even with the current lineup and no excess subs we still can run out at the end of long sets I still think the 5-2 would be Nebraskas best option. let hames serve and play defense and put orr in the front. I guess it depends on how lauenstein is in right back. let krause play OH with kubik and get subbed or play 6. 6-2s are so hard to get comfortable in especially with the rotation setters and pins this year. orr in the front row would allow her to her focus on the two hitters with her instead of all 3, and we potentially could see more consistency in her sets. not to mention the ability for her to score some points herself on dumps. coaches have raved about her blocking as well. too late to do it now but ive said it from the start that I think cook should've given that lineup a serious look. maybe he did and it was awful. who knows could’ve been tough since imo kennedi’s best set is behind her. if the middles can’t run slides consistently then you take away kennedi’s best location editing also to add that even if whit is an option back-row, kennedi may not be as comfortable setting the back-row RS set (the D?) |

I know she is usually better at going behind, but if she were solely focused on the OH and MB sets for majority of the season, it could be a different situation |

While I can agree with you, I think part of the reason Cook chose to used Batenhorst is because of subs with a 6-2. but he didn't seem to care about saving subs when knuckles was healthy. and with everyone who consistently sees the court, what sub would they be saving it for? I dont think we're gonna see mendelson or little kubik off the bench unless an injury happens If the decision with regard to subs is Knuckles vs Batenhorst, 'spending' the extra subs to get Knuckles on the court is worth the risk of running short. If the choice is Boesinger vs Batenhorst, apparently that difference isn't enough to justify the cost. It isn't that "he didn't care", it is that the 'reward' changes such that the 'cost' is no longer justified. |

You could always do a 5-2 with Krause in for Lauenstein in the back row as a DS/D-Ball Attacker.
The problem with moving away from the 6-2 is which pin sits? Normally I'd say Krause, but she's been on fire the past few weeks.

Nebraska ain’t outta nuttin’ yet see …. we just gotta wait and see … see?
Seriously, they can win despite JC moving the lineup around like a shell game all year. I would actually love to see them win it despite the fact that people would hold him up as the greatest coach ever. He’s made a mess of it but the players will play for each other. They’re gonna have to because he is not done screwing around with it.

Where does Batenhorst fit into all of this? if we were to do a 5-2 one of the sophomore pins would have to sit, just depends on who’s hot right now. i’m fine with either one of the combinations batenhorst OH2 and krause OPP , batenhorst OH2 and lauenstein OPP or krause OH2 and lauenstein OPP |

Page after page of complaints about the systems being used, the setters, the hitters not terminating, the coaches not acting the way the haters think they should. Typical Volleytalk crap. The team was #1 in opponent's hitting %. Everything that the haters have complained about produced that result. The biggest detriment to the Huskers not winning has been service errors that have limited runs, especially after timeouts near the end of tight games.

The 6-2 provided playing time for 4 hitters. The positive impact this had on team morale will never be known. Also expect all 3 soph hitters to return next year, not sure that would be true if one had limited playing time this year.
We fans can debate 5-1 vs 5-2 vs 6-2, but the coaches have a lot more info to make that call. Highly suspect, Coach Cook would prefer to run a 5-1, so he did not choose to run a 6-2 without considering a lot of factors.

Northwestern fan checking in - thank you Huskers for Megan Miller.
Given Nebraska's trouble with setting, how much better would the team be if Nebraska had opted to recruit Alexa Rousseau (2020) over Kennedi Orr (2021)? Of course, hindsight is 20-20, and Orr was an elite-level prospect, but Rousseau looks incredible when healthy and her dynamic playstyle would seemingly fit in seamlessly.

Northwestern fan checking in - thank you Huskers for Megan Miller. She’s a gem, and I for one am thrilled to see her doing well. I expect she’s getting a great education at Northwestern to boot. No idea on your setter question, but those hindsight things are always intriguing. 🤷🏼♂️ |

I don’t know enough about Rousseau to say she’d be better than Orr. Orr has had an incredibly tough road and I will remain a believer in her. Megan Miller is a gem! Also if you have an update on Noordemeer, Husker fans have been curious of how she’s doing/recovering! |
