LC, Inky, Lowe & Lee together sound real exciting. Anae is interesting to me and worth a look. Can we receive serve tho? Against Trinidad, Cuba, and PR? Yes.

Will the Pan Am Cup also be streamed on Flo Volleyball, or a free stream?

Hitting the quick (and the gap, which we run very little of) effectively is such a lost art with middles these days. If we run in middle in front of setter it is usually a gap set. ?!?!?! Usually? That's not true. And I wasn't talking about how much we run it. I was talking about the ability to hit it.

Does Glass being an asst coach mean she's ruled out a comeback?

Except for three rotations you don't have a choice as Zone 2 is otherwise occupied, whereas the quick is always available. There's also value in forcing the opposing middle to jump and commit on the quick.. Hitting the quick (and the gap, which we run very little of) effectively is such a lost art with middles these days. I don't watch the NT as much as you, but I feel that's the majority of sets to Adams when she isn't behind. Fair to say we do not hit it well. Also fair to say Lloyd doesn't set it well.

I am stunned at the head coach choice... Should have just let Glass take the reigns. She has far less coaching experience. USA continues to have trouble attracting high quality assistants and other coaches. Mostly this is a funding problem. The full time head coach is well compensated. No one else is.

I would like to see Mitchem make this roster as she brings a physicality to the OH that the others don't.

Mitchem is definitely the most physical OH on the list. But I don't cheer for any team that has "USA" written on its jersey... a country of racists, bigots, liars and hypocrites with an @$$%*!* as its president.

She bested Canada's top scorer (Alexa Gray). Puerto Rico does a couple of things well (passing, in particular). They aren't the scariest serving team.

Very excited about this group! I know Karsta won’t be at full strength but interested to see what she has after being away for a year. More excited to see Lee and Anae! I’m a huge fan of both and hoping they can contribute. Inky!!! Nough’ said.
