Right now it looks like travismewhirter and Kyle Friend are playing in the NORCECA same weekend as NYC. That would open Myles and, more importantly based on points, Duncan. Interesting note on Duncan though, He hasn't played on the East Coast since 2012. Pretty sure Duncan moved to CA this year from CO so he's more all in than in years past as seen by his participation in first two tournaments. Would like to see him with Beranek, why not?

It'd be great to see Duncan and Miles get a WC. But probably won't happen.

I'd like to see Beranek with a guy like Trvin or Travis. Seems like he is a really up guy, and Hagen's antics at HB were bringing him down. I know you guys will punish me, but I think Irwin and Travis both have more upside long-term than Hagen. Eric played with Travis in a NORCECA qualifier earlier this year and just played okay. I like Travis but I think Eric can do better.

Travis partner Myles still hasn't learned how to play with more passion, with more fire. If you could combine Zaun and Myles temperaments, you'd have nearly perfect player.

That makes a lot more sense. I was wondering why the sudden enthusiasm for Myles. Doubt it happens though, unless Donald really wants to F with Billy

While I completely understand Sun's position, two tournaments seems fair, since they didn't enter Huntington, Austin and NY should suffice at max. Let Miles play with another guy, possibly realize Billy is an average player whereas Miles has an opportunity to become much more.

Haze - maybe I am getting jaded because I have purposely not watched other matches in order to see Sinjin's kid play, but it seems to me like he is kind of spoiled/entitled. Struts around making a big production about everything, and appears to have that "I'm the big guy in this gym" mentality. Whines about calls a lot, staredowns are kinda laughable, an seems like he could care less what one of the best players to ever touch a volleyball has to say. I totally understand that it has got to suck, in alot of ways, to be Sinjin's kid. But trying to pull down the net (unsuccessfully - if you're gonna do it, at least be Karch) after losing in a Quali match, and then running away and burying your head in the sand for 20 minutes before even coming back to talk to your partner, seemed very immature. Just my thoughts after watching him play several Qualis - I could be wrong and he could be the best kid ever!

Duncan Bufinger has been living in Salt Lake City for the last few years and has moved to the Culver City area I believe for work so I don't know how much he's able to train. Dude has the best job ever as a video game engineer.
