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. TayLa Ren has joined the chat. 🤣 God I dislike those Disney sequels.

Just give me a ring on the telephone when it's official so I don't have to read through all the other crap

TL will definitely help the passing ðŸ˜ðŸ’€ Meh. Nebraska was a good passing team on the season, one of the best in fact. The Texas match was a combination of Texas serving at an elite level and thereby totally mentally breaking down the freshman passers + Batenhorst. Harper was a very solid receiver for the vast majority of the season, particularly in her first year. Choked in the championship but she and Laney will both be better year 2 and we bring in Mauch who's an excellent passer to help where/when needed. I wouldn't extrapolate from that match that Nebraska has some big ball control issue. Legit question, I don't know enough Xs & Os to analyze it. Does Taylor make The Huskers materially better? Thanks.

Cinci is laoding up this year. They are going to level up for sure. They need Jordan Thompson to come back for her 5th year of eligibility

If you all haven’t seen, there is some Landfair transfer tea being spilt on the gopher page.

but JCook trains his players from Freshmen! 👀🤣 There's an old saying: If you can't beat them, join them.

Legit question, I don't know enough Xs & Os to analyze it. Does Taylor make The Huskers materially better? Thanks. If given the proper role, absolutely yes. What role is that? Nebraska lost two matches last year. Against Wisconsin, their inability to block/defend BOTH pins was the reason why they lost - Landfair perhaps adds a more formidable block than the current Nebraska OH trio, but that doesn't really help them on the RS. In the Texas match, it was their inability to pass the ball, plus a lot of things just falling Texas' way. Landfair surely doesn't help there. Nebraska doesn't need to reinvent the wheel here. They are bringing back the entire starting line up. If you were to replay that Texas match in literally any other week of the season, Texas' serving is nowhere near that good and Nebraska's passing is nowhere near that bad. That's not my opinion, it's just fact. A year of experience.... Nebraska is my favorite to win the title next year, with Texas a close second.

WAIT! What if Landfair has chosen Wisconsin after all but can’t join them in the spring because of academics. So she’s going to graduate from Minny in May then head on over to Madison???

That's not my opinion, it's just fact. A year of experience.... Nebraska is my favorite to win the title next year, with Texas a close second. Not really reinventing the wheel. Stop with the .180 career HP hitter on the left, replace her with a prior B1G POY for her 3.5 rotations (half a rotation in the back because Landfair's serve is gnarly). Everything else can stay the same. Opposing teams aren't going to be the same 2023 teams in 2024. That was the mistake people made with Stanford going into this season. I tend to agree with you that the national championship was outlier-esque in its nature, but I watched every point of every set of Nebraska this year and thus I have opinions on what areas we can get better at. It's not just a matter of "well just don't do repeat what happened in the natty match".
