Mendelson started following Kim Mulkey? she started following both Mulkey and LSU’s WBB assistant coach who handles recruiting, Gary Redus, who just followed her back. LSU’s WBB team could actually use her size to add depth to their lineup for the position she plays, but I don’t know how good a BB player she is? I think I read earlier that she had trouble cracking into Nebraska’s lineup, so if she’s looking for playing time I wouldn’t think transferring to the team who is the reigning national champion makes sense. in regards to the VB program, LSU could use her to take over MB with Anwusi now being gone. and with all of the transfers out, there should be a scholarship available for her. She shouldn't be eligible to play for LSU (or any other team) this season, though she could receive a scholarship and practice at a new school. She was also a top prospect in basketball (have read she was on a junior national team in basketball), but don't know if she was good enough to be considered an instant starter in basketball. She wouldn't have even practiced with the basketball team as a freshman until December when the VB season ended.

Careful, they’re gonna start getting mad that this is turning into the GAY Transfer Portal Tea Thread, although using the word tea should’ve implied that lol

Drunk gay brunch posts are actually less annoying than reading pages of Huskers vs Haters bickering.

Many decisions are made at Nebraska without discussing it with the player. I don’t believe the staff believes they have to discuss coaching decisions with players. So, often times decisions are made without player input and the player is the last to find out. IMO, I don’t think redshirting her was ever a thought or ever discussed until after she got on campus and mapped out her coursework to graduation. When Cook realized she was going to be there 5 years, HE decided she would redshirt without telling her of course. HE thought that would be best for the program without considering whether she thought it was best for her. She wanted to compete for a starting position and that opportunity was taken away from her simply because her academics would take 5 years. They left her and her family feeling betrayed. Of course she and her family feels betrayed. You don’t treat ‘family’ in this manner. There is at least a discussion about important things like this. If it is tactical matters, like going from a three-person passing rotation to a two-person passing rotation, for example, I agree, the players really don’t get a say. However, when it comes to their eligibility and how long they want to stay? Absolutely the student athlete needs to be involved. He showed her what type of program he wanted to run and to be honest, was disrespectful to her because he didn’t give her any opportunity to give her input. Giving her input doesn’t mean Cook had to follow that path, but at least she would feel like she is part of the process. Again, just surprised that for such a successful coach like Cook, the lack of communication about something as huge as redshirting is mind-boggling to me. This probably broke any trust she had in him and his coaching staff. I also didn't like that Cook didn't let Orr play in the biggest game in volleyball/Nebraska history and then decides to start using her as a serving sub. Sorry to further the tangent but I wanted to get that off my chest before the New Year.

Sorry to further the tangent but I wanted to get that off my chest before the New Year. It makes sense that the coaches were also thinking redshirt as well. (But she probably didn't want it--makes sense if she didn't want to transfer to play and/or bother being on the bench for a 5th year)
