The Puerto Rico professional league folding for 2018 has had an impact. Those are slots now not available to Puerto Rican and continental U.S. players, and which have been stepping stones to playing in Europe - Courtney Thompson started out in Puerto Rico, before going to Switzerland. I believe that 28 Puerto Rican professional players (including Daly Santana) have transferred to international leagues - those are also slots no longer available to U.S. players. Pretty much that's the situation right now (Aurea Cruz ended up in Turkish 2nd league, Gina Mancuso in a middle level Polish team, Kyra Holt in a middle level Spanish team, Lynda Morales in the best team of Romania and one of 16 in CEV Champions League, Karina Ocasio ended up in Indonesia and more to follow).

Chiaka Ogbogu signed with Il Bisonte Firenze in Italy A1 Jordan Tucker (MB) of Duke to Austria (I think is Prinz Brunnenbau in A league) Hailey Murray of Meryland to Austria along with Jordan Annie Drews most probably will sign with Pomi Casalmaggiore during the week (ITA A1)

Chiaka made her debut for Il Bisonte Firenze at the end of the 2nd set just now as an OH which I think is hilarious. She was brought in to put a block in front of Haak.

Till the end of the third set, she was substituted in and scored an A-quick on her first trial. She then was replaced by the libero after a service error. Excuse me that I didn't watch much of her college games, did she serve during college? That service error looked a bit awkward and made me suspect she did not serve during college.

Probably nerves, she was an effective server for Texas.

She was the serving middle for Texas for sure. Nerves maybe? It's her first game.

Probably nerves, she was an effective server for Texas. She didn’t have the most compact serving motion and when it didn’t look good it really didn’t look good. Never saw the numbers but my impression is it was an effective driving floater.
