The starting libero position is going to be an interesting battle next season. Before this season started I would have said it was Choboy's to lose. Now I'm pretty confident it’s Mauch’s. Inappropriate to the 2024 team, Laney, and Liv to assert who will be the starting libero in 2025. Why not enjoy the ride this season and wait until the end of December to predict next year’s starting lineup? It's never too early to start the "too early for next season predictions" thread. That is one of the points of having a message board...so fans like us can engage in meaningless, harmless speculation on all sorts of volleyball-related things.

But yes, enjoying this week especially. GBR. Inappropriate to the 2024 team, Laney, and Liv to assert who will be the starting libero in 2025.

While you’re both at it, ignore how players develop at Nebraska and forget about the possibility of injuries, transfers (unless your intention is to get Laney to transfer out of Nebraska by writing her off), and incoming recruits, cuz none of that happens. 🙄

Sometimes… we get insights into the delusion inherent in message board contributors as to how much influence they believe they have in the real world! What drives all of us to volleytalk? We simply can not get enough volleyball talk in the regular places so we return to this big swimming pool full of like minds and play. Nothing more comes of it. The culture of this team is separate from the culture of Husker volleyball nation! So… What does our 2026 team lineup look like? We better get some help at middle B!

Everyone is free to talk about whatever they want on here. I just think it’s premature to claim who will be starting next season when we haven’t even begun conference play this season. A lot can happen during this season and offseason (players develop, get injured—but hoping not, transfer out, join the program from other D1 programs and high school).
Speaking of next season, I heard last week that Cook is looking at raising the scholarship count to 16 next year to ensure all players are on scholarship and open the door for more players to come to Nebraska. I admit I was disappointed to hear Cook say Nebraska likely won’t travel far during the few matches they play away from the Bob during the preseason, especially since he made it seem like Nebraska couldn’t afford it with the added travel costs of going to LA or Seattle/Eugene each B1G season (or when he claimed all sushi in Palo Alto costs as much as Nobu lol). But hearing how Nebraska will fund more education, provide more stipends, and give more prospects the opportunity to compete, develop, and train in one of the toughest gyms in D1 was certainly nice to hear!

He also said that schools would be hit with a $23 Million bill. I assume he was referring to the House Settlement.

I'm assuming House Settlement too but it's in jeopardy right now.

#2 seems right on. 1 bad loss aside they look to be playing better than anyone besides the juggernaut that is Pitt. Congrats Huskers

That's a pretty good non-conference, beating three of the current top six, and only dropping two sets in the process.

But also I think we wouldn’t be the team we are without the loss. If we pull it together and win a NC, teams will be attempting to lose to unranked team on their home court lol (Maryland/Wisconsin 2021, LBSU/Texas last year). Also thank you for saying something nice, I know that was hard

That bad loss just gets more and more puzzling lol. It looks like they saw an unranked team amidst a bunch of ranked teams, overlooked them after a long holiday weekend, and paid the consequences. SMU is a good team. I haven't verified this, but I read they start six sixth-year players, and the first two off the bench are a sixth year and a true senior. That's a ton of experience, and a team that (as we saw), wasn't there to just roll over and take a beating. But, as you said, maybe that's the spark that lit this bonfire. If so, that's perfectly fine. Undefeated seasons are overrated. A wide awake Husker team not taking anyone for granted is a fun thing to watch.
