I agree. There are some players that are reconsidering based on who has been signed/teams have been announced. That’s a good thing… I think it’s unfortunate the ATL OHs kinda jumped the gun… all of them could be starters in the league (and I don’t think any of them have ATL specific connections) yeah… could any of them break?

24 matches per team (+ playoffs ?) in 3-4 months, right?

So, for the third time, pro teams in other leagues have pre-season rosters that are larger than regular season. Players are constantly being reevaluated during camps and pre-season. Teams then do cuts just before regular season starts. The remaining players are placed in free agency where they can be signed by any other team.

I doubt Atlanta would wanna cut any of those 4.

I think it was more of a rhetorical question bc the person you're responding is reasonably informed about college and pro volleyball

24 matches per team (+ playoffs ?) in 3-4 months, right? 3 month regular season. Playoffs in June. I'm guessing each team gets one weekend and one week evening match.

I doubt Atlanta would wanna cut any of those 4. If the league allowed it, it would be highly unusual. Teams might be able to affect trades to make players happy.

Which means a lot of matches in few months. They definitely need deep rosters.

Well, it's 6pm PDT. We had one whole official announcement. No teams announced this week. VNL notwithstanding, pretty anticlimactic way to end the week.

While true, the PVF is presumably convincing these athletes to not sign with a team in Europe in the fall so they can play in this league. I think it would be really bad form to do that then cut them.

It would be really nice if they were a bit more transparent about roster sizes, how many draft rounds there are, etc, etc. But this league isn't doing things very orderly. I've been saying since the beginning that all of the teams needed to be announced BEFORE all this other stuff. But, nooOOOOooo. They gotta be all chaotic and stuff.

This is where I need to remind myself that the latest version of the AFL announced itself about the same time the PVF did, promised a 16 team league the first year also to start in February and they haven't even named one ownership group yet.
It's fine. Everything is fine. We're fine.

It’s not clear if there is a single league contract, or if each team is using their own contract language, or whether it’s a template or tailored to particular athletes.

I love seeing all the Atl announcements. And Dilfer keeps reposting them so I’m guessing she’s going to announce soon? Add Anna Stevenson as a MB to the roster and it’ll be like Christmas.
