PaulCrewe Posted August 31, 2011 Share Posted August 31, 2011 Isn't it a little disturbing that Nebraska cranks out more D1 women's BBall prospects than men? Call me puzzled. Quote Link to comment

I'll bet Nebraska cranks out more top volleyball prospects than football prospects. Odd, isn't it? I know it's not like this all across the state, but my hometown has puzzled me for the past 15 years or so (on average): the guys have been extremely undersized and average-to-below-average at sports while the girls have all been tall and way above average at sports. It makes no sense but has been true nearly every year with maybe one or two exceptions. Quote Link to comment
HuskerFanChuck Posted September 1, 2011 Share Posted September 1, 2011 While I know the boys teams have some elite programs that play, the girls programs have just been lights out. How is South Sioux City these days? That program was a nationally ranked program for several years, and that coach had the ability to bring in players from around the nation to play for him there. But I'd agree, the girls programs overall in the state seem to just have that notch above the boys programs. Quote Link to comment

Seward right now is the South Sioux of old. Quote Link to comment
