Did you not watch LSU this year? no lol I watched like one match She is too short for 5-1 and was a liability on defense and especially blocking. She is pretty aggressive but not enough to offset blocking deficiencies. A good setter but I wouldn’t say elite enough to play 5-1

Getting the best players possible for each available scholarship is not padding the roster. It's a key part of the job. Just because you redshirt a player or they don't play much as a true freshman doesn't mean you don't have a plan for them. I can't understand the mindset of posters like you that every player should be starting as soon as they hit campus or that you recruit scrubs if you already have a strong roster. “Posters like you” ? ? ? wtf I don’t even know who you are or have ever had conversation with you. Don’t pretend to assume what I think please and thank you. You have had more than one conversation with me since you have posted frequently in the Texas' threads at various times.

A good setter but I wouldn’t say elite enough to play 5-1 There are plenty of 5’10” setters who run a 5-1 just fine. The problem is that she’s not good enough to run a 5-1. I get that she can’t get a block touch to save her life but that’s not because she’s only 5’10”.

You are right. Kelly was good enough to start that year, and Caroline was never going to beat out Merrit. lol, redshirting a player with the full intention of them becoming the next quarterback of your offensive system in the future, learning the hitters they will be connecting with, without the need to connect in high stakes games is not the same as padding your roster with high caliber talent and not having an immediate plan for them. Nice try though Most people involved in college sports understand that very few freshman are physically ready or proficient enough in their techniques to play at a championship level. The immediate plan for the freshies is to hit the weights, eat right, train on skills, and scrimmage. You are ignorant if you think that the plan is to start every freshman over an older all american candidate. Poor try.

I'm far from a fan of Cook, but the Nebraska poster makes a lot of good points. For starters, Cook is a very veteran coach that most likely had dozens of redshirt conversations with incoming freshmen. It's obvious that he was considering redshirting Jurevicius and that makes sense. If I understand the Nebraska roster correctly, she would have been at best the #2 pin backup and barring injuries, likely to get little playing time. So I feel certain there was conversation with her about the possibility of redshirting. Yes after 3 matches, she shouldn't have been shocked that she didn't play in the fourth one. I really don't think redshirting or not redshirting likely had much to do with this decision, though not being able to play a significant role this year might have been a factor. I would think a bigger factor is that she most likely still wouldn't start this season and could possibly still not get much playing time. Caroline herself said she was shocked when she found out in the article no? I’m confused as to why she would be shocked if cook had a conversation with her She was shocked that she didn't play in the fourth match, but wasn't shocked that she didn't play in the first three? That doesn't make sense. Also there is the statement of an assistant coach saying that redshirting had been discussed with her. I could easily believe that redshirting had been discussed with her, but she didn't believe it would really happen. Maybe the fourth game was the point where she realized that they were serious about the possibility.

i would guess from the portal. they've been hunting for a pin. I hope it's not the one I'm thinking about, she wouldn't look good on a losing Big 10 team It’s Danyle Courtley from Rice that’s going to MSU

I feel like michigan state is on the rise. They did not look AWFUL this year. Not good by any means but they looked like they had some promise Faded down the stretch of the schedule, but were a few points away from an above .500 record in the B1G and took multiple sets off Nebraska after being projected as what 12th or 13th in the conference preseason? Definitely need a pin and maybe a middle. Couldn't get consistent production on the left other than Holdem. To clarify, the multiple sets were one set in each of the two matches played.

I feel like you guys are letting vbDiva gaslight you into thinking they have insider information when they just have a lot of time on their hands to comb through Twitter and Instagram follows and comments… She seems to be the queen of "IT'Z HABBENING" without letting anyone know what the habbening is. I stopped listening to her when she said that Eric Sullivan was the new head coach at UCLA. Started a whole thread and everything

Would it have been more fair to her to play her in spot duty in a few blowout matches and burn her shirt? Maybe so if that's what she wanted. However my comment wasn't really concerned whether it was fair or not for her. Your post seemed to imply that it was only beneficial for her and seemed to ignore that it had benefits for Nebraska also. Of course four years from now Cook might have the opportunity to imply that playing a fifth year Jurevicius is unfair similar to his comments about O'Neal. O’Neal 6th year.
