Dani Busboom Kelly Reveals Major Nebraska Volleyball Stress Just Days Before Big Ten Season

“We got tested, and kind of felt some pressure, which was amazing going into next week,” Dani Busboom Kelly said after the Alumni Scrimmage. After watching the entirety of what Ally Batenhorst put as Nebraska’s “huge” roster in action at the Red-White Scrimmage, DBK handpicked eight players to go up against the alums, and the results definitely helped her.

“We got to see a lot of different players step up in that pressure. It really helped us figure out who we’re going to start,” Coach Kelly said during the post-match interview. Bergen Reilly, Rebekah Allick, Andi Jackson, Virginia Adriano, Harper Murray, Taylor Landfair, and Laney Choboy made up the main squad. Meanwhile, Olivia Mauch and Teraya Sigler were the subs. Yet another dilemma persists.

The head coach was honest while discussing how she will find the space to give so many talented players enough court time throughout the season. “I’m very transparent with our team that this is something that stresses me out. I want nothing more than to see all of them play. They’ve all earned it,” Dani Busboom Kelly admitted during her chat with Huskers radio.

“But the bottom line is we can only write down seven players on the lineup. There are only so many points in each game to play different players and to experiment,” the volleyball coach explained. So, DBK is working to ensure that everyone on the squad understands that success is a long-term endeavor and that by the end of the year, their roles could change or evolve.
