USAV Tryouts in Omaha

[roofed!]

Did anyone watched the tryouts and who were the outstanding players?

I left before the tryouts happened, but I do know that the American Recht twins were in attendance. I heard that they are very fast learners and should be players to watch out for in the future. Good luck to them

The following was provided to me by a friend who attended the tryouts:

>Well, honestly, I thought they all looked pretty short. But I'm looking at

>everyone just looked a lot shorter next to the Recht twins. For instance,
>I had Masha Vaysburg at 6' or maybe 6'1, but Pacific lists her at 6'3"

>Nobody was head and shoulders above the rest. Its possible they worked so

REMINDER: I WAS NOT THERE AND DON'T KNOW FOR SURE HOW IT WENT!
