In what universe would Nebraska not be able to bring in a MB transfer? 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). They need themselves a Gabby McCaa

People brought up Landfair not having the good chemistry on/off the court with her team this year, prompting multiple posters to suggest that she would be more of a liability than an asset. I pointed out another gifted player who had a similar need for a new environment and clearly proved to be a huge asset (probably should've been NPOY) and a great fit. No two situations are exactly the same, we'll see what happens. Akana should've been NPOY? I mean her serve is great but is it that great?

I can think of a certain player who had intrateam dynamic issues at her last school and has thrived at the new one, cough back to back natties cough. Maybe it wasn’t Akana, it was the players/culture around her that were the problem? Just kidding! ha twins!!

With all the bad rap I’m hearing from the issues her former team had with her , her in Nebraska would be prime time tv for sure lol. Hard KNocks Nebraska Edition But the only team she has played on would love to retain her. Issues or non-issues included. Wisconsin would take her. Nebraska girls, I would hope, take her as a possible player of termination value. Her serving is a plus. Her backcourt play can be managed with substitutes like Mauch. But, at times, she could needed in six rotations in close sets and those over 25 points. I expect Nebraska to be better in passing due to more ds/lib possibilities. I do not expect all the pin players to improve just because of experience and another year of practice. But Texas sure delivered the exact time to dominate in serving.

Not sure the extent of the intrasquad discord, but Madi has said she didn’t have the experience after winning the title at UK. Had to find her love for the game again, and is thriving.

Hard KNocks Nebraska Edition IF she comes to NE, NE has a lot of depth at OH. Either she plays or doesn't play, but not the on court drama predicted. It would be a very competitive gym at OH, IF she comes to NE. You must mean “ off court drama”. Yes I can imagine it just ends up with someone who once was a starter instead sitting on the bench and that’s that. I know it’s not cool to say, but if it actually resulted in “ on court drama,” I’d like to see it.

Real Volleyball Mom’s would be where the real mess could be on display👍 For real, Real Moms of Club Vball would be great. Located in a highly competitive club area (Dallas, Socal, ect) with lot's of players moving teams and clubs poaching talent. "Thats Gold Jerry, Gold!" I’m prepared to sell the rights for this now ….

Landfair under Jordan Larson and NE coaching/training could be very scary, even if she's playing 3 rotations.

It makes me cackle that some people think she is going to make like LEAPS and Bounds, as if she was not the best of the best already at one point? LOL. People are funny

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". I can 100% be on board with Landfair being there for depth, which, given the departures so far, Nebraska needs, but Krause hit .285 last year prior to her injury which was far better than what Landfair did this season. We both know Landfair isn't going to take Murray's spot because her passing is too weak. So, given that you did watch every point of every set of Nebraska (I don't assume you did the same with Minnesota), do you actually think Landfair is a better 3.5 rotation option than Krause? Based on last year and the second half of 2022, I'd argue no.
