VT isn't even that bad. But still, I don't think players should be actively reading it during the season at least, probably during their career. Social media (which most of these athletes are on IG, maybe facebook).. is so much worse than VT. It's kind of crazy when anonymous trolls on VT aren't as bad as some of the people with their real accounts on social media. The sadder part is that it is way worse in other sports What you guys are calling sad, I'm calling the natural consequence of social media. We evolved to participate in small tribes of dozens at the most. We figured out how to expand our collectives to thousands, hundreds of thousands, millions, hundreds of millions, and now even billions through shared mythologizing. But we didn't evolve to participate with each other in this way. The way we interact with each other would have severe and immediate socialization consequences in smaller groups, to the point of being killed or thrown out of the tribe. That's not the case in our current state of communication, but we'll still change our tack in the aggregate if there's a threat we'll be thrown out of our identified tribe. Mostly signaled by being even more aggressive towards an enemy tribe. And saying that it's way worse in other sports ignores the other realms where it's even worse than sports.

The "natural consequence" of something can still be sad.
And I don't think anyone is "ignoring" anything -- given volleyball is a sport, discussing social media in other sports seems like the most apt comparison.

5 yr old issue not related to WL transfer. No longer relevant except NE haters never forget. Oh well ... You spent over half a page guessing and speculating about WL and now your sprint away barely forming a single cohesive sentence. No hater here, I like watching Neb play and lots of respectable and informative Neb posters here. But my oh my a few of their fans are something else. Tsk tsk. I inially responded to a poster that implied she transferred to TX because she got more support there for her family than at NE. That was just not true. She quit NE before she knew she was pregnant and her "disrespect" for Cook was not the result of a single event, but a growing issue with her, that culminated around Thanksgiving 2022. Then you imply that it had something to do with a commitment withdrawal in 2019. That too is untrue, and actually far fetched. That had no impact on Whitney as a NE VB player.

You said yourself you were “guessing” and “speculating” on and on and on for paragraphs. So you’re in no position to “true/false” anything.

You’re just ignoring that endsley’s scholarship offer was pulled by the program, or changed? this is unbearable omg lol. im not out here defending Nebraska dude what im saying actually makes them look worse than pulling a scholarship.... im simply saying that I heard a VERY different story than just her scholarship was pulled and thats why she left. there was wayyy more to it than just that. im not ignoring anything but my source on this situation is about as close as they could be without actually being endsley herself. maybe im wrong but it would have been quite the extravagant lie to make up My understanding was that Endsley's 4 year offer was rescinded to two. This was because Endsley had not progressed in her junior year as much as the potential she showed earlier on and Nebraska wanted to keep their options open. At the same time, other Nebraska player(s) in the pipeline had interpersonal issues with Endsley that manifested during a couple of youth meetups. Endsley then made the decision that Nebraska wasn't for her and opened her recruitment back up.

hasn’t he thrown shade at this forum before for being mean to his girls? Call it shade-throwing if you want. I'm on his side on this one. I've been less destructive ever since his X. Thank you, Sheff, for sharing your moral compass and setting the bar so high.

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. Even during the holidays, you just can't help yourself with the jabs . . . You think I should change how I post about someone on Volleytalk just because of the time of year? Sorry to disappoint you (well, actually I'm not), but that sounds pretty silly.

Everyone's memory is slightly off a year or so. I think Cook actually dropped Endsley's offer down to only 1 year when she was a Junior because he needed that scholie space to offer to Lexi who was leaving Texas around that time. Also getting Battenhorse to commit took up any open space as well. With the Cook-San Diego connection I am sure there was a lot of early conversations between NEB-Sun-and maybe Coast. Those of us watching it played out back then was curious as to where the club's loyalty was? After all that is also where Maddi was also playing club, a couple years behind Lexi. The talk about personalities and team conflicts never came to light during that time. Cook had an opportunity to go after what he wanted and who he saw as a better player in Lexi. So he went back on his offer he made to a 14 year old girl who he saw as not developing into a better player than Lexi Sun was and could be. I think it was as simple as that. I would also say Maddi had a better experience for herself at UW and found her success there. Better than at NEB where she may not have ever seen the floor? considering the talent that was there and that was then recruited after. I remember that she played really well in the Covid bubble tourney year and made it to the final four with a really good UW team.
