Molly sauer, Louisville just graduated libero, will be joining the national team in March in California. She was the on the jnt in high school and even though she chose a non power program, she kept up her play. 3 time acc libero of the year. This past summer she made the highest collegiate national team over many top liberos. Karch knows Molly and really likes her. She is the exact libero he goes for, fantastic serve receive. She has one of the best touches I’ve ever seen. I really think she could crack a roster coming up.... she’s fanstastic . She's been invited to the training block. Like Hunter, Albrecht, Abercrombie, Knop, etc. were last winter. Albrecht??? I never knew that. I fell like she could give liberona go on the nt. To small to hit.

From just watching Larson and Lee play against each other, man Lee could not consistently pass or defend. Larson’s ball control is far superior and I’m glad we have her. Even attacking, I think I would still go with Larson. She’s smarter and less error prone. Not saying Lee doesn’t have potential, but right now she would get served off the court on the national team. Why are you comparing a 22-year old rookie to one of the very best players in the world?

Like Adams, she'll probably sit most Turkish League games. Larson + KYK + Boskovic will most likely start. An interesting choice for someone pushing hard for a spot on the Tokyo roster. ^^^Standing by this. I love Gibby as a workhorse and a player, but spending her 2019 season (1-year-before-Tokyo season) in Eczacibasi has not done her any favors. As a middle blocker, she's hitting .270 on the season (behind all hitters on the team minus Guldeniz) and has only started in games against the bottom half of the league (see: Nilufer, Beylikduzu x2, Halikbank x2, Canakkale, Karayollari). Beyza and Busra are both outhitting her (Beyza hitting .320 and Busra hitting .330) and blocking at least as well as her, if not better. There has been at least one occasion where the team only used 2 of their foreigner spots, and Gibby still sat. Washington and Ogbogu are tearing it up this club season. Washington is hitting .400 with .64 blocks/set in the Italian League (Adams, for reference, is hitting .490 and has .48 b/s), which top to bottom, is a tougher slate than the Turkish League. Pretty sure we're all aware that Ogbogu is tearing up the Polish league (which is on par with the bottom half of the Turkish League honestly). 1 of these 2 players deserves a chance to start at the VNL - I don't see any evidence that supports them being a level beneath Gibby/Adams/Dixon, and their ceiling is so much higher.

Y'all can knock Simone's passing all you want, but she's going to be reeeeeeeally good at scoring against a double block by the end of the season. Here she scores the last two points when Beylikduzu (Hunter, Drews) took the first against Eczacibasi (Larson, Gibbemeyer, Boskovic) yesterday: That first kill was shmexy

Let me know when you feel it’s ok to make a comparison between 2 players.

I dont follow professional play at all. Are teams only allowed to play 2 foreign players at a time? W

This is the national team thread. Posting the TeamUSA articles is good for keeping people up-to-date with the team. It's part of what this thread is for.

I appreciated the post, as I don't follow all those other things.
