[GM_Tood]

LINCOLN — The Nebraska volleyball program received an early Christmas gift Wednesday that will help bring talent and experience to a young roster.

All-Southeastern Conference outside hitter Kelsey Robinson, who left Tennessee at the end of this season, confirmed Wednesday afternoon she will be transferring to Nebraska to play in 2013.

This is a huge get IMO! I may have to rethink my "way to early prediction for 2013".

Welcome Kelsey!

Excellent news. Welcome to Nebraska, Kelsey.

She would need to sit out a year...right?

Nope, she is good to go for 2013 with UT granting her release.

Why'd she leave?

There are 4 Tenn players leaving the team/transferring. The rumor is they did not get along with the coach.

Are volleyball rules different than other sports? If she played in 2012, how can she play for us in 2013?

Correct....the transfer rule for volleyball is different. You get a waiver from your old school and you can play the next year at the new one.

I'm pretty sure I read that they are preparing Alexa to take over that role.

Yeah, I think she will set for the Spring. My guess is that one Hunter gets on campus in the Fall it might change.
