It may be petty but I'm glad that Nebraska and Landfair lost to Penn State. She abandoned her teammates to go to Nebraska where she didn't start (LOL) thinking she would easily get a Natty. MN was decent this year but would have been competitive with Penn State and Nebraska with Landfair. Traitor. Karma!

Minnesota's problems went way beyond Landfair, but I'm not sure she would have made them competitive. Now add Landfair, Booth, Chaboy and Wenaas and maybe. IF they wanted to be here. It does mean you probably don't have Grote and Aloweye, and Hanson doesn't get to shine.
Which is a good thought experiment. What combination of current and former (transfers/decommits) would give them the best lineup? I have to say, I'd start with Stella setting.

My lineup:
Stella setting
Hanson and Wenaas on the outside, Wucherer if healthy
Landfair on the right (always thought that would be her best position -- will she play there in 2025 for the Huskers?)
Booth and Minatee in the middle
Choboy as libero
Z as primary DS (but do they have her if they have Laney?)
Good enough? Maybe not. But pretty strong. Who am I missing? Shaffmaster could obviously have a role in there somewhere. Maybe as a front row sub for Stella. Her defense would certainly be missed. I'm assuming we don't get Grote, Thibault, Aloweye, Acevedo. Aloweye would be an upgrade from Minatee.
Wildcard is Wucherer's health. If she is healthy -- and she hasn't been -- that opens up the possibility of a 6-2.
