When Hancock goes to Tokyo as the dub-sub setter for her serve with Poulter and Carlini is left off ya'll are going to be SHOOK. Mind you, I'm not hoping for this scenario, but it's what I can absolutely see happening. it's okay. I'll be sure to send flowers to Reach as condolences  Anything for Poutler.... |

Hancock has ice running in her veins. She plays for one of the best clubs in Europe and could get a decent contract anywhere she wanted to go. She'll probably be bummed if she doesn't make the Tokyo squad, but she will arguably be the second best setter in the world that IS NOT at the Olympic games behind Joanna Wolosz.
I'm excited to see who wins the race at setter, libero and in the Middle. Looks like OH and Opp are pretty locked down. KP and SWP are going to get lots of reps but I'm not sure they are going to be able to steal a spot.
OMG, what if KP and JT unseated Drews?! This board would EXPLODE. haha

Hancock is a good setter and she brings a ton...but Poulter and Carlini do better within the USA system and are better overall to my eye anyway. Tbh we’re lucky to have three solid setters like them. THIS^^^^ What other NT has three setters of this quality to choose from? China? Italy? Brazil? |

Carlini 1st season - Gets Scandicci into CL and best season ever for team. 2nd season - Wins CL with Novara 3rd season - Moscow, has a bad season 4th season - Leads THY to best finish ever - 3rd in league play and a spot in CL Has Hancock even won anything yet or advanced a team to CL that wasn't already there before she got there? Seems like one has achieved and one hasn't. Right. She won the Champions League, then what? Decided being on the best team in Europe wasn't fun? That it would be a better thing to play for worse clubs and try to give them their best season ever? I guess it's possible. It makes more sense that European club owners don't think as highly of her as VolleyTalk. |

What is it about Lauren Carlini that just riles VTalkers up so much?

It makes more sense that European club owners don't think as highly of her as VolleyTalk. Novara didn't match what Egonu, Carlini and MBH were offered so they left. They must also be held accountable in this scenario if you're going to roll with that ideology. |
