So,watching YouTube v.Croats and Robinson looked the best of OH I saw. Nice to see Jerkov again for a Cal fan. And Fawcett dropped the jump serve. Pity. I'm trying to find the link on youtube, but can't Do you have the link's address?

Yes, it was announced here a few days ago, and it was "Fawcette" then, too. Congrats, we get it. What a complete waste of time being a dick. You knew what they meant. Way to prove you know more about spelling last names. Back to volleyball now... Congrats on raising the level of discourse here. And I did NOT know, which is why I asked for some clarification in the first place.

Larson and Robinson were serving jump floats too. Robinson should be doing a float. Larson has one of the best top spins. I could go either way on Fawcett.

Does anyone know if the 2016 Olympics will have the usual 12-player roster or has it been expanded to 14? Interested to see if it's still 12, who will not make it from this roster.

So teams can still only bring 12 players to the Olympics? I remember hearing talk about it being 14. You raise a good point about Davis not being able to serve.. But I think it might be really risky to only bring one libero -a new one at that to the Olympics. In 2008, Lang Ping brought both Stacey and Davis and Stacey wasn't a serving sub.

USA defense was improved and I really liked how Hildebrand covered the court.. She reminded me of Logan picking up those tips and shots even when she was front row.. If USA starts to struggle with covering those kind of balls in Italy she should be the one to come on court even though she might be weaker in attack than Hill

Of course but Land didn't really use a serving sub, right? Stacy was replacing Glass, but after she served because Glass had a great floater..

If Kim Hill is not in the starting lineup in Rio, I firmly believe that she will be the serving sub. She has the best float on the team. Fawcett needs to produce or Karch will turn to Dixon, Hildebrand, or Hill in the double sub. Her spot is far from secure.
