Wait, where is Talita going? I like her. wanted Kerri & April to win Bronze, but felt bad for Talita. Best Olympian that I've watched the last few Olympics that came away empty every time. The downside of that is that is she was in the May/Walsh Era and she had to come across them before the medal rounds each time. I imagine Larissa & Talita will continue on the Brazilian tour until their Family comes along. I think Talita was the reason they didnt medal this time. She dragged the team down. Even if it meant playing with a slightly lesser partner, I'd like to see Larissa play with someone fearless. Also why cant Larissa's wife have the baby?

Couple days ago Patterson posted a blurb about getting dumped by his partner on instagram(Picture of him and obama). Anyone know more info on that or potential next partnership for him or Gibb?

Gibb dumped Patterson?
If that's the case he probably had enough of his antics. Gibb and Patterson are each other's best option at this point of their careers I think. Especially Gibb unless he plans to go back with ROsie just for old time's sake.

Does USA Volleyball ever get info out about it's players like that? Kind of a way for fans to stay updated.

I was just reading through one of Patterson's Instagram posts and he confirmed he is definitely currently searching for a partner! I don't know if I am completely surprised by this though...

I wonder if we are now in a situation similar to when Todd etc. came up. A lot of dominant older guys were retiring and the younger players looked lacking. Then once the younger guys (Fonoi, Blanton, Todd, etc.) had some space to breathe, they grew into being the top guys.
Glad Casey/Jake are done, always found that team boring,

I never enjoyed watching them play - I could never put my finger on what it was, I just found them incredibly boring.

So if you could pick the new partner for Gibb and for Patterson. Who would it be?
Do you think Phil and Nick will stick together next year?

He needs someone who will score points and they had good chemistry before (when Ryan was a much weaker player - and when Casey was a stronger one to be fair) For Jake, maybe he and Hyden team up to try for an 80 year old victory? Not sure what Jake wants to do but would love to see him with someone young and dynamic. Either Crabb or Tri would be interesting, but it will probably be John Mayer

We'll see with Gibb, but his play as of late really leaves a lot to be desired. Love his legacy but he was really bad in Rio, for his expectations anyways.
