Logan Tom is coming out of retirement to join the third season We wish the US national team should be there to take notes and stop making excuses for Cook and Carlini and know the job an OH to take out the trash being smart of where to set the ball dead ass saw yet another Carlini slight and figured it was likely from whoha99 before confirming. I win.

Im excited to see what Gabby can do. do you think she will ever get a shot at getting an invite to train with the senior team? she would have to extremely good and would only ever be used as a double sub option, she'll never be put in the front row for USA or any top pro team, opposing OHs would score at will. with usa usually only bringing 2 setters on travel rosters, its too risky to bring blossom imo in the case of an injury to the other setter which would force them to put her in the front

Madi Skinner knocked SD out of the final four single handily over Blossom’s block. if Madi Skinner can do it as a junior in college… I don’t really wanna imagine letting pro outsides get a turn with it😭

Are those two inches really doing that much work?

Micha actually gets over the net...these aren't the perfect images to compare since the angles aren't quite right and age and stuff but: vs there's levels to undersized
