Is Maggie the tallest player on the team? Should she be listed as 6'6"? Hard to tell for sure but she looks taller than Alli on the sideline. Ally was listed at 6’4 last season I thought. Maybe she grew an inch haha but Maggie is definitely taller. You are correct, Alli was 6-4 last year. I guess Maggie will have to wait til next year to be 6-6.

While we’re on the topic of setters. Incoming Husker, Bergen Reilly got an interesting phone call last night. Such a cool opportunity for her! It’s going to be hard keeping her off the court next year.

Bergen and her whole class are all coming in this spring. 2023 could be the start of a very impressive run for the Huskers.

More importantly the 6-2 was without Orr. They need to be careful with her. She had another surgery this past spring to clean up scar tissue. If she can’t hold up health wise they will go back to Hames is my guess.

I’m guessing that will be in the back of his mind all preseason, and i’m guessing he thought she needed a couple more practices before giving her a shot in the 6-2. that will ring true if she plays saturday

This was some good volleyball. Great attacking, aggressive play. Hames got a lot of flack for years but she is a competitor and she knows how to win. She just has that something undefinable that pushes herself and everyone around her to win.

She just has that something undefinable that pushes herself and everyone around her to win. i’ve actually never seen Hames look as good as a setter as vs LMU and the stats back that up. i rewatched and did setter stats. Hames set .538 - .500 - .352. for overall .450. Evans on the other hand? .167 - .250 - .000 for overall .153 I’ve concluded Hames is a born 6-2 setter and we just discovered it. Anxious to see Orr get a chance in 6-2. still bothered by her coach publicly describing her weaknesses and then praising Evans with numbers like these. she was seriously riding hames’ coattails!!

I agree, John is probably the most brilliant strategist in college volleyball but he needs a public relations person to speak for him.It never goes very well.

He should get a public relations person to speak for him. NE fans would be very upset. He gets questions about specific players and he answers. No matter what he says some will disagree and some will agree. Some don't like Coach Cook's style, some relentlessly defend him. Demonstrated many times in this thread. Sports are part of the entertainment industry IMO. All these discussion threads full of opinions are part of this. Controversies, real or immagined, are also part of this. Keeps it interesting. Good distraction from real problems that confront and impact us, in my experience.

I don’t necessarily disagree, but there are a lot of people that are brilliant coaches like John Cook is, but just are not great at handling the public relations side. Isn’t that why teams have a public relations person? It takes nothing away from what he does or his accomplishments. Relax and take a sip of Coke.

He can and has certainly put his foot in his mouth before, but I guess I’m not seeing any real problem when asked the question about setters him mentioning a challenge one player is having, and complementing the play of another player.

Anxious to see Orr get a chance in 6-2. still bothered by her coach publicly describing her weaknesses and then praising Evans with numbers like these. she was seriously riding hames’ coattails!! Thank you for posting this. Confirmed some data parsing I was testing. Tentatively for the four games so far, I have: Orr with 145 set attempts which translated to 139 attack opportunities with 53 kills and 24 errors. Right at .200 total(K-E/Attempts). Excluding the Pepperdine game because it's the outlier in terms of difficulty at the moment, it was .368. 57 attempts, 26 kills, 5 errors. Evans with 110 set attempts which translated to 109 attack opportunities. 45 kills and 11 errors. Effectively .309. Hames has 40 attempts, 39 attack opportunities, with 22 kills and 4 errors. .450 as stated. Note: I'm only counting situations where the player was a primary setter. IE: I'm not counting Hames playing DS.

You want me to load up on sugar and caffeine to mello out! Maybe with a good dose of Jack added. That'll have to wait for 2:30 PM. LOL
