Sylla's so much better at passing now. Watched her CL match against Fener and thought she was pretty stable. She's also the 3rd best passing outside behind Courtney in Italy. It can happen and if it will happen, it has to be from someone who's got potential to be an elite-level athlete. That's pretty much Thompson and Plummer. That's also passing alongside a De Gennaro and either Bosetti/Pietrini/whoever or a Hill....... the US wouldn't have any of those with a JT/Plummer duo I don't understand how the other's passing performance would affect hers. If anything, wouldn't she be targeted? Is it about diluting the passing numbers for Sylla?

Plummer can really pound that ball Wow yeah. When she gets a hold of it, it's scary. Just looks and sounds different than anyone else on the court (including Annie)

Drews has such an unaesthetic swing... even more so when its not a fast set lol Couldn't agree more. Not very pretty to watch, but it works for her lol

People don’t get that much better at passing in 3 years. We’d be lucky to qualify with the two of them passing full time. Isn't Franti passing quite well in Italy right now 3 years out from struggling to pass in the NCAA? She's also someone I'm looking forward to in the USA gym. Girl's got hops.

Drews has such a similar swing to Gabi or Robinson. She doesn't do a full swing lol.

When you have better/great passers around you, they can cover the seams/pinch the worse passer (they have less court to cover) Watch Eczacibasi and see how much court Simge covers when JT is in reception (its a lot). JWO does this sometimes for Wiesbaden. The US doesn't have a libero that can pinch JT and Plummer (no one does). It would be a trainwreck.

Covering less floor = lesser area to adjust to in passing. Despite that, I think Sylla has improved a lot when it comes to technique and stability, albeit they have yet to face a strong enough serving team like Vakif or Ecza.

But that still doesn't stop me from wanting a Plummer-Thompson OH duo lol. Robinson can come in to pass I guess lol. Hope it happens in WCh.

Isn't Franti passing quite well in Italy right now 3 years out from struggling to pass in the NCAA? I think you’re misremembering. Frantti’s passing numbers were excellent at Penn St.

I guess I am misremembering. Probably a case of her bad days/moments standing out more in my memory (much like Dodge last year for Wisconsin who had head scratchers but was very solid overall in SR)

Frantti’s passing numbers were excellent at Penn St. They were good in France too. (55% positive, 27% perfect). In Poland, they only have perfect which she was 23% (above/about average in the league)

The Empress Cup finals will be a doozy.
Quarters: NEC beat JT in the V1 1st leg but JT exacted revenge on them this Cup. Semis: JT vs. Denso leg 1 went to 5 as well. Both times, JT won.
Finals: Toray beat JT in the 1st leg of V1. JT's OH's weren't effective in comparison to Ishikawa and Kurogo. I can see JT setting Drews a lot more than usual for this finals if it's all in for them especially if their OH's aren't producing much.
Will be an interesting match. I think Toray is more complete as a team but if a team can beat them, it's JT.

Finished watching the Denso v JT match and there appeared to be some pretty bad calls in the last set that ended up being against Denso. That could've easily gone the other way...
