And the block? At her best, perfect timing, great reading. In short, watching her go up you have a LOT of confidence that she may block this next shot. While it's only one piece of a player's overall ability, and I don't know who most people would pick...today...between her and Claes (touching on a recent discussion), on the feeling as they go up to block, I always have had much more confidence in Kerri, well until recently maybe - even though Slaes is my favorite team. I think it's only very...very...recently that Kelly's block can now be considered a 'pro.'

The best part about Kerri as a blocker isn’t even her blocking, though she is excellent at it. The best part is her peel defense!

What's next? A ball signing session at Benjamin Franklin? |

If it moves the needle on betting, I am sure she will immediately be welcomed at AVP events going forward. By the way, isn't Franklin a manufacturer of pretty low-end sporting goods?

KWJ continues to prove to us that she is either in it solely for the money or just a flat out terrible business woman. Franklin Sports is a WalMart special and just produces absolute dogsh*t backyard bbq products. Is there even a High School Sports Association that uses Franklin as their official ball or is she just going to use her name recognition to steal money from Franklin and hope her picture and name makes these things fly off the shelves at Walmart and Target? I have an incredibly hard time believing she couldn't have found some way to work out a deal with Wilson or Mikasa, or that tells us she was asking for stupid money and Wilson/Mikasa no longer think she is relevant for the amount she was asking for. |

And announcing this partnership right before the start of the Olympics?? 🤦🏻♀️ What do you mean? These Franklin products are brought to you by an Olympian!* *the term Olympian meaning present and/or past Olympians, some of which may not have actually qualified for this current Olympics run and are losing relevancy in the sport, but if we don't mention it then maybe the general population will buy the crap none the less. |

And announcing this partnership right before the start of the Olympics?? 🤦🏻♀️ Why wouldn't this be announced during a huge time for new viewership of beach volleyball? Why would Franklin Sports not want to make this as visible as possible? Why would Kerri not want to cash in as much as possible, she only has a finite amount of years left? Franklin and Almonds go hand in hand! |

Imagine how stupid someone would sound implying that names like Mary Lou Retton or Mark Spitz shouldn't be prefaced by the world Olympian. But Kerri, who accomplished massively more in the Olympics than either, she should be treated like yesterday's garbage by sponsors, sure that makes sense. Funny you never objected when the AVP broadcast staff used the word Olympian to apply to last place finishers Brooke Sweat and Lauren Fendrick to OCD levels |

www.instagram.com/tv/CRu8wQ_FsBg/Kerri hasn’t decided whether to hang it up or continue competing and try for Paris. She’s going to be doing some remote work for NBC’s coverage of the Tokyo games.
