I find it interesting that Coach Cook has stated that Alli has an abdominal strain/pull. Assume she has OK'd the release of that information. Every situation varies, but I think that is a wise choice in Alli's case as it nips unfounded speculation in the bud. He said she was nursing an abdominal injury in like the very first press conference of the season. Also stated last year they had her play through it and it was lingering all season, so they were going to be more careful with it this season.

Yeah, not sure what’s up with her. I think she’s injured. On BTN between the second and third sets this afternoon I saw her being held up by the shoulders of two players, I don’t recall who. Seems like she was limping. I noticed that threesome as well. It wasn’t clear how serious they were being (all the players looked happy and playful as they went by, kinda mugging for the camera), but you may well be right. It’s the explanation that best fits what we’ve been seeing so far this season.

Some time after playing Pepperdine he observed in an interview that she had taken herself out of play early in that match because it was bothering her.

Isn’t this a similar injury that Taylor Landfair had last year that she sat the whole season?

When set point is scored to end the second set, Orr is the first one to run - yes, run - past the players on the court, heading for the locker room.

So; what's going on with Orr? Is she ill; or is she having a bad time of Neb going with the 6-2? Or is there something else? Kennedi is wearing what appears to be a full length elastic bandage on her left leg (I think its left). That likely means there is inflamation/swelling in that leg, which in turn means there is an injury. Kennedi appears very supportive of the team on the bench, so she seems to be handling her current team role well. As far as Nicklin and Anni running the 6-2 there could be multiple reasons including many already mentioned: Getting more NE hitters in the matches A consistently tall, physical, blocking & hitting front line Nicklin and Anni having similar setting styles/skills, thus they pair well in the 6-2. And now they added Maggie, NE's tallest player, to that front line. Building for next year when Andi Jackson arrives? I know need to concentrate on 2022 now. This is also a very scrappy and athletic team. Makes for long and entertaining rallies. With all the front row action, Lexi maybe being over-looked a bit. She continues to play impressively. We have a deep bench in 2022. We could return two of our four seniors if they choose to. Plus add four high caliber scholarship players. The portal and NIL will be factors for the Huskers in 2023. The math to 12 in 2023 is Texas-like for this fall of 2022. It is fuzzy math for the Longhorns of this fall but NIL and the rules aren’t catching up yet to current conditions. We could have 7 or 8 pin types, 3 or 4 middle types, 3 setters and 2 Libero/ds types of definite scholarship ability. Only one of those came here as a definite walk-on. So many quality players who JC and company should try to incorporate into varying playing roles as much as possible. The more experience in the program, the easier it is to be ready to play. Injuries this year, so far, has effected two players in substantial roles. Four top recruits will be itching to play and compete in 2023. Nebraska should really try to play more than the basic standard of nine players. You are limited by a definite finite number(15?) of substitutions in every set. The key is cohesiveness and playing as an integrated one. Nebraska could be so hard to prepare for. A nightmare for the competition. Look at Maggie this past match and the ensuing weeks to come. When is Ally coming back? Where will so and so be playing. Lol. Is it possible to move players around and be immediately a positive factor in that next match? So much fun as Husker fan to think of the possibilities. But the key always is to peek in December in the NCAA tournament.

Finally went to a game this year! Couple thoughts:
1.) In person, I’m just excited to be there, feels like I appreciate the game more.
2.) Even tho we aren’t setting Hord nearly as much as I would like, she takes so much pressure off our outsides. Fun to see her decoy.
3.) Rodriguez was back at it, just so impressive.
4.) Wish our student section could all sit together. But you know money.
GBR!!

Knuckles 8 attempts, 2.63 / 75 GP%
Kubik 24 attempts, 2.54 / 75 GP%
Rodriguez 12 attempts, 2.58 / 83.3 GP%
and Hord got 4 kills...
For those of you who aren't number nerds, those are VERY good passing stats. No excuse. We need to figure out how to get her the ball more and set her properly. She's such a beast if we can get our act together.
Breakout match against Stanford? I'd be here for it lol

Nebraskans found out in stark detail this weekend that in Nebraska you get what you earn…not what someone’s perceived potential is or what the “experts” who never see a practice believe should be the truth. Its all silly actually. Nebraska setter’s routinely take the court 45 minutes before each match, and this year that means all 3 Nebraska setters, to complete ten or twelve minutes of setter drills. Orr has not missed these pre match drills before any of the seven matches so far this season. She has not once appeared hurt or limited, nor do I believe she is.
Cook has gone out of his way to make sure every player on the team see time on the court. . . He even started Mendelson yesterday as an OP in the 6-2 with very limited practice to keep her involved. Everyone that is except for Orr. The only thing Cook continues to say is that she is “not consistent”. Actions trump words, but Cooks words are revealing. I was pulling for Orr to get a shot on the main stage against Stanford or the asterisk team from Kentucky, but that does not appear to be in Cook’s plan. Cook puts a premium on how a player performs during practice, and players are rewarded with court time during matches. The end of the non conference is upon us and it does not appear Orr is part of the plans going forward. At Nebraska, you get what you earn-as Scott Frost and Mickey Joseph found out today. Of course, maybe Orr the secret weapon being held in reserve if the switch back to the 5-1 is made… we’ll see how it goes 🏐
