Just wondering if Simone Lee is in Karch's Hooker house? I believe it's called a whorehouse... Thats pretty uncalled for. regardless what player you mean.

This concerns me as well. Why is she not out there? Makes no sense to bring her and not play her. We all know she's capable... There's a chance she hurt herself/isn't at 100% due to a training session while they were traveling. And there is no need to push it when they don't need her on the court at the moment. Not saying that is the case, but is a potential scenario. Didn't she participate in warm-ups today? Seems odd that she'd be dressed if she was injured. I think they just wanted to utilize Lake in a different role.

for those who are comfortable using Hola as a IP spoofer I recommend Volleyballworld.tv an FIVB affiliate that is geo blocked in the US. I use Canada IP as supported by Hola. No problems. $19 for the VNL but $29 for a whole year including some of the top tournaments and archives. www.volleyballworld.tv/home

We've been misled by some successful opposite debuts in the past, but Thompson is showing the contact point and range to make me think she may scale a little better against better/better-prepared teams. She's not just getting kills when blockers are late or too short (see: Murphy). Also looking way better as a blocker.
And I'm sure defenses will adjust to Rettke somewhat, but there's no way she doesn't settle in as at least an effective attacker. That's the USA's advantage in international volleyball - we have hordes of young women getting trained well into their maturity and just have more options coming up than others.

I'm very interested to see how some of these players perform when teams are a better caliber and have film on them (i.e., Thompson, Foecke).

wow, how can one not be excited when watching Rettke play. She's the future of USA volleyball and I'm pumped to see her grow!

Wondering if Karch would be willing to cut both Drews and Lowe if they are outplayed by the right-handed options like Cuttino, Thompson, and/or Plummer. Then again also wondering if he will give the same opportunities to these young guns
