I apologize if this has been covered in previous pages. I don't follow the pro leagues super closely, but as a gopher fan, I'm surprised that Steph Samedy doesn't even make this 30-player long-list VNL roster. Is depth chart at OPP just that deep? Steph not panning out the way it seemed she might be based on last two years of NCAAs? Defense/serve an issue?
Edit: chance for her in L.A.?

Edit: chance for her in L.A.? its probably a mix of karch being karch and it being an olympic year. this was Samedy's best pro year by far. but she did have some ups and downs.

Logan may of turned down the offer. She might be making bank with her summer camps and saw that as a better use of her time rather than riding bench or having only a limited amount of time playing to break into the A roster, where the opps are already established. But, let’s go ahead and blame Karch without knowing full story. I’m not trusting someone who says “may of” instead of “may have.”

On Samedy & Eggleston at Opp, if you watch the final 4’s in Italy & Turkey it’s pretty obvious. They are about the same age as Egonu & Haak, a couple years older than Antropova & Vargas. Those 4 are 6’4”+ with hops & arm cannons & some potential to be good some day….
In the great scheme Samedy & Eggleston aren’t that good as Opp’s.

Samedy had a good performance now and then, but shes just not that good. As “bad” as our top opposites can be, theyre just better. Eggleston is better too.

But she can probably surpass the others we have.

It’s about Drews and JT (and Cuttino, Mims, Pressley, etc.) The USA isn’t really dishing out great OPPs.

Samedy just isn't as terminal as she appears. Being low error as a trade-off becomes less valuable as the level of play gets higher.

Maggie Stysiak is 23….turning 24 in December. But she’s been a pro so long, her jaded indifference and level of sometimes not giving a single F rivals that of a 48 year old Teamster😊👍 Heck, Bosko is ancient at 27 (same as JT, Drews is 30)
All those internationals will be in Paris, LA and likely Brisbane.
