In class of great setters, Huskers' Nicklin Hames was one of the best

The 2018 class of freshmen who will begin their college volleyball careers this weekend had some good setters, Nebraska coach John Cook says.

But when the recruiting for this class begin to take shape several years ago, Cook didn’t know if the Huskers would be a player for one of those setters. With teams limited to 12 scholarships you have to spread out when you recruit a setter.

Kelly Hunter taking a redshirt season early in her career impacted Nebraska's decision to recruit a setter for the 2018 class. And once the decision was made, Cook knew the one he wanted: Nicklin Hames.
