Semantics here, but three out of 24 is hardly “several”. Those 3 were on 12 men rosters. And yeah that is semantics. I am not sure I personally would use the word "several" to refer to a number much larger than 3 regardless of the sample size. ETA - I was only referring to players who made the final travel team - I know there are others who were on the 20-24 man rosters who are also no longer playing (Brendin Chandler off the top of my head but there may be more - I don't actually know all of the guys or where they are ).

Semantics here, but three out of 24 is hardly “several”. Vocabulary here, but several is more than two, less than many. ETA: didn't see the clarification, but 25% is under all situations appropriately "several," and not many. Few, being scalable, is purely a lexicographical choice to make, under either situation. Simply put, both several and few work semantically.

Great. Looks like an average of only 2 players on each Youth NT would become impactful senior NT members. Wonder who are those 2 in this squad

This years YNTT had great attacking and digging talent. Setters are the quarterbacks of VB and when football teams can't win games that they should quarterbacks are held responsible. Nice kids, but sorry Kar and Kaul didn't get it done...

Nice kids, but sorry Kar and Kaul didn't get it done... Kind of hard to hold the setters fully responsible when we were easily one of the worst passing teams in the tournament. When we weren’t getting aced we were spraying passes everywhere for the setters to chase down. Centers don’t snap the ball to the quarterback anywhere near this poorly.

...fair point. However, any half-decent setter can run a good offense on great passing. Great setters can run a good offense no matter the passing. At the this level, with theoretically the 12 best players in the country, we should expect great setters.

Biggest weakness is serving... My point exactly... US has two players in top 75 of serving! TWO! Serving is probably the one aspect of the game that is the most irrespective of the opponent. Zero having to do with teamwork. It is just embarrassing. Other teams have 4, 5, 6 players in the Top 75. US has two. What a joke. Someone should be held accountable.

Zero having to do with teamwork. It is just embarrassing. Other teams have 4, 5, 6 players in the Top 75. US has two. What a joke. Someone should be held accountable. Couple things come to mind. (be gentle...these are just ideas/opinion) #1 The ball that our guys play with is often very different throughout the USA not only compared to International but in various states and also in Junior Club ball. Heck - Spaulding is the sponsor up here in NY for HS. ugh #2 Our tolerance for missed serves is vastly different in this country than in other countries....most certainly in HS and Junior Club Ball. Our lineups seemed to vary on these USA teams and our kids psychologically aren't wired to have a high acceptable miss/ace rate. Suggesting that maybe the fear of missing might play into the ALL OUT rip in order to look better in the eyes of the coach, even if the coaches are giving the green light. (hunch) #3 Many if not most gyms and sport courts just don't allow long runways for hammer Top spins and even some aggressive float serves. Practice becomes permanent. Anyone who has witness any qualifier in the country will acknowledge this. #4 Many of the best teams (esp Cali/PR) I've coached against stress a placement floaty to the jump serve for their players in Club ball. #5 Many of our middles (bigs) never really develop a great serve until college. Theory: We here in the USA don't encourage aggressive serving in practice/matches nor train/play against it very much for serve receive = we are behind in this area.
