I think in the next couple of days the potential JNT candidates will be gathering @ Lake Placid OTC for training. Any thoughts on who's likely to make the team? (Assuming no injuries). Who's likely to be dropped? From looking @ the current roster, I think they will need to drop 1 setter, 1 RS, 1 or 2 MB's, 1 or 2 OH's and 1 L, to get down to the travel squad of 12. I'm not familiar with a number of the MB's. Anybody know the team's itinerary? Which other teams are expected to be @ the NORCECA Tourny?

Pretty sure that both teams are NOT going to Norceca's as they were cancelled. The Dominican Republic was forced to pull the plug due to money and problems from their terrible floods over a month ago..
As of JO's the staff was still unsure of their plans but were trying to scrounge up some games with Canada.
Bummer!

It is true that the Dominican Rep. cancelled, but fortunately, everything has been re-scheduled at alternate locations. The JNT will practice in Colorado Springs or Lake Placid, travel around Canada playing in various locations, and then compete in the NORCECA tournament in Winnipeg. The YNT training camp is postponed to Aug. 1. These 18 boys will practice at Lake Placid for 1 week, then a team of 12 will practice an additional week to prepare for their NORCECA tournament in Mexico City in mid August, finishing on 8/23.

Man looking at that roster the coaches for the JNT have some tough choices to make. They will almost certainly cut one of the setters, one of the liberos, and take your pick on the makeup of OH, MH.

Last I heard was MJNT will be flying into Edmonton, around 7-27, and play the comparable mens Canadian team a time or 2 while traveling to Winnipeg. That's where the NORCECA tournament is to be held. Maybe @ the University of Manitoba. Originally scheduled for 7 or 8 teams. Latest is down to 4 teams, Canada, PR, Mexico and USA. Hope these guys can do as well as the GYNT is doing to date in Catano.
