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. 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. you think Evans would’ve been the direct backup? I can’t see her running a 5-1 for a T25 school, but I guess I’ve seen crazier things. I guess I’m saying Evans staying or not doesn’t really affect her playing time. The situation was beat out Reilly if you wanna play and that will still be the case with Evans gone. Not a big difference between 2nd and 3rd string if you desire to start.

How many setters do teams usually have on the roster? Three?

How many setters do teams usually have on the roster? Three? Sounds about right to me. Some teams only keep 2, and 4 is even less likely.

Nebraska could possibly get Lily Tessier didnt she leave Iowa because she got 6'2ed? (idk) I wonder if Allie Gray is a walk on option... would be in state tuition... Krause friend.

How many setters do teams usually have on the roster? Three? Usually 3, which includes one walk on. Sometimes it might be 2, with the 3rd setter being a hitter/DS or some other position that can transition into setter if there's fluky injuries.

I tend to think Evans played a lot this year due to being the only setter without injury struggles. This gave the team one consistent setter when Hames and Orr weren’t 100%….I too would think a portal setter addition may happen but I don’t see Orr leaving.

Unless the setter digs the ball, the MB has no business setting. Get the bleep outta the way!! Transition & get ready to hit. When a MB sets a) they set moon balls the way they’re facing (almost always), b) take themselves out of the play so the block sets up & c) risks injuring the setter who is coming in to set. I love Bekka but this is a bad habit that needs to stop or someone will get hurt.

I don’t know if this has been discussed but I have seen vids of Murray and I think she could be the next great Husker OH cause I just don’t see it for any of the girls on the current roster all extremely talented just not quite that elite level we are used to seeing think Foecke.

I think that is what we're all thinking and obviously hoping for, although you never know until they're actually on that husker court. IMO we haven't had a terminal offensive weapon in 4 years. (since Foecke) I think Murray, along with better setting (Reilly and hopefully Orr) are really going to change this big problem that we've had around. Just think, these last two years the setting, aka our overall hitting % was very sub-par, yet we still made the 'ship match in 2021 and finished 26-6 this season...Goes to show that yes, we were insane defensively, but also that I believe a prospect like Murray and the setting will more than change our program around as amazing as it already is. I also don't want to make it sound like it's all about Murray. More importantly it's the potential of how elite the setting can be next year because the setter(s) are going to be a big part in what makes Murray so good, along with the fact that with elite setting we could see a special side of Krause, Whitney, Ally, etc. that we haven't really seen, and that's not to say Nicklin wasn't a good setter, it's more of the fact that there's crazy potential in Reilly/Orr, for sure at least for Reilly but I believe Orr still has potential or at least we all should believe in her another off season. We'll just have to wait and see how she looks in Fall of '23 knowing she'll be a junior. This is all with fingers crossed that Murray, Reilly, and even Orr really do come through next season and are playing at that high level we know is possible. Could be a scary team next year and I think we all know that by now. It will also help that the freshman will be enrolling next semester and will be getting those extra months of practice. August 2023 cannot come soon enough!

August 2023 cannot come soon enough! IMO we have not yet seen the full potential of our sophomore hitters. Next year good chance we will have 2 six rotation pins in a 5-1 system. Krause will likely be playing left pin and she is stronger there. All 3 sophomore hitters have played rotations at both L and R, and demonstrated profiency from both. Krause struggled with this, but next year this will reap benefits, especially if she plays predominantly left side, which seems likely with Kubik gone. Where does Hayden fit in? I get the impression she is a capable 6 rotation OH. Can she develop past Batenhorst or Krause? Then there is Murray coming in. Time will tell. NE will hopefully develop better setting next year. IMO setting was not their strength this year and held back the hitters. Not knocking anybody, Orr still recovering from her knee issues and Hames appeared to be playing injured, especially at the end of the season. With respect to the incoming freshman, time will tell, maybe as soon as the spring game. Knuckles and Kubik both won starting positions for the Spring game their freshman year. However, that seems a bit tougher now, except Choboy likely as DS, and less likely Jackson at MB. Harper at OH, maybe but I think she may need more development to play 6 rotations, so yes if NE only uses 1, 6 rotation OH. Cannot count Hayden out, and I get the impression she may be 6 rotation capable. If Jackson wins a starter role at MB, that puts Mendelson in the mix for OPP. Seems unlikely Mendelson will not play a significant role in the 23 team. Ditto Allick. Very, very competitive gym next year at NE.

See "Ditto Allick" in last paragraph. She is very athletic, very skilled, very reactive and possibly a future NE superstar. The players have to compete for the spots. My expectations for starters: Krause & Batenhorst 6 rotation OH, Launstein OPP, Allick and Mendelson MB, Rodriguez LIB, Tobe Determined Setter. But I have been surprised before. So many potentially great players on NE roster starting in a month. Also be surprised if we see the 6-2 in 23, but again IDKS ... lol
