LOL. Correct. 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. Right....too many Nebraska players on these rosters  |

Considering the caliber of these athletes, I would be surprised if any of the girls weren't committed. More so where the 22's are concerned. There are 8 uncommitted girls on the training team, including a 2022. SURPRISE! I am shocked at the 22! Which underachiever is that?  It's still early for the 23's as they've only received offers since June 15. Wait... is that the final team or the 24 that were selected to try out? |

I think he meant the original 24 because he said training team. Also, I’m not sure if you were being sarcastic or not, but the 22 he was referring to was Devin. |

I think it's hard to use that as a measure when the 23's have not been able to talk to anyone in 2 years and have still not been able to visit campuses.

Any girl that gets selected to tryout for the U18 squad is by no means an underachiever (even if they're not committed yet). And to clarify... I would be surprised if someone on the final squad was uncommitted although I'm pretty sure Devin will make it so there's that. |

And the college coaches who were impartial witnesses to the training were pretty shocked by the selections as well. Now I'm REALLY curious to see who made it! (And who didn't) |

Devin did make it, her club team posted it on their story on Saturday. |

It’s also fair to mention Karch doesn’t seem to agree with you. . . And Karch actually takes it a step further by playing the best players. . . ✌️ |
