I think its a great opportunity for team USA as well... If Jordan can get her passing up to par and move to the left, that opens up a ton of options I don’t follow pro very much, but is Boskovic no longer at that club? (Not even gonna attempt to spell it) you spelled it right. but yes she is. which is why I think Jordan will move to the left.

I was referring to the name of the club lol and u actually think she will? If it’s for the 2020-2021 season that’s a huge risk for her possible Olympic debut

I don't think she would move to a club where she wouldn't be starting when she's probably one of the hottest arms on the market, when she holds all the cards.

Atkinson stays with Nilufer. She’s also someone to watch out for 2024. She’s now ahead of Cuttino.

Boskovic can also pass. We have seen that from her on the Serbian NT at times when Brankica was struggling. I can see Boskovic and Thompson alternating passing responsibilities in certain rotations with Thompson doing more of the passing. If she falters, Yildirim is a solid passer but is a bit undersized and struggles on offense.

Eczacibasi has had roster makeup issues since win CL. They have had some bad luck with injuries but roster construction and economics has also contributed to their recent struggles. With Boskovic you pay OH transfers their quotas because they come with certain assurances, they can receive and score consistently allowing Boskovic to concentrate on what she does best, attack and block. I believe at this point Thompson's lack of experience in these areas comes with more questions than assurances. ECZ used Neslihan to receive in the years just before she retired and did it with some success, primarily because she had taken a high number of practice and match reps, but Boskovic has not. And I do not believe you can compare Terzic reception system to Motta's. At this point in her career I only consider paying Thompson her quota as an OPP not as an OH.

And I do not believe you can compare Terzic reception system to Motta's. At this point in her career I only consider paying Thompson her quota as an OPP not as an OH. Well.....she will be playing OH. Due to foreigner restrictions they will have to shuffle the pack during the domestic league. I think the move is great for her. She will see some high level competition and will get vital passing reps. It's a win for USAV. It could even be a win for VitrA. The whole roster is young. Many of the older players from the last few seasons have moved on. I didn't say Bosković was a better passer. I simply was relaying that I have seen her pass on the NT before when needed. The OH roster isn't filled yet. VitrA could still hire another foreigner who is a better passer. In that scenario....Thompson would have to really improve her passing in order to remain a starter. In my opinion the team will live or die on how well Mirković performs. I think she has a lot of potential but I find her play to be very erratic. She struggled the past two seasons at Chemik Police and Bergamo. She got a TON of starting time during the 2019 international season. It's time to prove she is a worthy replacement for Maja when she eventually retires.

Atkinson hasn't made a single USAV roster yet. Also if you want to get technical Cuttino has had more success with Casalmaggiore and is playing with one of the best teams in the Brazilian Superliga next year. Pump the breaks a smidgen.

As someone here noted, her injury at KOVO was a blessing in disguise and has since had a commendable showing at Nilufer. Also werq @ Purdue for producing team USA Opps.

Atkinson isn't even listed as being on the USA roster. Like she played in one exhibition match vs. Canada. How does that translate to her being ahead of Cuttino who played every single match of the Pan-Am Games? I mean the team didn't do well but that was because of that clown of a coach they had. The Pan-Am rosters should have been reversed. More teams took the Games more seriously than the Cup which is every year. Anyways......I 1000% disagree that she is ahead of Cuttino.
Edit: I don't dislike Atkinson...I just think some of you need to adjust your deductive reasoning skills a bit. Atkinson isn't even on the USAV radar....yet. That could all change if she plays well this full season at Nilufer and stays healthy. Wishing her the best of luck!
