This is the direct quote ‘ Half their starting team are transfers, they're fourth and fifth year players, except for Ella (Swindle), the setter who did a great job," Cook said. "So that's how they've been building their team, that's how they built last year's team. I like what we're doing. I like recruiting kids and trying to make them be great." Literally directly criticizing another team for utilizing transfers and here we are. Read that quote again and look at how many players Cook has taken from the portal the last ten years and see if you can figure out why the hysterics over literally the last 13 pages are hyperbole. I know you can do it. I believe in you.

you literally don’t do anything anymore except complain how much people talk about Nebraska lol. Literally the last 13 pages of this thread are about Nebraska, and it's hysterics all the way through. I don't think I'm your bad guy. but you’re doing it in every single thread lol. Not just this one. Also as you like to say Nebraska is “Americas” team. Ofc there’s gonna be a lot of discussion about them. Especially when they just landed a former first team all American

This transfer happened a couple days ago but anyone know Wrobel’s backrow ability? OSU desperately needs ball control help if they want to finish above .500 this season. Any good L/DS transfers who may still be in the portal or may enter come spring?

Not just this one I'm responding to the hysterics where the hysterics are being posted. You're not mad at me for responding to the nonsense. You're mad at me because I'm speaking truth. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Manifesting the Mendelson to Minnesota post tomorrow As much as I want her at PSU I think she would be a great fit at Minnesota. I’m excited to see her play no matter where that happens.

Haven’t you heard, any press is good press? The writing was on the wall for most of the season for Nebraska hate, the press conference was the tipping point

You have zero knowledge about what these women’s calculations were. 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… Lauren, stfu and keep your eyes on the road please 💀

Any good L/DS transfers who may still be in the portal or may enter come spring? Wrobel never got on the court in 2023 (injuries,etc); and had only six serve reception "attempts" in 2022, with no errors. So anything known would have to come from elsewhere. (12 sets played, four digs, 2 block assists.)

actually three! podraza was scheduled to visit Nebraska but committed before ever going Honestly I don’t think Cook really has any sort of moral stance on the portal. Historically he’s thought his recruited players would work out better than the available transfers, with a few exceptions that he gobbled up. It seemed obvious to me before and after the NC match that Nebraska thought the championship was theirs and it was just a matter of receiving it. I think he was just so gobsmacked by the beatdown that he started blaming literally anything he could in the moment (like the cold air in the arena). Likely would have had more graceful comments if given a day to compose himself Nailed it. Is there anyone on this board who believed even for a second that JC wouldn't take as many players from the portal, whatever that number turned out to be, as he could, provided only that those players would improve Nebraska's chances of winning? There is only one criterion in his mind (and probably every other coach at a top team}: will we be better off, all things considered, with her than without her? He was just letting off some steam. Sure, he's a bit of a whiner and a sore loser. But uber-competitive people are often like that, whether or not they have the composure, in the heat of the moment, to shut up, smile, and mouth the traditional cliches. A head coach who loses his mind/composure over losing on the big stage? If I'm a fan of his program, that's the kind of thing I wouldn't necessarily like to see but wouldn't mind very much at all.
