www-old.cev.eu/Competition-Area/MatchStatistics.aspx?ID=64245Kelsey 6-5-21 for .047 (plus 3 service errors) that's some locked-in national team starter numbers there! KRook 11 receptions to Plummer's 27 (Moki 5). This is what I'm getting at - it doesn't matter who else you have out there in SR with Plummer (or Frantti) she's getting every serve. Might as well have someone who's not going to hit .047. Or go completely the other way and pair KRook with another really good passing OH and count on being in-system all the time (like Tokyo). The "one-of-each" approach is useless because the weaker passer gets every serve anyway.

Week 1 Carlini, Hancock Thompson, Drews Ogbogu, Washington, Donna, Hall Cook, Frantic, Plummer, Lanier JWO, Fleck Week 2 Carlini*, Evans Thompson, Samedy or Mims Washington, Hall, Butler, Donna Frantic, Kingdon, Bajema, Skinner JWO, White Week 3 TBD * I was going to leave Carlini off Week 2 but she needs revenge against Japan for last year's VNL.

Also trying to choose OHs and MBs while being considerate of the wear/tear from the pro season and giving the "big guns" rest is... rough. With so many vets hurt/retiring, we really need to develop some options there.

With so many vets hurt/retiring, we really need to develop some options there. If anyone is in the CL final, that is May 20 or 21. So they won't be there that first week (or shouldn't be) the italian league finals ended the first week of May last year... so there should be some time for "rest"... but I imagine they could wait for week two for them too.

Something tells me it's Carlini and Hancock from here on out. At this point Karch will need to solidify and stop playing with people... Time is running out. I really think the only position open is for the 3rd MB and the 4th OH. For me Krob/Plummer/Frantti have it locked due to attrition at this point. JWO won't be challenged this late in the game and there are nobody close to Drews/JT.

Yes, agreed, but will he ride those players through weeks of VNL or will he bring less experienced players to rest the A squad? And if so, whom?

What’s SWP’s injury, will she not be healthy by summer?

What’s SWP’s injury, will she not be healthy by summer? I defer to avid 2.0 on this one. (Word on the street is she didn't buy any of Cook's merch, so she may have been voted off the island. The "injury" is a cover up, but you didn't hear that from me!)

SWP has some sort of shoulder issue. Idk how long it'll last... but she hasn't played since like December or something like that.
