Message: [QUOTE="bballnut90, post: 4824203, member: 2117"] I've been a Cook defender on other instances but the pettiness on claiming Nebraska recruits players instead of relying on transfers/5th year players is just laughable. His best player (Merritt Beason) is an upperclassman year transfer from Florida, and needed to bring her in as a developed upperclassman since his own top 5 recruits (Batenhorst/Jurevicius/Krause) weren't getting the job done. Not to mention last year he brought in Kaitlyn Hord who was unbelievably decorated and pretty much wasted her 5th year, failing to utilize her well. Not to mention he's heavily relied on other transfers in Brionna Holman, Lexi Sun, Kayla Caffey, etc. No need to make that comment, just congratulate Texas and move on. Looking at the match, it was pretty mindboggling what Texas pulled off this weekend. Everyone was predicting a Nebraska/Wisconsin rematch and Texas came in and smoked both teams. It looked like freshman volleyball where the Horns would reel off 11 point runs and finished the matching winning 15 or the last 16 points. You just don't see that level of serving and awful passing at this level. Skinner was out of this world too, Nebraska threw up triple blocks and she effortless hit over or around them. She was almost more effective out of the backrow than the front. People also trashed their freshman setter and other outside (Wenaas) all year for not appearing up to both, and both showed up in a huge way and deserve their title. Great play from Texas and a well deserved title. At first glance it looks like Wisconsin/Texas/Nebraska/Pitt/Louisville will be the obvious title threats going into next year. Stanford/Oregon/Tennessee/Arkansas should drop off considerably. [/QUOTE]
