The USA B squad girls are really moving up. Promising given our impending exodus of experienced leaders.

Plummer to Imoco was a rumor... but that was struck down. We know she doesn't want to return to Italy. 

[wishinwestcoastvb]

Honestly thought Courtney may retire once she gets married post Olympics but you never know

Wilhite: Eczacibasi/Imoco
Poulter: Busto Arsizio

is wilhite really rumored to imoco? That’s HUGE for her if true

[ericleo]

Thanks for creating the thread!

Didn't know there's rumor on Wilhite going to Eczacibasi, I don't think Eczacibasi is good for her. Of course this is just my personal opinion.
I also heard that Chieri renewed with Frantti. Frantti is someone I want to see in the USA gym for the Paris squad.
I believe Poulter and Gray will extend their contract with UYBA. But I hope they can upgrade their lineup or even bench for next season.

Given her performance this season, I'm not surprised that big clubs are interested in her  
If she does go to Imoco, I hope she'll start over Courtney, but I think the reality might be the opposite.

I mean she’s a better terminator for sure but her passing is no where near Courtney. If only we could combine their strengths

they're probably just rumors trying to leverage their own deals they make ($$$)

[stanfordnebraskafan]

Any idea where Plummer will go?

[dragan11]

The source of Wilhite to Imoco rumours is a Brazllian website which produces only fake news.

Rumours in Turkey say that she earned 75k this season and she is asking for 300k next year. Curious where she will land. Imoco doesn't pay that amount to her especially after making a huge increase on Egonu's salary.

How do we know that and why is that her perspective?

An Italian newspaper said the rumor wasn't true. 

And KP has said she didn't enjoy Italy. She never said specifically but she mentioned the training/game schedule is something she didn't like and really enjoyed how structured/set it is in Japan.

Oh boy. She is welcome not to like it, but she is working for someone else in a country that isn't Japan. She can choose not to go back, but that'd be a huge mistake.
