USA is now world number 2, but there's like only 5 points between us and Italy in 5th i think it's not even that far apart, 1.98 points is what i see.

Props to the USA's 4 middles on an impressive weekend.
This and also to the primary passers on the USA team.
We keep winning the Serve /serve recieved battle and GOLD will be on the horizon

Out of USA's 81 receptions, they had zero excellent passes. Not a single one. That doesn't seem like a situation built for success. And this was with an inexperienced U21 team. The national team will be a totally different situation in terms of passing, experience, and being able to score OOS.

So maybe the stand on the 10 ft line pass everything with our hands CRAP that is so prevalent in junior and college in the USA really doesn't work in the much more physical bomb jump and hybrid serving of the international game. Just a guess. Very very rarely do I see any on the senior teams use hands.....cuz it doesn't translate

One of the reasons I love a player like Merk. He always takes it with his platform.

With Knight, Champlin, and Gooch on the back line UCLA won 32 games and a title. They passed with a platform. This u21 team struggled to pass the international float. They haven’t seen it very much. I would not put these results on Rowan. Also, Rowan’s serve is elite and will get better.

I knew it was going to be a struggle when I saw the list of chosen players. The OHs they have are not known for their passing lol

This may be another reason the passing has been so poor.
