I don't recall requesting to follow Janet Fiatumalo Bertagnini, but my permission was, apparently, just granted. She and Atlanta are following each other on Instagram.

Something to chat about concerning the college draft for PVF.
In November there will be a college draft. There are a number of factors in drafting.
Certain seniors may or may not use Covid fifth years. Certain seniors may transfer to another school for grad school fifth season. Certain players may go to Anaheim to train in the spring. Some players could get high level contracts overseas mid year.
PVF coaches have to not just draft the best players, but instead draft the best players who would definitely commit to play PVF.
Some college players may want to play for a certain franchise but they don't get to choose who drafts them, but could make it known they will play only in a certain city but if drafted by another city they will not play.
Who are the best players at each position who would likely play PVF and not go overseas, go to Anaheim for a chance at the NT, or stay a 5th year?
Who are the college players who could possibly beat out veteran pro players on some teams who have experienced rosters? Based only on players who would likely play PVF in spring of 2024, we - the VT crew - can put together a round by round draft projection.
35 players total. (Fact : there will be 7 PVF teams total , five rounds of drafts in late November )

Couple of things:
1 - Until we know the draft order (probably decided by lottery) this could be challenging.
2 - We've heard that college players will need to declare themselves eligible. With only 7 teams this first year, I'm afraid the draft pool will be pretty shallow. I'll be curious how many players will declare once the PVF gets to 15+ teams.

Idk how that works yes, but you can’t have an agent… messy

(Fact : there will be 7 PVF teams total , five rounds of drafts in late November ) I think the most speculating we can do at this point (and I'd love to hear people's guesses), is who'd be willing to take a chance declairing for the PVF even if it's likely they won't make a roster spot? Is there a quality player who needs to stay an this side of the pond for family reasons? Career outside of volleyball? Desire to help build the sport in the US?

Since the salary is set to be $60K, the issue of an agent doesn’t seem to be very relevant. In this PVF draft scenario, an agent won’t be of much use in finding available opportunities, developing relationships or opportunities, or negotiating salaries. There aren’t any obvious drawbacks to a player announcing for the draft since they aren’t obligated to sign or give up other potential options.

Local television station re-aired their interview of Claire Chausee from two weeks ago, tonight during their weekly half-hour sports news recap show.
You can tell it's the week of the fourth when they have to fill time. But, I'm happy they chose the interview of the Rise player over the Griffins new head coach.

Does anyone think there are hints to Omaha's team name and design within their posts? Not that long ago there was a shift in the colors and font choices. There's more of a deep blue and white with the gold as opposed to the PVF generic yellow, black, and white. And the font is some kind of cursive, very different from before. There was some references to a star or stars. Just things running through my mind since we have like nothing new happening lol.

I have noticed. It seems probable that blue, gold and white are the team colors.
Some of the posts I've seen recently lead me to believe that the league plans on dropping a bunch of information in early August during the "Dog Days" of sports. It's when all of the leagues are done with all of there drafts, most of the big free agent signings in the NHL and NBA are done, the NFL hasn't started their pre-season, and MLB reaches a point in it's season where the games feel unimportant and the players play a "boring" style during the hottest point of the summer.

That makes sense, I wish we were closer ugh. I signed up for season tickets and they told me they are looking at late July for the early sales.
