Anyway, Fenerbahçe are playing some insane and incredibly entertaining ball right now. Arina is just unreal from the service line. The craziest thing is Macris isnt even that good and theyre still just pounding away at any high ball. Good luck to Vakifbank. Bae is gonna have to show up and show out. I think Vakif will have a better chance than Imoco. IMO the OOS attacking from Vakif's pins will be better, Imoco literally only has Haak that can hit OOS. Also Vakif's blocks are way better than Imoco's. Not just middles, but also blocks from pins. It's still bizarre to me that they were not able to defend/close the block even if Macris' sets were so off the net.

OOS attacking should be prioritized. Especially on the right. (also start making setters good again, not just physical) Not everyone can or will serve like Arina. It has been my concerns for quite some time but apparently most RS from the NCAA teams are not the first choice when it comes to OOS attacking. Also serve/receive is definitely not comparable to the international level games, partly because the ball that NCAA uses? Partially. Partially because the level of serving in the NCAA isnt that high. Development gets delayed because the best NCAA players arent playing against the best players in the world. They're playing against players worse than them. they're not developing at the same rate. Arina is a whole year younger than Merritt Beason for example. Ally Batenhorst outplayed Akimova H2H two (three?) summers ago... and look where they're at now. ope.

I still remember seeing Purdue passing with two people for whole 6 rotation and still get away with most of the time. Also Jess Mruzik, the 2019 U18 WC MVP. She outplayed Omoruyi during the tournament. Hopefully she can regain her form in PSU.

Yeah, passing, block&defense matchups, etc. They've a ton of (useless) analytics, lol. I just don't understand. AC was cooking Wolosz at the net. Why is there just nothing changed?? Like man you got smoked in Istanbul and almost smoked here... yikes. they did get smoked here lol

Y’all need to get over blaming Plummer as the issue. Santa and his main elf Wolosz are seriously so tired. Time for something new. Both need to go to the polish league Plummer is not the problem, but is a problem. next zhu ting yall

Plummer is 6'7 why she jump and hit the ball like 6'2? Arina and even AC hit almost all over the block and with speed. I think she needs to transfer to fenerbahce to train these skills. Arina and ac will help her.

That Gala team wasn't that bad: Kilic - Demir (she had a monster match at Novara, kickin' them out of playoffs, lol) Rabadzhieva - Kosheleva (she missed final 4 since she tore her ACL in leg 1 match vs. Novara) Vuchkova - Jack Guresen They just flopped in the SF

Who did they even have ? Barakova as setter, Cleger as Opp, Onyejekwe as MB, plus some Serbians (as usual, lol) like Crncevic, Vujovic, Darko Zakoc as coach. IIRC they hired Malesevic and Krsmanovic just for the final 4

Haak is the best blocking opposite, Plummer's blocking is better than any Vakif OH and Cansu probably is the worst blocking setter.
