I actually suspect (no tea) that Cook asked Landfair to hold off announcing until today, so that neither could enter the Portal and he gets 5 months to try to convince one/both of them to stay Had the very same thought! Hate that for those athletes! But landfair committed to the team about 7 days ago. Unfortunately this doesn't work.

you think likely? I wouldn't be so sure I would be shocked if either of those two got benched but nothing is impossible Over Blackwell?? Have you seen her play. I would be shocked if she doesn’t start. Imo she clearly starts over both of them.

Let the Krause or Batenhorst bets begin! I actually suspect (no tea) that Cook asked Landfair to hold off announcing until today, so that neither could enter the Portal and he gets 5 months to try to convince one/both of them to stay if this actually happened this is SOOOOOOO fckn manipulative

Having less transfers is a flex? The smart thing for Nebraska to do right now would be to take AT LEAST one more because they need MB depth, and the sky won’t fall if you have more than 2 transfers. I think being the number one recruiting class year after year is very much a flex…

Hope this guy doesn't hurt his back carrying Cook's water. or his knees…… mmmm yes, love the smell of homophobia in the morning. This is truly the pits of hell for VT.

Not begrudging money being made by the athletes. I meant it’s a bit effed up that we keep on building and driving social media forward in the manner we are. We keep searching for “likes” and many, MANY people are beginning to base their self worth on things like this. Social media is now a monster … good and bad. I am just wishing this wasn’t how it worked is all. I find that interesting when you have 800+ posts on a message board. Likely this isn't the only social media you use. Clearly you see value in social media, so why lament its existence? Just because something can be bad doesn't mean it's inherently bad. I could cut your heart out with a spoon, but no one's lamenting the use of blunt silverware. Incorrect. It’s is the only social media I use and that’s probably just because I love volleyball. And I lament it probably more than a few just because of the destruction I’ve seen and how it’s actually escalating. I hope you are lucky enough not to be touched severely in some way as it continues to rolls through people

I’ve flamed cooked more times than I’ve counted
But he did lose two scholarship players, and one other player who would’ve been on a scholarship had she not been playing basketball?
Regardless of his comments, he needed to use the portal simple as that that. But the question is why did the three players leave? Of course they want playing time, but it seems like one of them had to leave anyways because they were over their scholarship count
Did he tell these other players? Hey I’m going to use the portal it’s best that you guys leave? Did they leave just because they want plain time?
If he “forced” them out that’s not ok. That would be using the portal in a bad way, the thing he complained about
If he did it, because he had open schollie and needed depth in the middle? That’s not as bad (I don’t think he particularly needed landfair but who wouldn’t offer her)
I still think he’s an ass and a hypocrite but the situation is a little more complex than I feel like any of us besides a few know

This year, he redshirted a SA without even discussing it with her, with no considerations given to her feelings or wishes or agency. . . so, this would not surprise me

You’re literally creating enemies and demons in your head about scholarship hypothetical for which you have no knowledge about. We get it—you hate Nebraska and coach cook. We nor he cares about a Hawaii fan who hasn’t had a good tournament run in over a decade… They want to play, they transfer because they know they can start at any school in the country almost. It’s simple. Most of them literally post on instagram about how grateful they are for the program and coaching staff…
