I just looked at the entry list on the FIVB sites. It lists 5 US womens teams: S Ross/Fopma Carico/Dicello Hochevar/Mcguire Fendrick/Sweat and April Ross/Kerri Walsh. So maybe she is gonna give it a go as this is an Olympic qualification event from what April said on Facebook. All of these FIVB events up until the cutoff before RIO will be Olympic Qualification events. Carico/Dicello Hochevar/Mcquire Fendrick/Sweat Ross/Pavlik Fopma/?? On FIVB, Fopma is listed with Branagh.

I guess this is smart by April since she and Whitney did well the one time they played but I would have liked to see April give someone like Summer, Fopma or Lauren a chance. I dont necessarily think either is that much better than Whitney but Whits limits have been firmly established. Have the new pairings been posted somewhere? I would love a blow by blow, who dumped who etc. Maybe April saw something in that "end of season final" in Huntington '14 with Whitney taking Heather Hughes up against Walsh and her . . . She was very close to winning this event...

On FIVB, Fopma is listed with Branagh. Oof. That won't end well. If Kerri Walsh was out indefinitely (which it doesn't appear that way), would April Ross be a good fit with Fopma? Ross was the primary defender with Kessy and Fopma has to be one of the better American blockers.

Ross was the primary defender with Kessy and Fopma has to be one of the better American blockers. I think April did reach out to Fopma. If Walsh was going to be out for an extended length of time, I think an A. Ross/Fopma partnership could have happened. But it looks like it's just a one-off event, April and Pavlik are buds, Pav is easy to play with etc.
