If Landfair goes to Nebraska, I'll laugh especially after the whole "We don't recruit, we train" greater than thou JC spiel had BINGO I think you mean “Exactly, you nailed it.”

Real talk: what happened with the three of them? Orr had the ACL tear, but the other two had nothing happen as far as I know. Krause is solid I understand but isn’t playing like the top hitter in her class, right? prep rankings are never good. like Norah was 28 in that same class. I think the rankings have probably dropped off a bit in the last 3-4 years because of some changes in that field in volleyball. With that said, I think the volleyball rankings are good when compared to just about any other major sport. I think many posters here expect a level of accuracy that is unrealistic. Also there is too much use of strict numerical rankings (#1, #2, etc.) and no use of tiers similar to the star rankings primarily used in the rankings/coverage of recruiting in other sports. In football, the top 30-35 players are 5-stars. Yes, most sites will have them ranked numerically, but those rankings are not often referenced in recruiting coverage. So I think followers and analysts mentally assign much less difference to players with the star rankings than people seem to mentally assign here with numerical rankings. For instance, you seem to imply that #28 was very underrated. I don't know where the cutoff for 5-stars would be if they used this in volleyball rankings, but #28 would either be a 5-star or high 4-star. In any case, the player should be considered very highly rated with not a huge difference when compared to #1.

I think Kelly knows he's getting Landfair and wants to make it seem like he beat Nebraska out for her.

I don't think we really need Landfair at Nebraska, but I kinda hope it happens anyway just to watch Texas fans heads explode. 🤯
Team Chaos.

If Landfair goes to Nebraska, there's a good chance the #1 (Orr), #2 (Krause), and #3 (Batenhorst) overall recruits from the 2021 class ride the pine their senior year in Lincoln. And another touted player from that class (Lauenstein) will be playing for Texas. Real talk: what happened with the three of them? Orr had the ACL tear, but the other two had nothing happen as far as I know. Krause is solid I understand but isn’t playing like the top hitter in her class, right? Orr has injury history but when she played last year she just was not good. So many errors, double contacts, poor set location, etc. Seems like a lot of her issues came from her own head/confidence rather than having it be physically related. She ultimately was beat out by a walk on and Nicklin Hames (who didn't want to set her last year). I know injuries can be tough but Kennedi has never come close to being a high level collegiate player despite lots of hype coming out of HS and now will ride the pine behind Reilly, though she did a solid job as a serving sub this year. Krause was playing great this year prior to injury. I'm not sure why they'd throw in the towel on her playing leftside next year and opt for Landfair (who is great but I could see her addition severely impacting team chemistry since both Krause/Batenhorst wont see the floor). I think Krause has real potential if they keep her on the left. Her first 2 years she played out of position on the right and it felt like Nebraska just never capitalized on her strengths her first two years. This year they finally did, but she got injured and now only has 1 season left. Batenhorst has nice size but hasn't improved much over her career. She doesn't have the heaviest arm and she isn't a defensive or passing stalwart in the backrow. I thought she had potential to be a promising leftside hitter but she just hasn't developed a great arsenal of shots and has struggled with consistency, both attacking and passing. She was probably over ranked coming out HS but she just hasn't developed how many anticipated she would. Lauenstein was likely the most talented pin hitter out of the bunch and had shades of greatness her sophomore year in a 6-2. Extremely athletic, could pound the ball and improved leaps and bounds from her first year. She left the team after the season, got pregnant, and was replaced by Beason, who by all accounts was clearly the better player. Whitney is now transferring to Texas.

I don't think we really need Landfair at Nebraska, but I kinda hope it happens anyway just to watch Texas fans heads explode. 🤯 Team Chaos. I think Landfair at Nebraska is a big risk if I'm Cook. They have a close knit team by all accounts and a LOADED roster that should earn them #1 or #2 preseason going into next season. If Landfair commits to Nebraska, it means Krause goes to the bench after she was having a terrific junior season and puts another former top 5 recruit on the bench (to join Batenhorst, Mendelson, Orr and Pierce). Having a roster of really talented kids all sitting on the bench for multiple years usually doesn't result in good chemistry.

I think you mean “Exactly, you nailed it.” If this happens, I don’t wanna hear him open his mouth again regarding it

I can’t even imagine why he’d feel the need to go after Landfair considering the talent they already have on that roster.

Agree not sure Landfair would be worth risking team solidarity.

TayLa would really be the most random transfer to Nebraska but then I remember Kaitlyn Hord..
