I dont think VBW's dig stats are good at all. jwvolley or basil (or others) do you have the VM stats Germany game isn’t statted yet:/ update: game still isn’t statted but I’ll keep checking and give y’all the VM dig per set numbers and probably passing too. just always have to take them with a grain of salt because I’ve seen them give digs to things that are clearly not digs and their passing numbers are subjective for sure

I wonder if they pick the hitters first and then pick the setters who set those hitters best… or the other way around? Pick the passing OHs first, then the setters that are best at setting them, then the MBs & Opps that are best at working with those setters? Do they factor in which blocking pairs are better?
Thinking of this because I observed that Frantti seems to do way better when Carlini is setting her. I’m sure there are other pairs that work better and some that are worse.

Hitters chose the setters they took the best selfies with. Especially if they had a good ring light.

Pick the passing OHs first, then the setters that are best at setting them, then the MBs & Opps that are best at working with those setters? Do they factor in which blocking pairs are better? Thinking of this because I observed that Frantti seems to do way better when Carlini is setting her. I’m sure there are other pairs that work better and some that are worse. Based on past rosters, and the setter controversy when KK won gold in '84 - most/all spots are likely decided by Kumbaya and player input. For those not wanting to read If Gold Is Our Destiny brought by VolleyballMag here is a quick summary of the '84 setter controversy: Dvorak - Starter. "the best tactician, having an instinct to know who to set and when." Wilde - "has the finest pure technique of the setters and is quicker than heat lightning. He’s the best on the team at setting the bad pass and has excellent range on defense.” Marlowe - "has the unique ability to draw the best out of everyone around him. He is a leader and a strong competitor.” Everyone wanted Dvorak as the starter. Coaches wanted and chose Wilde as backup. Players wanted and chose Marlowe as captain. I won't spoil the rest of the story. “The whole point of Outward Bound was to create the best team dynamic, the best trust, the best connections,” said Karch.“ Chris Marlowe fostered that more than anyone, hands down. That’s why cutting Marlowe confused us so much, it sent the direct opposite message of all we were trying to build.”

Frantti did way too many things right not to get serious starter time looks. She’s going to push SWP. Someone has to, the second spot has a lot to make up for the loss of one miss MBH

Someone has to, the second spot has a lot to make up for the loss of one miss MBH I didn’t realize her blocking numbers were practically the same as SWP. SWP’s serve and floor defense were much better, but clearly Frantti’s attacking and passing numbers were much better. Maybe we just go opponent by opponent with them based on what we need, but I think they’ve definitely separated themselves from Plummer, Bajema, and Kingdon

Could be better/worse. SWP with Carlini is ? But year, those girls are number 2a 2b imo

I could see Megan Courtney being a factor this quad at OH. I would think KK wants at least one hammer and at least two nails as OHs. He has one nail with KRob. I don't think any other OH on the VNL roster is a nail.
