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. 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". Landfair needs to beat Krause or Murray in order to contribute to Nebraska. That’s not going to be easy.

Some key question on TL. 1) Is NE recruiting TL? Or is this just VT Spec TEA. 2) If #1 is yes, is TL interested in NE? Lots of VT tunnel vision that this a NE vs WI recruiting battle. 3) If TL were to come to NE and displace a current starter, what would that do to team cohesion? Could this result in a situation where an increase in the sum of the parts, results in a decline of the overall product?
One more question not necessarily TL related. Who is going to cross train at MB if NE cannot get a transfer at MB?

It’s going to be hard to bring in a MB transfer that knows they will most likely be a back up. Transfers want to play. Especially graduate transfers. The best middle in the portal is MM who is leaving Nebraska (guessing due to playing time).

Like are we talking paying a back up middle $20,000 or $200,000? Maybe I am a back up for $200,000 but if it’s anything less I would rather go somewhere and play. After college I would worry about making money and have no student loans.

Ames recommitting to TX followed by MM transfer were big losses for NE.

Or he could be pursuing but they ain’t fans of the eared-one. Either way, so far, it’s a pretty interesting scenario for NE.
