Obviously, the Huskers were better than them, but IDK...I just didn't think that was necessary to say that way. Oh stop it. Indiana chooses to block that way. It’s a deliberate tactical decision. It’s not about being better or not, it’s about that tactical choice. She wasn’t putting them down, it’s a different style defense to play against and they occasionally got caught up hitting into it. A chuckle isn’t condescending. |

The biggest tell about Lauenstein was last week when Cook said she was training on the left. . I think the staff is absolutely sold on Krause on the right-at least for this season. Kubik looks solidly implanted in her spot and that only leaves the 3rd OH position…Batenhorst has the spot, with Sun close behind, but I guess if she has multiple bad nights and if Sun proves no better I guess Lauenstein would be next in line. The real question in the off season is what to do with her. I could see them moving Krause to the middle like the did with Amber Rolfson because of the way she can block. But I doubt Lauenstein is going to play much this season…she had an opportunity to start on the right and things didn’t GI her way. . . We’ll see how it goes . . 🏐

If she wants playing time, why not just transfer. She would start for many P5 programs. Seriously? She’s a Nebraska girl who wants to play for Nebraska-in front of 8000 people ever night.(the last thing she wants is to be a starter for some P5%*$#hole that plays in front of a couple hundred, or 1800, people). It’s clear that her ending up as a full time player at Nebraska continues to be a real probability. Yeah and she could enter the portal and probably play full time. . . But you don’t get up from the table while you are waiting for prime-rib just because someone brought a plate full of hamburgers to the next table. She’ll stay at Nebraska unless she is told playing time won’t happen. Clearly, that is not going to happen anytime soon. We’ll see how it goes. . . 🏐 |

Krause’s total blocks so far this season are more than any other Nebraska OH and more than double the total blocks of Kubik. She’s not far behind Coffey and everyone thinks Coffey is a great blocker right now. I think one of the assistant coaches thinks she can be a “dominant blocker”. . . Of course that could just be coachspeak too. . . Her lateral movement and wingspand say she could be a formidable middle. . . We’ll see 🏐 |

They explained why they found Indiana's blocking scheme "interesting" and it's a good point - if you commit your blockers before the pass hits the Setter's hands, you're hamstringing yourself. They should get called out for such a terrible strategy. |

They should get called out for such a terrible strategy. Lol. . Anyone near the floor could see the same looks between the NU players and between the players and Tyler DURING the match. The IU middles, especially 18, were making their blocking moves the instant a Ne player had a first touch. I think it was initially distracting, but I think it was why Stivrins didn’t get a lot of sets during the first game-the IU double block was set on her no matter where the ball was. Nicklin was smart enough to continue to set Kubik who only had to beat one blocker- and she did with 8 first game Ks. They seemed to be more random when Callie was in the middle, but their scheme was to set the block before Nebraska was in a position to attack. So it was odd and was the reason for the odd looks. I don’t know what else people wanted them to say? It would be like a defense in football all running to the right before the ball was snapped. It was a strange defense. . . Worth a strange look or ten. . . I wonder if Aird will use it going forward. . .🏐 |

A killer RS w/hi IQ who hits and blocks hard is a critical element in his preferred team. Krause is potentially the best at that position in a few years. |

Any combination is a far cry from Stivrins and Caffey. |

I think what you say about Krause makes good sense seems right.
Out of curiosity, is a move from OH to OPP unusual at this stage of a player's career?
Assuming she continues to grow into it and stays at that newish position for her entire time at Nebraska, would it make sense for her to stay with it for any future playing or switch back?

no it’s not that unusual. The pins are the easiest positions to switch between and honestly I think some people make a bigger deal about it than it really is. The blocking footwork is the hardest part but if you’re a good attacker (which Krause is) than honestly it shouldn’t be that hard of a move offensively |
