Boys have safely arrived in Japan. I see Josh Tuaniga. Don’t think I see Patch. Anyone with an Aaron sighting? Patch actually came back to try to work out with the team in early July but decided to leave and call it a day on USA VB or at least this quad. The team is the 12 guys announced back on June 13th. No alternates travelled....I think. Best of luck to them.

In Rio your 3 medal winners came from the same Pool A 4 of these teams in Pool B in Tokyo could take out Poland in the knockout stage and it wouldn't be a stretch to believe that. That Poland team didn't have Wilfredo Leon. Which is really the biggest reason they are favored for medal contention. Edit: And Brazil added Leal to their roster. Both of those are 2 of the top 5 OHs in the world. We can't even figure out who are 2nd OH should be. We are most definitely on the outside, along with Italy and France. What a difference a few weeks make: Poland (with Leon) drops a match to Iran. We crush France and Russia bested us by a total of only 2 points over 4 games. If the 2nd OH can contribute more and the serving rights itself, we could be ok.
