I wonder where this leaves benesh...
Also, a bit curious as benesh/beranek showed some good promise.
Nonetheless, should be an entertaining team

Feels like a downgrade for Troy. I think they will be an exciting team but idk how good they will be.

Is Troy a better blocker than Eric is a defender?

Is Troy a better blocker than Eric is a defender? There's no more explosive team than these two right now domestically. They'll make their mistakes but athletically they are at another level. |

I wouldn't call Beranek athletically on another level
Sounds like Benesh upgraded from Beranek to Allen. I would probably consider Field and Beranek right around mid to lower level AVP team. A 1-2 type team, maybe 2-2.

Except for the fact that Travis called them "polished talents" this would be the most ludicrous statement that anyone could possibly make about Benesh/Beranek. |

Is Troy a better blocker than Eric is a defender? To answer your question yupyupyup, I would say “yup yup yup” just based on physicality alone. Not more skilled, and definitely makes more dumb decisions, but there’s a lot less to figure out when your as physically gifted as Troy is. |

A 1-2 type team, maybe 2-2. Tier 1: Olympic hopefuls Tier 1A: 2024 hopefuls/previous olympians Patterson Budinger, Schalk/Theo Tier 2: Casebeer/Bomgren Allen/Benesh Evans/Ricardo Hyden/Kolinske Tier 2A: Field/Beranek They’re tier 2A in my opinion because those other 4 tier 2 teams it’s very conceivable that they would get 1 or more W’s over tier 1A teams, but Field/Beranek that’s just that much harder to visualize. It’s also that much more conceivable that they would lose to teams that haven’t been mentioned yet compared to the other tier 2 teams. Casebeer/Bomgren are also likely to have a bad loss or 2, but the high side is more there for them than field/Beranek |

Do us all a favor and start one |

Let’s save the tier talk for another thread. I’ll create shortly. |

Very explosive and fun team to watch. But I don't think they'd break final 4 in a full field. Maybe during an FIVB weekend.
