what does "heavy lobbying efforts" mean.... wouldn't they want the best team available??? They are probably picking the best players they witnessed in 3 days of practice among the players they invited who are U18, who rarely (if ever) touch a Mikasa ball, for a competition that isn't even starting for a couple months. You could probably field a number of teams with various compositions that are capable of beating each other on any given day. At this age, if they really just wanted to field the best team available, they'd just call up one of the elite 17's club team and ask them to compete. true....

I’ve seen a screenshot of the roster. All the Instagram bio detective work you guys have done is correct. I’m a little surprised about some choices, but I also heard the roster may have been influenced by some heavy lobbying efforts. I hate to be a tease, but im not giving away the roster until USAV posts it themselves. What I like to know is, how did u see a screenshot of the roster?

Kerry Keefe is very good. I think Stanford will regret passing on her. Eh, Kipp / Francis for the next 4 is just fine for me on the right Other than an injury, Stanford is in good shape.

And by “lobbying” I mean that a person who watched the camp told me about how several college coaches were in the ears of the team coaches who made the selections (went to lunch with them, watched all the practices, helped with drills, etc… EDIT: All the players selected are amazing and deeply talented, but there are all-stars who I thought were locks who were cut.

Who could be surprised by the politics involved? After what we just witnessed with the U20 team, it only gets more unseemly from here. Morrison is a good coach but he has a clear bias and motive to pick or listen to certain coaches-or at least has the appearance of a bias. It will be interesting to see how many on the final roster are not yet committed to a school. I do think USA volleyball should be above reproach with these selections, and that just isn’t true. I do think it would benefit USA volleyball if the coaches or selection committees for these teams we’re not made up of assistant college coaches. These teams have devolved into politics. . . We can do better. . . We should do better.

This. Similar to how the invites went out. PR machines, coaches with a vested interest…

More so where the 22's are concerned.

More so where the 22's are concerned. There are 8 uncommitted girls on the training team, including a 2022. SURPRISE!
