I don't think so. Her wife gave birth in August and I think she wants to spend time with her family.

Based on these rosters who is the favorite for the Championship? I realize that some teams will pick up players from teams who don't make the playoffs.

I would say Tianjin are the favorites, but Shanghai seems good also though not much depth in the middle. I've read rumors that teams won't be allowed to pick up loaned players for the playoffs this season, but not sure if it's true. Last season Beijing received Ding Xia and Wang Mengjie which were key to their victory. Without them their setter and libero positions are relatively weak.

Barring injury, it's pretty safe to bet on Tianjin winning the title this year.  Shanghai will probably have the best ball control.  Beijing also has a shot, but losing Rachel is a big loss for them even though she is being replaced by Michelle Bartsch-Hackley.  Gong and Zhang (Changning) were both playing very well this summer so Jiangsu is my pick to complete the top four teams.  Jiangsu extends their streak of not having any foreign players.  I also think that Bayi will be improved.

Is Destinee anywhere close to 2012 Destinee? I saw video of her in a Brazilian league in 2016 or so and she would have had no business being in the USA gym.

I actually had the same question, without the innuendo as I haven’t seen her play since she parted ways with the national team. I’m NOT trying to stir the pot, just curious.

[jay]

I've watched her and she certainly has as much left in her tank as Larson does from her high point several years ago. What's great is we get to see her in the CWC's against other top teams. I hope she does well. Still even an MVP performance would mean nothing to Karch. He would rather not medal in Tokyo then admit he made a mistake with Hooker.

[ironhammer]

 Hooker vs Larson...I mean Tianjin vs Shanghai, are definitely some of the matches to watch.

Man, they already have Hooker gracing the Tianjin posters:



P.S-Don't know why the image got removed earlier.

Oh. I thought maybe this was going to be about 9-man volleyball.
