Yeah! Some of us want to try the Krause-Landfair combo! I’d like to see it for maybe a single game (especially if we continue to use two DSes) but Harper has probably been the most consistent player on that court this season (maybe aside from Andi). She’s crafty, killer on the bic, and passes and defends just as well as any other OH in the country. She’s also got a killer serve. We’re lucky to have her

Can ya'll quit with the "she isnt the player she was" "sHe HaS wOrK tO dO" agenda...dear god! Yes of course she has room to improve coming off last szn especially now at a program like NE and I'm sure she is working towards that, just like every player on the roster. What she needs is to ACTUALLY play. Not for a half set, not for just one set, actually play in matches. I would point out her good performance today, but I just know the excuses of Wichita being poor would come at me. She is more gifted than Krause and IDK what some of you are watching. I do think Krause is deserving of her time and does some things at a very high level (OOS craftiness, leadership, etc) I also cant help but assume a majorioty of ppl on the team Krause side are just in-state Nebraska homers let’s make one thing clear-there’s no Krause side and Landfair side…they’re both Huskers. Some are choosing to express their impatience, while others are showing their support in the coaching staff’s decision given they’re with them every day, train, practice, etc with them.. No need to make it divisive between two of the players.. Ok karen, but that is what it's turning into whether you like it or not. It's what happens in a sport like volleyball where positions are really separated from one another/scarce on the court. There is most certainly a Lindsay side and a side that wants Landfair to play. You dont need to remind me of that as if Im slandering Lindsay's name, or people are being disrespectful to either player. I think there has been some great discussion regarding a super important position and piece to this team. It is not all sunshine and rainbows. I agree that at the end of the day, ppl should just shut up and cheer for our team, but also this literally is what this whole website is for.

I'm impressed how often she can make a dig or get a ball pushed into a corner while staying on her feet instead of diving.

Yeah! Some of us want to try the Krause-Landfair combo! Idk if this is serious, but the issue with that is Harper is far better at volleyball than both of them and a main reason as to why we ended up in a national champiosnhip match last year. You also have to give her the benefit of the doubt bc unlike the other two, she can actually play a lick of defense in the backrow (and is good at it)

But you are sold on the player who has never played for you? As a Minnesota fan I would take Lindsey no doubt Of course you would take *Lindsay* as a bitter Minnesota fan because Taylor left your crap program last year Minnesota is surely not a crap program.

I see it both ways, and sucks to transfer just to sit, but the roster wasn’t a secret when they filled out those transfer forms. The season is still young and they might have a chance to contribute at a high level that isn’t slop work, who knows. And Taylor has the chance to compete for a spot again next year 🤷🏾♂️ This. Really not complicated. DI vball is like most other sports, namely a meritocracy. If someone isn't starting or playing it's because they haven't earned their way onto the court via practice & training. Coaches know the players better than anyone and are always in the position of best judgement. That doesn't make them infallible, but in general the players on the court have won that position. You are making too much sense here. Does not need to be a conspiracy or complicated. Coaches are paid to win and the best players play. Does not mean they can't be stubborn about making changes at times, but the best coaches figure it out.

We also have to remember that Lindsay has been one of, if not the most effective server at Nebraska’s line this year. She of course has other duties as an OH but Cook has always maintained the best servers will play 100%

TAYLOR LANDFAIR IS NOT THE SAME PLAYER SHE USED TO BE. WAKE UP PEOPLE!!!! LOOK AT HER LAST SEASON AT MINNESOTA. SHE IS TRAINING TO GET BACK TO WHERE SHE WAS. SHES NOT THERE YET. SHE IS HAPPY WITH HER SITUATION AND IS GETTING BETTER AS TIME GOES ON. IF SHE WENT TO WISCONSIN SHE LIKELY WOULD BE BEHIND ORZOL. SOME OF YOU JUST WANNA TRASH COOK. HE IS DOING THE RIGHT THING FOR LANDFAIR. SHE WANTS TO GET BACK TO WHERE SHE WAS AND THEYRE WORKING ON THAT PRIVATELY, RATHER THAN PUBLICALLY TO A LESS THAN COMPLIMENTARY FAN BASE. 😀 She would be behind Orzol? You lost me there. She should be better than .200 hitter Orzol as soon as she walks in the gym, no? I ask again, what is so different about Taylor now compared to 2022? I know her floor defense needs work to get to Husker level and they are trying to clean up some other issues. I'm sure she will continue to improve and may take over the job at some point, but Krause is bound to get better as well. Let's not forget Krause was the #1 player in her class and can crush the ball. The ability is there, but she has to produce. Krause is also our best server. I have to say, Landfair seems very engaged when not playing and seems happy and bought in, so I am not worried about chemistry issues. She may be playing the long game and is content to work on her overall game knowing she has another year to make her mark.

Landfair hitting .368 on her playing opportunities so far.
Some other stats:
Andi Jackson- 2.65 kps hitting .500 ! Bergen Reilly- 11.48 assists per set and 3.19 digs per set! Merritt Beason worked her way up to .225 after a truly tragic first 4 matches

What if… this was all apart of cooks master plan. Landfairs never been pushed or challenged for a spot. She thought transferring here would be a guarantee starting spot. Now she’s sat the bench for 9 matches and cooks lit a fire under her to bring home NPOY. I think I’m onto something here.

She stated after she transferred that she wanted to be pushed to be her best in a high level gym. You are right though in that she hasn't been really pushed for a spot for a long time. She seems up for it. Alot of players would have chose a different path.

Lindsay's overall play has looked better than Taylor's IMO. Also Lindsay has taken out the garbage to score key points. However, would love to see Taylor and Leyla get the start tonight. Taylor has had about -10 minutes to play… True, but there have been errors in that limited time. You are correct that it is too limited a time for a proper analysis. However tbe coaches have a lot more info to evaluate and I trust their judgement.
