My dollar bet is they start t b e same two setters and let the young hitters and middle settle in and speed up their development. It's not a great idea IMO to run a 6-2 if he's planning on going to a 5-1 eventually. If he wants Kennedi to run a 5-1, that means: 1. Kennedi needs real match experience with a 5-1 2. Nicklin needs matches and reps at DS. Her passing has vulnerabilities. I like the 6-2. There are things that aren't ideal about it like moving Lindsay back to the right and Ally still not looking particularly terminal. But those can be worked around as well, Hayden showed a lot of potential in the Red & White to come in and make a difference if one of the pieces isn't delivering. I really like having a bunch of offensive options, I liked the flow of the setting overall on Thursday, our blocking is gonna be a problem for teams, we still have Nicklin backrow for defense, it helps Madi be more efficient since she doesn't have to carry as much of a load, it keeps Hord in front of the setter where she belongs but with the option to run some different plays with the opp on a 2 and her on the slide, it gives both Whitney and Krause a rotation on the left, etc.

Backset yeah, that’s true. 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. Idk how much the setting contributed to that .220... lots of freshmen doing freshmen things IMO. Very fair, didn’t think much about that!

I’m confident Hayden can get it done, and be a great competitor with the pins. She has lots of potential.

This makes me think Coach Cook is dealing with some things I'm not aware of. I can think of four reasons that Orr was not on the floor. None of them are great.

Even before the 6-2 (with Orr watching), I have been trying to figure out how it’s going to work with Bergen Reilly coming in. I can’t imagine a setter with her (ever growing) resume being interested in sitting two years.

Depending on how the rest of Orr and Nebraska’s season goes, she’s probably one of the main players to be watched in the off season…

If they’re a better team in a system without her, I’d say that’s great, just not for her. The problem with this system right now is that the level of opponent won’t expose all the downsides of it to know wether or not it’s the way to go.

We're worried about this year. I don't think it's sporting to throw cold water on us regarding next year. 😢

I’m going to take a brief break from my full-time stanning for Whit to give a some love to Madi. She’s just makes it look so easy, I think we fans can take her for granted. She is so very good at everything. I marvel at her play.

im confused. if Orr is running the 6-2 with hames, but cook said 48 hours ago that Evans and hames were the best choices for a 6-2, does this mean hess trying to ease into the 5-1 with Orr? he's made it clear this year that he thinks the best setter to run the 5-1 this year is Kennedi and has also stated that the other two are better for the 6-2. I don't see any reason for playing Orr in the 6-2 unless he's just easing her into the 5-1

I don't see any reason for playing Orr in the 6-2 unless he's just easing her into the 5-1 Or he watched back the film and realized that Anni wasn't very sharp, thought about the ramifications of Kennedi being on the bench, she had an impressive couple of practices, etc. Not sure what the reasoning is but I'm liking how it looks

It’s about keeping everyone happy. Doesn’t want Orr to leave so he tells her she has the keys to the car. Anni won’t ever transfer although she could start and play full time for many programs. Hames instead of transferring like many grads, is part time Asst coach, part time back row/server and setter when Orr is not completely healthy. We all know Cook hates the 6-2 so this is just going to happen during the pre-season under the guise of getting Orr ready for the BIG Ten! If he goes back to Hames and he can, again it’s to keep Orr healthy for later in the season. The narrative always changing a little. The odd one out will be Anni. She’s getting some opportunity right now but that won’t last unfortunately.

Well to all the experts Orr is obviously struggling. We can understand why she has been playing off and on. What would you like a coach to do, throw the game just to make one of his setters happy?

1. I’ve been busy with hs vb and school starting. I cannot dig back thru 167 pages. 2. I’m a utah homer 3. I’ve only been able to catch todays game and One game last weekend.
Is mendelson hurt or redshirting? I can’t believe she couldn’t have at least provided a little help in the middle? Last game I saw, both middles hit .000. This game one hit .000 and the other was hitting .000 until a couple of kills late in the third?
I know the setting seems to be the bigger issue but give the girl a shot? It doesn’t seem like it would hurt.
