In the SMU post-game Coach Cook, commenting on their busy schedule these 1st 2 weeks, said he: 'may need to play more players. We have more players that are ready to play...' (not an exact quote, but close). We'll see. Heard stuff like that before, but it doesn't happen. However this might be the deepest quality depth NE has had for a while. Also noted that Harper when asked post-game why she went from 3 rotations in set 1 to 6 rotations later, shrugged and said Coach likes to change things up. Two insights: 1) Harper is improving at press conferences (knew she would) 2) Coaches have prepared their players to expect substitutions. GBR! The post SMU presser hasn’t happened yet. 😀 I do think the “Thursday after Tuesday road game” match will rest players by giving Landfair and Blackwell the start. I think that is what he is alluding to.

There's like 320 D1 Schools. I have no doubt that Maisie could start at some of them.

There's like 320 D1 Schools. I have no doubt that Maisie could start at some of them. True, but that can be said about every player on the Nebraska roster for the past 15 years. The difference here is, any of the 3 L/DS ahead of her, could walk into 80% of the top 25 teams today and be their starting libero. MB has developed into a really good backrow player, but the other 3 are elite. A decade ago she would have been the first DS off the bench. The manner that Parra’s serve was returned by Lexi, Mauch and Choboy on Saturday was quite striking. 🏐

What's up with Beason? Is she injured? Genuine question, don't @ me She is refusing to stop wearing her hair in a bun.... when she goes with the pony she is unstoppable... she's putting the whole team in jeopardy right now. Nicklin hames stopped wearing her hunger games braids after her freshman season and never recovered. We need to get her to change her mind.

This actually a serious situation Nicklin hames stopped wearing her hunger games braids after her freshman season and never recovered. We need to get her to change her mind. Maybe she can borrow one of KRob's scrunchies, right bruinsgold ?

This is the same coach that said Boesinger was either 1st or 2nd in every passing category and had really improved, yet was clearly DS #4 in his eyes at the Red/White scrimmage a couple days later. JC just talks to hear himself talk sometimes. He was complementing Boesinger for hard work and improvement. Thats good coaching, recognizing achievement. As far as playing time, look who she is competing with. If she transfers, she will likely start at libero on her new team in 25. Complimenting,yes. At times, if he is complimenting you, that's your reward for the extra hard work and you are not going to start.

If someone complains about Bergen's award, just say: "Plus seven kills, leader in double doubles, and six aces." Clearly on some stats, Purdue's Anderson and Michigan's Burke did a little better. (edit) Also, competition for Bergen coming. Apparently Iowa has a setter who does double doubles and can lead the team in scoring.

Watching the serving by Minnesota and Stanford, I'm really happy we play both of them. Our passers absolutely need exposure to that type of serving pressure.
