Controversial thought, but assuming Landfair lives up to her potential (which I’m sure she will since she’ll be set by easily the best setter of her collegiate career) I feel like if Krause is 100 percent I’d almost prefer her in the front row as our other OH over Harper. Yes Harper still has hella upside and plenty of room to improve, but as of right now I genuinely feel like Krause might be a little more reliable in terms of offensive output. Harper still passes all 3 of her front row rotations and is the next best passer on the team after Lexi. She's a huge reason why Nebraska was the best passing team in the country last season, and probably will be again this year. Krause would be a significant drop-off in passing and would 100% be targeted in serve receive. Harper passing well while being front row lets them run the middle / right side / dump... Krause would put them out of system a lot more. There's enough offensive firepower already with beason, landfair, and Jackson - harper's ball control is an essential piece of the puzzle in helping them use those weapons most effectively. She's like a more advanced version of what McClure was for stanford in the Plummer / hentz / gray era. Didn't carry the load offensively but they dont win back to back nattys without her passing 6 rotations |

Host is a generous term. There was no security or arena staff to enforce any kind of restriction. The GAs were reffing, the rest of the personnel were coaching and doing their jobs. There wasn’t an overflow of staff to keep an eye out or ask someone to leave. We can assign blame wherever we want. I chose to put it on the KState program for not telling or thinking they didn’t need to tell their invited friends and family “hey, don’t record and post the entire closed scrimmage online”. Right. And then you pretended you have some kind of authority regarding whether the program is invited back again. If it’s that important not to have the scrimmage filmed, make sure someone is ensuring the scrimmage isn’t filmed. It’s not that difficult. I’ll take false equivalency for $100, Alex. Predicting an outcome is different from claiming to have the power to directly influence the outcome. |

Does anyone get slight Madi Skinner vibes from Skyler?

Yes Harper still has hella upside and plenty of room to improve, but as of right now I genuinely feel like Krause might be a little more reliable in terms of offensive output. If anything just have Harper play back row for her and that way the bic would still be a great go to option or if Krause has an off day or isn’t giving just start Harper instead. Obviously things could change by the start of the season and I would not be surprised at all if Harper proves herself. Her all around game is phenomenal so I know a lot of people will probably disagree which is understandable, just my slight preference. Either way I expect and hope all the outsides to get solid chances of playing time, Pierce included because she looks great! Interesting, but I just don't see how Harper comes off the bench. She is already a legit closer when the scores gets close to 20 and her passing cannot be overlooked. She is also like another Ds in the back row. She will only get better overall. I saw the K State scrimmage tape and it would not be a stretch to say she was the best player on the floor. Her overall game is tremendous for a true Sophomore. |

Assuming Beason plays 6 rotations and a 5-1 system, will either OH play much back row? It would seem that Choboy and Mauch are too good to not play, unless one red shirts. |

It would seem that Choboy and Mauch are too good to not play, unless one red shirts. Murray had better passing numbers than choboy last season so she would sit before harper came out. Idk anything about Mauch so im not gonna comment on her. Murray will likely have a shorter leash in the front and backrow if she's having an off-day, but she will play 6 unless her game regressed in the spring Are yall forgetting Murray passed like over a 2.2 last season?? Rubin is the only OH in the ncaa I can think of with better passing - and Rubin's #'s are up there with the very best liberos |

OHs'-TL/HM (Choboy DS for TL, HM playing 6) RS-MB playing 6 Set- BR playing 6 My biggest question is MB position Lib-LR They're both really good but redshirting the 2 freshmen is a possibility. LK will fill in if the OH are struggling or get hurt. If Mauch doesn't want to redshirt, she could be serving specialist for one of the middles. |

Not to stir the pot because I honestly think she needs the opportunity to bounce back from this terrible situation, but are we sure Harper won’t be required to sit out a semester following whatever are the legal repercussions are from the incidents? Mental health redshirt (if that even is a thing?) Maybe even a 10 game suspension or something? I MB wise, I don’t see how you keep Leyla off the floor, and especially don’t see a reason to take Jackson off the court. My first one out is likely Rebekah due to her offensive production numbers. |

Glad to see Kalynn's decision to focus on track working out.

Is it terrible? I guess I reserve terrible for when people get hurt. This just feels like dumb decision making, of which I’m guilty as well. She shouldn’t have been drinking and driving - at any age, but especially under age. That’s not to be taken lightly, but she was caught by the police, not arrested after an accident. She stole $70 worth of jewelry because she wanted the rings and she didn’t want to pay for them. Hopefully this shows her the consequences of dumb decisions and she chooses not to make them any more. Not necessarily because she’s “reformed” as a human being, but because it’s clearer to her in a way it never has been before that the consequences are not worth it. I fully expect for her to play this coming semester. I for one will not bat an eye about it, but I do look forward to the wailing and gnashing of teeth from people expecting her to sign away her first born child as penance. |

Well stated and rational comments, I think this is spot on. Yes,there will be wailing and gnashing... Reasonable minds need to move on at some point. |

I will also say there’s a ton of male athletes who continue to play with very serious charges levied against them. Not to bring up the double standard cards, but here we are… I hope my comment did not come across as forward leaning in thinking she deserved the suspension, just that I’m not sure how the athletic department responds to these types of charges. |

Agree, double standards are a fact. Very true,alot of unknowns still. The university will have their say and from there we will see. I would expect some sort of short term suspension and from there hopefully Harper comes back better than ever ready to start the 2024 redemption tour. Opponents may not like the end result. |
