Klineman has a lot of work to do in the gym. She has an arsenal of shots, but needs to bulk up a lot before being the phenom that we are hoping for. Seriously, we have Tomes in the middle. Wilkins who is a liability on defense and offense now. I think our JNT would give this Pan Am team a run for its money. Really.

There is truely one veteran on this US team. Most of the other players are at the junior level of other countries.

Without the veterans coming back to this team especially on the left, they are going to have a hard time qualifying. This will be one of the most disappointing quads ever if the women fail to qualify. I don't think this is where the "big wigs" USA Volleyball thought our women's team would be at this point 12 months away from Bejing, playing with a young lineup and getting spanked by a junior team from Brazil. Klineman has too much hype. She is good but is not even proven on an international level. Match experience is crucial for her and she will not even be close to being ready for Bejing on the leftside. Our men's team is proving to make some big strides in the World League and going in the right direction.

No, wait until Hugh and the US uses an actual starting line up, instead of using 10-11 players per match, often different line ups every night, and you will see this was NOT a fluke for the men.
