No shade to Whitney, but she swings much better on the right, and doesn’t have the shots that Jenna has on the left pin. She’ll likely have to battle RR for play time She was a left side attacker her entire prep career. She didn't play opposite at Nebraska in 2021 because she was the worst attacker on the LS, it's because she was the best attacker on the right side. Wenaas hit .200 for the year as a 3 rotation pin, if anyone is going to pushed out of a spot, it's her. Wenaas played all season. One would think she would come back better and stronger next year. WL was not playing volleyball games at all? Was she? So what makes us think the WL can just come back to VB and take a starting position?

As someone who just got into college volleyball about 2 years ago, someone with some free time...would love a detailed history of the Cook/Elliot beef. Even having only followed volleyball closely for the past 2 years, I know they hate each other's guts but I want the details and the receipts! Elliot stole John cooks chicken nugget lunchable (the one with the seasoning packet) and his cosmic brownie and it was on site ever since Man, I would cut someone if they stole my cosmic brownie. 😁

I'm not saying that Whitney will supplant Wenaas, I just don't think that a 3 rotation OH2 that hits .200 for the season is a player that should feel very confident keeping her spot...especially a spot on a team who wants to win a 3rd national title in a row. Jerritt Elliot may not be the best coach out there but he isn't dumb enough to think that the superior serving Texas had in the final week is something to count on night in and night out.

Is Ung headed to Tempe? Are the gophers making a move on Mendelson? Will Kjolhede choose ASU or TCU? Why did TL not meet diva’s prediction date? Can Texas and Nebraska stop fighting in the tea thread? Tune in next week. XOXO -gossip girl Is Kjolhede down to those two? I noticed she followed a few Kentucky players and coaches so thought they may have a chance.

I think I like what someone said about her being more about the family oriented, loving atmosphere that she believes she’ll get at Texas and maybe that was the REAL tea at Nebraska? Maybe her unexpected start to her family wasn’t well received my the Husker staff and that was more of the reason why they moved on than anything else? Just speculating though…

"this" offseason. You new? As someone who just got into college volleyball about 2 years ago, someone with some free time...would love a detailed history of the Cook/Elliot beef. Even having only followed volleyball closely for the past 2 years, I know they hate each other's guts but I want the details and the receipts! TX and NE are big rivals from the Big12. NE dislike of TX had a lot to do with NE leaving the Big12 for the Big10, but that was more about football. Most years, IMO, TX VB has had the more physical/athletic hitters, while NE tended to be the better serving and passing team. TX vs NE VB matches were often hotly contested matches with the Big12 title and NCAA tournament advancement on the line. Then Lexi Sun transfered from TX to NE. Followed by Davis, Akana, Caffee and Launstein transferring from NE to TX, with Caffee and Launstein throwing some shade at NE/Cook as the reason for their transfer. Then Ames (2024 #1 MB recruit) changed her commitment from NE to TX in late Nov 23. TX dominated NE at their strength, serving and passing, in the Championship game, crushing them. Cook was/is irritated, understandably IMO. It showed in the post game presser, although what Cook said has been blown out of proportion by NE and Cook haters IMO. Right now Elliot seems to be getting the better of it, but there is always next year, if they play each other. Edit: I do not think Cook and Elliot hate each other, rather fierce rivals. Suspect Cook and NE haters will pounce after this post.

Suspect Cook and NE haters will pounce after this post. I can give more of an analogy grounded in the real world. John Cook is like Emperor Palpatine. He took the best and most talented into his realm for years, destroying everyone in his recruiting path. But he did not count on the two rebel factions, Wisconsin and Texas, finding veteran Jedi masters to counter the Empire's spreading influence. Just when it appeared Nebraska had finalized their fabled death star, destroying the planet Pitt "Alderaan" Panthers, the heroes from Texas bravely lobbed salvo after salvo at what previously was considered Nebraska's impenetrable defenses. "I used to bullseye womp rats in my T-16 back home. They're not much bigger than two meters," stated Asjia "Luuuuuuuke" O'Neal right before dispatching Palpatine's/Cook's forces and sending them home. But in a trailer for the sequel, the new Sith disciple promises the Empire's return, to rule for 3 millenia. That's about as fact based an account as anyone could come up with. I'm sure of it.

I know she doesn't answer direct questions about her "prognostications". For instance she said on 12/22 that TL had "signed". I asked her, "signed what?" but haven't received an answer.

She’s right less often than if you asked a magic eight ball the same question.
