knapplc Posted August 12, 2013 Share Posted August 12, 2013 That's actually pretty high considering we have eight new faces on a team of 17 girls, and 13 of those are Freshmen or Sophomores. Quote Link to comment
suh_fan93 Posted August 12, 2013 Share Posted August 12, 2013 I can't wait to see how this new crop of talent does this year. I love Husker volleyball! Quote Link to comment
PaulCrewe Posted August 12, 2013 Share Posted August 12, 2013 No returning proven setter to lead the offense makes it a surprise the ladies are this high Quote Link to comment
HuskerVBFan93 Posted August 12, 2013 Share Posted August 12, 2013 No returning proven setter to lead the offense makes it a surprise the ladies are this high While not "proven" as a Husker, Pollmiller was the 2011 SEC Freshman Of The Year at Tennessee, having set a school record for assists. I wouldn't classify her as an unknown quantity. Having said that, I think the #10 ranking is more than fair. Personally, I think it ridiculous that rankings even exist before conference seasons begin. They're mostly based on last season as well as reputation. Quote Link to comment

While I won't argue her previous accomplishments, it's still a new system and new hitters. Things that coaches would consider in their voting as well a challenge for a team. Talent is there amongst individuals, but let's see how it comes together. A challenge that normally is not rewarded with a top ten ranking Quote Link to comment
Mavric Posted August 13, 2013 Share Posted August 13, 2013 That John Cook - he's sneaky. We'll lose a few but he'll have the ladies playing well. Quote Link to comment
knapplc Posted August 21, 2013 Share Posted August 21, 2013 They don't look so fearsome for the #7 team in the country. Quote Link to comment
