*elite liberos should be able to bump set* Ayca Aykac: This made me laugh. In all seriousness all I’m trying to say is that I don’t think an Olympian libero should be applauded for her bump setting high balls a couple feet off the net, there is much tougher things liberos have to do and being a good out of system setter should be the bare minimum for a libero who is striving to be the best in the world at what they do.

that's all fun and games in the NCAA. She can hit over Madi Kubik all she wants... but that doesn't fly in Europe. that's my point. Her serve hasn't improved at all... it goes under the net just as much as it goes over. She's not faster to the pins... she's defended NCAA speed instead of elite speed. anyways... this is derailing lol Perhaps (certainly) you are unable to keep up. She played against top international competition at VNL and her stats were pretty comparable to experienced middles. TIL I learned Germany, Belgium, Bulgaria and Serbia's B-Team are top international competition. Best competition she faced was the Dominican Republic. She got 2 blocks in 5 sets. Her weakness in closing the block was literally glaring in the 2019 VNL, to suggest otherwise is transparently biased.

Look at Chiaka and Haleigh

Look at Chiaka and Haleighjust like to drop in and point out that Chi was getting serves in against Imoco. Never been prouder lmao

JWO was also exception setting OOS. Is Fleck as talented in this department? I haven't watched enough of her. Pretty much every libero on a top international team is extremely good out of system setting. You can only be so good at it ya know? At that level they are all very good at putting up more than hittable balls to the pins. While jwo is very good at out of system setting, it’s hard to not be really good at that when ur at that level bc it’s really not a very difficult skill But can they all give the middle a shoot bump-set like De Gennaro? lol. Love it every time she tries that.

Love it every time she tries that. She’s definitely an exception. Running bump set shoots to the outside with her back facing them. No one else is doing that

What role would Samedy have on the NT though? I mean JT and Drews are both incredible and already have one olympics under their belt. JT said she wanted to stay at opposite too didnt she? I mean if it was truly best for the team, she could move back left but she is just ridiculous from the right pin. I wouldnt call Drews a lock for 2024.

Nah. She really didn't.

👀 Now you have to spill the tea. there's no tea lol its all out there she went to PR pregnant, didn't tell anyone... pulled out of the league during the playoffs when she was too far along to play... and caused her team to forfeit because they weren't allowed to sign a replacement. TY. Now I only want to know whether she knows who Annie Drews is yet?
