Something that jumps out immediately: Gibbemeyer's blocking numbers. 1.27/set is an absolutely ridiculous number because those are just her blocks; she doesn't get credit for assists. She has as many as the other three middles combined. The attacking numbers for the middles, volume-wise, are pretty dismal. Dixon and Gibby are significantly less efficient than Akinradewo/Adams, but they get set more... Do you think the Stat base off the FIVB VNL is up to date? They have Gibbenmeyer at .56 per/set. I'll check back later to day and see if its updated. www.volleyball.world/en/vnl/women/statistics

I have Gibby at 0.94 per set after this week's matches.

Week 3 Team USA VNL Stats (Germany, DR, Thailand): Got out-blocked this week, but hit nearly .400. Oddly, this was the most efficient week for our opponents so far too, despite these three teams passing significantly worse than our other six opponents. Total VNL stats for all three weeks are updated too.

Gibby is out best middle... not really but dang she's fighting hard to get a starting spot. I hope she's not the next Barboza/Fawcett.

Murphy's numbers from a "per set" perspective are going to look a little lower because of the Belgium match when she dub-subbed, but yes, she's been bad. I wouldn't say that she has been "bad"..... she has been "murphy". Which isn't to say she isn't a decent international opposite. I would just hope that one of the top international teams in the world had a stronger starting opposite. Right now, I don't see the USA's right side being that effective or a threat unless it is coming in the form of a slide attack from the middle. I think the one thing that Murphy has never been able to effectively and purposefully do..... is tool the block. Watch in her matches..... as compared to other "smart" hitters. When outside hitters get in trouble with a misplaced set..... or they have mistimed their approach..... they usually try to use the edges of the block. You can see them purposefully aiming for high fingers..... or the edges of the outside hand. I saw Bartsch and Larson do this several times very effectively in each match. Almost every time I see Murphy either rushed or trying to hit a misplaced set..... she swings hard and cross court (and mostly into the block) almost every time. It is surprising to me that someone with her experience level just does not appear to have this skill in her arsenal. At least in my opinion she does not do it well..... and rarely tries.

It's the same shot she hits most of the time. It's just if we're in system there isn't a blocker there. We get in trouble against really good blocking leftsides (which the top teams unfortunately happen to have) because they can usually handle it when isolated. See the difference when 6-5 Martinez was up there for DR versus when Eve was.

I’m sorry if this is the wrong thread for this topic, but Hancock’s Ace/Error ratio seems really bad for someone that I’ve heard is on the roster for her serve... I would like to see her service points per rotation stat but I doubt anyone keeps that.

I would like to see her service points per rotation stat but I doubt anyone keeps that. Hancock hasn’t shown an ability to come in off the bench and serve well. She’s erroring almost a third of the time. She isn’t jump topping anymore, but she’s got a really good floater too. Just can’t keep it in play enough to make a difference.

I wonder if that's because she's been playing most of her career in Japan where she can just go over them most of the time... Either way, I know Murphy took this season off internationally to get her Masters at Florida. I think she's started to transition out. But we just have no one (that Karch likes) to replace her.

I know that Hooker will not be asked to play again for Karch but I'm curious, for those that watched her this year, if she is still considered to be a better player than either Murphy or Drews?

I would like to see her service points per rotation stat but I doubt anyone keeps that. Looking at the 4 week numbers it is glaringly obvious...... Opposite is our weakest position. The combined kill numbers/percentages for our opposites is the weakest position on the court. It isn't as if the USA system sets all out of system balls to the opposite either. Is it time to try one of the left pin hitters in the opposite spot?

Not only do they hit for a low percentage, but they're doing it while mostly taking in system swings. Imo, Drews is better than Murphy on out of system sets, but doesn't put the ball away as consistently as Kelly in system. Kelly struggles so mightily when set off the net, it's almost hard to watch. We have got to remedy this or we will be looking at a probable quarterfinal loss in 2020.

We have got to remedy this or we will be looking at a probable quarterfinal loss in 2020. We will be fine even if we still use the current players. We have other areas we could improve on that would help as well. I'm tired of seeing tips fall and if a player attacks the ball into the block, and it isn't stuffed straight down we should be able to pop it up and get another transition opportunity. However, I see many times these easier opportunities are missed, and those little things are what is going to keep us from going further than we did last time. Yes, our opposites may not be the strongest in the world, but it's not like they are terrible either. I feel like we are still trying to go too fast and in certain situations the fast ball to either pin doesn't make sense and rushes the hitter, but if you slow it down you face more stable blocks so I guess it's still a trade off.
