hopefully no more bad games. Yeah. I was hoping after her final game this year that she’d come back for redemption and she has. It just wasn’t a good finish and I really wanted her to have a big game to end the year

It just wasn’t a good finish and I really wanted her to have a big game to end the year Me too. After her struggles about expectations and how she was “falling short” of her potential I wanted her to have a breakout game that’d shut up all her haters. I’m feeling really confident about her Senior season 2.0.

Also, thinking about that last game vs. Texas. Couldn’t they have paired Lexi with Gabriel upfront? I’m sure Lexi would’ve scored a lot more than how Madi fared that night.
No shade, just wondering about what if’s.

Nebraska could’ve fared much better with someone who would hit over Gabriel

No shade, just wondering about what if’s. Did we try that in the last game? I can't remember. Kubik was hitting over Gabriel but she couldn't overpower the defender who was right there and used to people hitting over Gabriel. Lexi hits a heavier ball and maybe she could have done a little better. Meanwhile, let Madi tool the heck out of Philips. Anyway, I do think we lost that game in serve-pass anyway. Texas just out served and out-passed us. (That's super painful to say) Glad Lexi is coming back. She gets unfairly blamed for our losses the past couple of seasons when our losses have pretty much been entire team breakdowns.

Many very good points as always on this board. With regard to leadership some players will default into a senior role as others graduate. Lexi however is born into the leadership role and it's a natural progression for her to the great benefit of all the recent high level recruits. Lexi has been in a leadership role (shared with Lauren - hopefully to continue) and she has excelled. The benefit to the program is immense as the rising stars get used to D1 play - Lexi will shine and lead the way.

When Tyler came back with the new title one of my thoughts was Cook is giving more control to him of the day to day and making sure what Pettit built and he built is maintained and improved upon. Knowing he has kept up with the program and come back a few times and now choosing to come back to NE leads me to believe he will be a top choice to replace Cook when the time comes.

I hope your right; but if Cook stays as HC for the next 4; Tyler may get tired of waiting! How do you keep him interested?
