A while ago I suggested that mr. Kiraly should invite Knop to train with the NT and folks replied: "I'm still trying to digest this!". LOL!. Look where she is - on the VNL roster. I told you she is a fighter. I think she's a baller. Maybe not the best passer in the world, but she can improve on that, I think! And what I think a lot of people are forgetting is that she was playing with a broken hand for the last 1/3 of the season. And if I recall correctly, she basically shut down Plummer single-handedly (pun intended) in the national semifinal. The championship match is another story, but again... broken hand.

Dannemiller, Whitney, McCage, Courtney, Wilhite I hope. Wilhite is certainly getting cut, I`m socked she made the list instead of Anne Mitchem. Tapp will get cut as well, McCage is stronger.

Fair re: college kids, but then what's the reason for the exclusion of Alhassan, Lee, Washington, Hunter, Sponcil, Albrecht, Snyder, Agost, Toliver, Nwanebu, Garvelink, Cuttino, Anae... Lee....seams like she can`t pass at this level. Just to have a idea, rumors is that Bricio is moving to Turkey and Conegliano wants to sign Brazilian OH Gabi ( or simply just anyone). Which means they have no plans to have Lee in the starting line up next season, if Lee stays she will just be a back up. She got plenty of chances to play but she was unable to perform well. In the Finals Game 1, Bricio was not playing well, she got replaced but with Cella and not Lee. In fact Fabris was not playing well as well and in the very end they replaced her with Lee... Maybe Lee would be better as OPP and not OH. One thing for sure, if she can`t even be a starter for a club, she certainly can`t be a starter for a National Team. She`s simply not ready. And if she`s not ready....all these other OH college girls might not be ready as well ( OH is very delicate position). IMO Lee should choose a lower level league next season. Or a mediocre team in Serie A1. Starting at a pro club is the first step for an American college graduate to develop. But she definitely has not developed the skills to be a starter at a top club like Conegliano.

Vandoeuvre Nancy isn't a person, but a volleyball club in France which Amanda Benson (Libero) is currently playing for. Thank you. I was thinking who got married? But I couldn't think of a libero with the first name Nancy.. too much to drink tonight.I don't understand what this means

Papp vs. McCage debates are a bit unnecessary. We’re taking about our 7th or 8th best middle at that point, if not lower.

FYI for everyone who was talking about Sponcil, she's on UCLA's beach team right now.

What would your roster look like? Albrecht gets cut after a one-week tryout before anyone else even gets back...? WHat do you mean Albrecht got cut??

What would your roster look like? Well first, this isn't a roster. It's a preliminary preliminary roster, an incredibly stupid concept. USAV threw out an incomplete cookie-cutter roster because they're playing catch-up with nearly every other country that has already released their rosters. Breadcrumbs. And they'll get away with it. If we weren't going to announce the actual preliminary roster because all of our athletes aren't in the gym yet and everyone hasn't finalized their return dates, fine. That makes sense. Logistics. I get it. But don't attempt to manufacture fake excitement around an event that you've done nothing to promote by releasing a carbon copy of the 2017 gym dotted with a couple new faces. Take the time and do it right. There is nothing exciting about this group. And let's remember: there are FIVE weeks of pool play in this new format. Five weeks. We're seriously going to send Olympians and other veterans around the world when we could be giving those valuable touches to new athletes? Instead our plan is to send them to Pan Ams so they can destroy teams 25-4, 25-7, 25-9 every match? I'm just so incredibly disappointed by the lack of new talent, especially considering the athletic potential of the recent class of NCAA seniors and the relative lack of success after the roster choices last summer. Washington, Lee, Alhassan, Snyder, Agost, Anae, Toliver, Garvelink, Sponcil, A. Rolfzen, Ajanaku, Cuttino...? Albrecht gets cut after a one-week tryout before anyone else even gets back...? No current NCAA kids like Poulter, Foecke, Lanier, Edmond, Plummer, Rettke, Lake, Hentz? That's the future, man. Just so baffling. One last thing: I hope Kadie was added because she has a future with the NT and not because we're hosting the first weekend in Nebraska. It was absolutely a mistake to cut her from the gym so early last summer, so I hope she's going to get a real shot now. Amber deserves one too, IMO, especially if players like McCage, Dannemiller, and Whitney keep making "rosters." Only 7 athletes of color too, btw. We took 8 to London... on a 12-man roster. Jordyn Poulter was invited to train with the National Team this summer. Classes are still in session at U of I . I believe finals end May 10-11th
