I know a few people from Waverly and even though Lincoln is only 10 miles away a lot of them are uncomfortable in “the big city.” It’s odd to me. Where do you come up with this goofy crap? Maybe the fact that you know them makes them as odd as you are. The majority of people living in Waverly work in Lincoln They may prefer living in a small town, but are not uncomfortable in Lincoln.

My comment was based on jwvolley’s starting lineup prediction listing first year Murray over third year Batenhorst Why would you think that jwvolley sets the starting lineup or knows who is going to prevail in the gym? Note the word “prediction”

Next year will be interesting it’s hard to imagine what the line up will be with the depth on the bench Common knowledge will lead one to think that a school or business that attracts the most talent initially, then weeds out a few who aren’t working out real well, and then search and find the best talent available from other top programs or organizations, should be the very best at what they do. Meaning out-perform the others - especially compared to a group that sticks with their own, works to develop whatever talent they have within their people, and just does the best with whoever they promised opportunities to. Or does anybody still do that?

The players at the very top schools are under tremendous pressure and have to have an extraordinary focus and commitment to volleyball that the vast majority of fans cannot fathom. It should not surprise us that most cannot sustain the focus and commitment of a Jordan Larson or Mikayla Foecke. For many, this is not the fun they had competing and succeeding in high school and club. You have concluded this from a rumor that has been heard by somebody that doesn't care for Husker VB? Point out one game that a not sick Whit wasn't smiling and super hyped. She always got her money's worth on every ball set to her and she always served fearlessly. Why don't we just wait until there are some actual facts before deciding that the game is causing her to have mental health issues. I did not interpret this as a mental health issue. Rather playing volleyball at NE requires a huge commitment of time and work. Whitney is a very hard worker, no doubt about that. However she may have other priorities that are getting crowded out. If she leaves the team she owes no one an explanation. Confident she will achieve success whatever she decides.

Any idea if she’ll be there in January? I’m assuming so?? Yes. She's already signed.

This is where you put your fingers in your ears and go "La, la, la, la, la" really loudly. Candlestick creating all kinds of discord. What a shocker.

I heard if Whitney is done at Nebraska she is done with volleyball, not going in the portal…time will tell. Why in the world is she? She has the potential to be fantastic? What is happening?

This is where you remember all the things that happened to Simpson and stop callously using her to further your grudge. LOL. Wow, this is peak sanctimony, and how horrible of you to use that to try to evade responsibility for your own hypocrisy. Hoolie/chas would be proud. Cook is a huge hypocrite for getting on a high horse about Flory denying a release, and you all gathering your torches and pitchforks behind him just makes you look like tools. so you always coming on to threads and bashing cook when you never have any actual proof, just your disdain for the program and the most winningest coach since 2000… What does that make you? Lol Everybody hates a winner.

Soooooo excited about Beason. Was optimistic about Lauenstein, but if her hearts not in it (I know, just rumors at this point…) I wish her all the best and thank her for the insanely athletic attacks these past 2 years.

I hope Whitney Lauenstein isn't reading Volleytalk, but if she is... I hope she knows that there are a lot of anonymous, distant fans who support her no matter what. She doesn't need our approval. She doesn't need to justify herself to us or anyone. She doesn't need our affirmation. She is a freakingly gifted athlete, but her heart and life are so much more than that.

Love watching her play, and hope we get to see more of it. But will support her if she makes a different choice.
