No, but she proved herself with the Ducks in NCAA . I also think she has higher ceiling than several middles like Alhassan, Tapp and Rosenthal who play with the NT I agree. I think her speed an athleticism will take her a long way. While Alhassan is a freak athlete, I don’t see her being polished enough to reach the highest of levels. She slow

Also, her VB IQ and her character as a person.

Stone is too good for the French League I kind of predicted she would end up in either the German or Polish league quite frankly, France isn’t too far off. But I figured because doesn’t international volleyball value blocking over offense in a middle? The middle better be able to form a wall before being a heavy arm. I think that may be to Ronika’s detriment, she barely averaged over a block/set @ oregon. That’s Vs Rhamat, Ogbogu and Washington, she’s down .2-.4 points. This could be to help form a better block. I have no doubt though that she’ll be a real offensive threat.

Has she proven herself last season to play in major leagues? No, but she proved herself with the Ducks in NCAA I also think she has higher ceiling than several middles like Alhassan, Tapp and Rosenthal who play with the NT 1000% agree with this! I am excited to see her play professionally.

I have no doubt though that she’ll be a real offensive threat. She also spent significant time each season playing on the right side every year except her junior season, in addition to the trouble with getting moved around that will just depress blocking stats. She also didn't always have great blockers to support on the pins. She's fast enough to close against a variety of offenses.

So far 11 (12) USA players have been announced for the upcoming Turkish VVSL (1st league) Michelle Bartsch (Vakifbank SK) Jordan Thompson (Eczacıbaşı Vitra) Chiaka Ogbogu (Eczacıbaşı Vitra) Lauren Carlini (THY) Madison Kingdon (THY) Rachael Adams (Aydın BBSK) Willow Johnson (Nilüfer Bld.) Sara Wilhite (Niüfer Bld.) Symone Abbott (Karayolları Ankara) Madison Rigdon (Sarıyer) Annie Mitchem (Kuzeyboru SC) Sherridan Atkinson (Nilüfer Bld. ?? Cancelled ??)Also maybe good to point from Puerto Rico: Daly Santana (THY) And the 3 Canadians: Jennifer Cross (AtlasGlobal Yeşilyurt) Emily Maglio (Nilüfer Bld.) Victoria Gorrel (Kuzeyboru SC) What's interesting is that there are going to be more American players in the Turkish league than in the Italian Serie A1 this season.

Check out page 7 of the thread. I did a massive update to the entire list of American Athletes including not just NT players. Hope ya'll find it informative and easier to find your favorite players!

Unless I have missed someone....not one American player has landed in Russia, Bulgaria, Romania, Belgium or The Netherlands yet. There are many more European Countries with leagues that I still need to check but I will get on that next week. So far I have covered all of the major leagues around the world.

WTF? Ronika is a great person, according to everybody who has met her. I think he was talking about Alhassan. Not Stone. But perhaps I too am mistaken?
