DeFalco is gonna make 14-player rosters in every major tournament. Whoās gonna challenge him? Langlois? Muagututia? None of the college guys is even close to him at this point. Wieczorek included.
So , T Sander, A Russell, Jaeschke, DeFalco there u have it

The weakest link is opposite. Patch is still serving floaters for gods sake. Thatās really helpful even as a sub OPP.
Iām not Pete Hanson, but I need Jake Hanes in there

Would like to see these 14 for the finals:
S: Christensen, Ma'a (or Tuaniga, they're interchangeable for me)
OPP: Anderson, Ensing
OH: Russell, Sander, Jaeschke, DeFalco
MB: Holt, Jendryk, Averill, Mcdonnell*
L: Shoji, Watten*
*with Watten/Mcdonnell eventually being left off the 12-man Tokyo roster. (Sidenote: I wish that all events had a 14 player roster)

(Sidenote: I wish that all events had a 14 player roster) This is what Iām thinking as well. Although, I donāt know much about the two young setters. So, Iāll still say Shoji until I see Maāa/Tuaniga play in the next few weeks. Looking at the roster, itās still quite a young team. Even with not a lot of turnover from 2016. As others have mentioned, there really is no room for anyone else to jump into that OH spot for even the next quad. |

I'm ok with Patch serving floaters as long as it goes in play. I think Speraw is way too liberal with allowing players to be aggressive/miss serves. They just miss way too many when he's at the helm from USA to UCLA, if you can't get the ball in play you have a 0% chance of winning the point. If Patch can keep his floaters in that's an upgrade considering his past. As far as Hanes is concerned, I just don't see it. I see a tall guy but lacks athleticism and smoothness in his movements to be elite.

The discussion is about Opp. pretty sure Huhmann was being looked at as a middle, where I feel he would best succeed. Hanes is a little crazy competitive with a gun. I love that potential. Many Many a guy who went to the next level is a little fierce when push comes to shove. |

Go with Ensing as the backup Opp. Heās not flashy but he gets the job done.
1. Anderson
2. Ensing
3. Patch

The reason I brought up Jake Hanes is because last year he was invited to train with A team members in Hawaii and play scrimmages before world championships, back then I didnāt even know him. He was Speraws pick. This season I watched some of his games, super powerful, a lot of errors, he hit a lot of out of system balls, since heās the basically the only efficient pin hitters Ohio State had. Serving easily goes upwards of 70miles
I guess the issue might be he is still a junior 2019-2020 and simply wonāt be available for Tokyo. With all the time invested in Patch the past two years, I see no other options

I like Patch donāt get me wrong, but the value Ensing brings in all phases of the game is just so good, and he is very consistent. |
