How awesome is that! Kayla Banwerth is signed with Rabita Baku for the next three years, so she'll be playing with Akinradewo! Banwerth will get used to carrying the goggles on and off the court Excellent National Team Training.

If the Banwerth news is for real, that's great! But yes, I did wonder about Castillo (Dominican Republic libero) as well. I mean, she is arguably one of the top liberos in the world right now -- hard to believe, Rabita would have 2 international liberos (unless they really have a budget and can purchase and hire whoever they want).

(unless they really have a budget and can purchase and hire whoever they want). They do and they can. And you can probably purchase 5 elite international liberos for the price of 1 elite international outside/opposite.

I wonder if any of their outsides are considered elite (like elite salary range) -- Aury Cruz, Rachel Rourke (from NCAAs) and Horvath. I know their opposites are pretty top notch -- especially Skowronksa.

Rachel Adams signed with Tauron MKS Dąbrowa Górnicza in the Polish League. Kim Glass goes to Brazil and signed with Banana Boat/Praia Clube. Cursty Jackson signed with Nantes VF in the French League. They're also negotiating contract extensions with Jenna Hagglund, Brittnee Cooper and Kristy Jaeckel. Hagglund will be in Germany, not sure what team. [from twitter on 7/27]
