John Cook says Nebraska volleyball roster in better spot about one week before first match

In theory, the Nebraska volleyball team benefited from the extra practice it was able to have during the fall after the season was postponed until the second semester.

And while that was the case, it wasn’t as good as it sounded, Nebraska coach John Cook said.

Since August, Cook estimated that all 15 players have been at practice on the same day only about 20% of the time due to COVID-19 reasons, small injuries or other illnesses that are watched more closely now.

That certainly would be something to consider as Nebraska is about one week from beginning the rescheduled season with a road match at Indiana on Jan.
