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. OMG! 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 well you are a better person than I am because I’m already having my diet Pepsi.🤣

Tentative passing data through four games(Literally got this running last night so don't hold me to it.)
Hames: 27 transition opportunities on 29 reception attempts with 10 kills and 4 errors (1 RE, 3 HE). Effectively .207 when Nicklin takes the first touch. Knuckles: 23 transition opportunities on 27 reception attempts with 10 kills and 6 errors (3 RE, 3 HE). Effectively .148. Rodriguez: 38 transition opportunities on 40 reception attempts with 21 kills and 7 errors (1 RE, 6 HE). Effectively .350. Kubik: 59 transition opportunities on 65 reception attempts with 21 kills and 10 errors (2 RE, 8 HE). Effectively .169.

A lot like a wine cooler

Finally, Digging(Which I just got working about a half hour ago... so yeah about a pound of salt on this one.)
Lexi: 53 digs with 20 kills and 7 errors. Effectively .245. Nicklin: 33 digs with 11 kills and 7 errors. Effectively .121. Kenzie: 24 digs with 8 kills and 0(!) errors. Effectively .333. Madi: 27 digs with 10 kills and 4 errors. Effectively .222.
Again this is only counting Hames time as a DS.

I think way too much is made of "no one has ever won a natty using a 6-2". Well, maybe because less than 10% of teams in any given year use it? Penn State came dang close to winning it all with one. 2017? I think? Just watched the replay. I like the 6-2 for Nebraska as long as Batenhorst can get going. IMO, Evans / Hames in a 6-2 makes more sense than using Orr. You need fast, mobile setters who can defend in a 6-2, and I think that's why it works. Having two libero-level players (Roddy, Knuckles) also helps a ton since you don't necessarily have to worry about the setter playing first contact with them diming sets in secondary. So far, Wisconsin's 6-2 feels forced, Nebraska's looks really, really good to me. I hope Cook keeps it and lets it become well-oiled because I think it would be deadly by the time the B1G starts. I thought the 6-2 looked good last night. My mine gripes are... you now have to pass with two in two? three rotations now?. That's a ton of pressure on Kubik. and it makes Lindsey less effective... Unless Ally can really get it going... you bring back last year's weaknesses but there's also quite a few positives. I think kubik can handle it with the 6-2 she isn't going to be set every ball and it gives her time and energy to put into her passing

I was stunned when they came out in a 6-2, especially when Orr was not one of the setters. However, I really warmed up to it as the match went along.
I agree about Nicklin. I have never seen her set better. Her sets to the pins were so much more hittable than prior years.

It absolutely gets all of our big-time hitters and blockers on the front line.

I have never seen her set better. Her sets to the pins were so much more hittable than prior years. I was honestly suprised to see the 6-2, but not that it wasn’t with Orr. From what I can see so far, she’s the weakest defensive setter that we have. Her setting location and consistency needs work, Anni’s at this point is better. Overall I think the advantages you get from Orr (bigger blocker, some hitting opportunities) are entirely irrelevant in a 6-2. Maybe Orr is just nervous, but she doesn’t seem ready to be the primary setter in a 5-1 just yet.

But yeah she looked inconsistent with everything else last weekend and I've heard it's been like that in practice. We'll see what happens tonight though.

I hope tonight she gets a chance to prove herself. With a hitting percentage of .220 last year we need someone (or 2) consistent to power the offense.

Orr does put up a great ball for the Opp’s, but I was VERY impressed with Anni setting the right as well against Tulsa

Which is interesting because I think Nicklin was paired with Whitney in the 6-2.

My dollar bet is they start the same two setters and let the young hitters and young middle settle in and speed up the development of their performance and efficiency.
