So anyone see Maisie Boesiger set recently? I assume she'll just move up into the "emergency setter" position? A 5'6" (Really 5'4") setter isn't what Nebraska needs. She was a good setter for NE class B high school, but not for Big 10 volleyball. If we need a setter, the portal would be a better option.

The real reason is most likely that they felt this system gave them the best chance to win. That drives pretty much every decision there. Yeah so what was the piece of data did that they had that literally every other Husker armchair coach didn't? Guesses: -The lack of knowing which two of the big four hitters were going to have a big night. - Not having a second hitter they could rely on playing 6 rotations (since Akana wasn’t there) - Never having a reliable middle connection, especially the amount you need to with a front-row setter.

With Evans transferring does this mean Orr will likely stay?

With Evans transferring does this mean Orr will likely stay? I would think so. Either they go to the transfer portal to find a setter and Orr leaves, or they just let Orr duke it out with Reilly next season. Or they find a setter in the portal and Orr stays, and they have 3 setters next year. Or...I have no idea! Obviously, a setter is TOP priority for next season. I just think about how much better this Nebraska squad would have been with a setter like Pukis, Blossom, etc.

Just a question, why would Evans transferring play any role in Orr’s decision? Baring another injury disaster, the best case scenario would be an open setter competition and she wants to embrace fighting for that starting spot (knowing she would be the underdog).
The writing on the wall is clear as day. The future is Reilly. The question will be whether Orr wants to embrace that competition or not (or if she’s okay being a backup) and I don’t think that would have anything to do with Evans.

But yes, we might get one from the portal too. If Orr leaves, we might go after a blocking/situational setter instead.

Could possibly go after Shaffmaster from Minnesota as they will have a new Coach. She will have two years of eligibility left. Reilly could redshirt her first year but again someone else would have to transfer out first as we don't have any open scholarships

If Nebraska's seeking a setter from the portal, I'd think it'd would be a grad transfer or senior-to-be. A one-year rental.

Its cuz Orr was predicted by many to be transferring out due to lack of playing time and just not being able to step-up. Orr would've been likely the third option again next season behind Reilly and then Evans. Evans transferring was a suprise as many thought she would've stayed as a walk-on.
