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😭 ive said it before on another thread but the only matches san Diego lost last year were because of opposing OHs (skinner and chausse) who bounced balls over blossom consistently. it would be cool to see her in a double sub situation but it'll never happen on the other hand, they really can’t regret it too badly. That team went to the final four on the (admittedly petite) shoulders of Blossom

That team went to the final four on the (admittedly petite) shoulders of Blossom it was a double edged sword for sure. blossom was what took that group from a 15-25 range team and turned them into a top 5 team, but blossom was also what prevented them from getting to the very top of that group. A net positive for San Diego no doubt

Was PVF in the pipeline when AU started?
This AU + PVF seems to be a good enough model to attract some talents.

I'm sure there have been people involved off and on with more than one of these three organizations. Could make for an interesting documentary one of these days.

"The world doesn’t need, in my opinion, another sports league." - Jon Patricof, Co-Founder and Chief Executive, Athletes Unlimited I rebuke The world doesn't need AU... It is great that they're attracting better and better talent because it is so focused on player experience, but the concept still makes it hard to become invested in. I'll give it another try now that Chaussee is in, but it has been so boring outside of one golden set that was the only real excitement in the entire first two seasons.

I think AU is/would be great if they know what their brand should be... (aka a fun offseason/exhibition style event/tournament) if they lean into that, vs trying to be a "league"

Trying to figure out who of the PVF players are competing. I could see this season being extremely competitive. avid 2.0 , with the day off of VNL, can you update the confirmed players for this fall season? :-)
