From what I could gather from Perugia's latest Instagram reel: 1. Giannelli is hurt and will likely not play 2. Ishikawa is also injured and will likely not play 3. Semeniuk's got a mustache and it's certainly...a choice he made😬😬 Is there some competition in the Polish MNT that we're missing or something bc I refuse to believe this is coincidental |

Americans in Turkey had rough matches yesterday.
Halkbank loses in 5 to Galatasaray.... all of pins hitting under .300 for both teams, though Patry had 22 points.
I watched Ziraat get swept by Arkas. Anderson only had four points on 4 kills and hit .111. Clevenot only had 9 points. They tried both Ter Maat and Stern at opposite and neither hit over .000.
Grozer had 22 points on 17 kills, 3 aces, and two blocks.
Muagututia and Spor Toto beat Fenerbahce, but they did not publish the stats for that match.

Berlin beat VC Bitterfield-Wolfen in three sets.
Hanes with 16 and Knigge with 12 in the middle.
I honestly thought going from Sottola to Hanes was going to be a step down in quality, but Hanes is looking very good. I am hoping they can have a good showing in the Champions League.

This is a hot take but the best setter in Plusliga is Isacson.
Considering Christensen takes this summer of, I'm curious how Karch will deal with it.

Yes, top3 - Isaacson, Firlej, Tavares(Janusz not really impressive so far) but Quinn is the main reason why Ebadipur looks great.
Isaacson, Hanes, Garcia, Briggs, McHenry, D’Agostnio - I watch them offem and they made huge progress.

Garcia had really great early seasons with Lube before, it's better to make a conclusion yet. When Kamil is fully ready, it might be hard for him to see the court.

Garcia had really great early seasons with Lube before, it's better to make a conclusion yet. When Kamil is fully ready, it might be hard for him to see the court. I agree, but Garcia's biggest issue is that he won’t be an opposite in the style of Grozer, Mikhaylov, Nimir, or Atanasijevic. He’s more of a system opposite—good for quick plays, with a strong serve and excellent defense—similar to Rychlicki. If you need this type of player and know how to integrate him into the team (as Zaksa did with Kaczmarek), he can bring a lot of value. However, making him the primary scoring weapon likely won’t work. That’s why Garcia performs well when he has someone like Michieletto on his team. In the national team, this approach could be successful since, with offensive players like Russell or Defalco, you can confidently rely on system opposite. Another thing is that Hanes probably has a higher potential, regularly hitting around 60% in attacks this season while being the main scoring weapon. A tall, powerful attacker like that could be a game-changer since teams like Italy, Poland (with Kurek, though arguably past his prime), France, and Brazil lack such a player. Anderson is more of a blend between a typical power scorer and a system opposite. So, if Jake maintains his form, Garcia might face challenges beyond just his own performance. |

AND NONE OF THOSE DUDES HAVE OLYMPIC MEDALS AND WOULD NEVER BE SET ENOUGH UNDER A CHRISTENSON “EVERYBODY EATS OFFENSE” In the national team, this approach could be successful since, with offensive players like Russell or Defalco, you can confidently rely on system opposite. YES!!!! |
