NU VB transfer from Baylor

Yeah... somebody leaving... or not showing enough promise in practice? Who knows?

I hope she works into our system as effortlessly as Beason seemed to.
 
It doesn't hurt that she is also good looking. she needs to get a good agent and start making NIL money a la Olivia Dunne. I am just an old man, but I think our women on the team are attractive.

Who is slotted to take over Merritt Beason's spot? Is this where Allie Sczech will get her playing time?
Yeah we lose Beason and Krause. Landfair is listed as a senior who I think has a year of eligibility. The name slips me but we've got a freshman. Maybe this is insurance policy

18 is the max, I read that Cook prefers much less than that and since I don’t remember the exact number, I won’t say. I also believe it was 12.
 
Yep you can’t be a full time paid ass coach at a university and still play . Kelly Hunter and Reyes are working every day . I understand the Olympics but once she announced playing for the Omaha team I figured she was done.
I say good for her. Some people on social media, trying to throw shade at her she can always come back to coaching down the road, but the ability to play professionally is now and she has to take that.
 
Is 2nd team all big 12 that good?
Their last transfer was a former Big 10 Player of the Year. So she would be more in the range of the girl from San Diego State who was also an all conference player at her previous school. More of a depth piece.

We have five freshman coming in, a setter, ds/libero, middle, and two outside. Ryan Hunter one of the outsides is projected to be an opposite, the position Merritt played, but she is recovering from knee surgery so Sczech will compete with her for playing time.
 
Hopefully she is a stud. Nebraska has lacked a stone cold killer for awhile. I thought Beason could be that, but she disappeared at times in big spots. If NU finds a closer, to me, that will push them over the top. They are there, just need that killer to go to in crunch time.

Agreed. I doubt she is as second team big 12 and her age

If that was the case, why didn't they set her every single time when we were up 22-16 in the 4th against PSU? Harper is unbelievable, but still don't know if she is a stone cold killer yet.
Who the heck knows? Maybe the defense PSU was playing? She just appeared to be the best player on the court multiple times last year.

We wouldn’t be having this discussion if that back row spike didn’t have her foot barely on the line… When Penn State came back in that fourth set, Murray was in the back row. But even then, 1 inch between 23-17 and nearly impossible comeback by Penn State.

Edit: that said, you do make a pretty good point as well… She’s a killer, but maybe not Stone cold just yet. She can take over games and has taken over games, but that one got away.

She is our best player that is not the argument. I just hope she steps in as the player or we get someone that pushes us over the edge. It's literally a razor's edge on what it takes to get to a natty again. These ladies are all phenomenal, just looking for that X factor. We've just been missing that one piece that last few years.
