to me, LOVB just seems like it will be the pro league that wins out in the long run. Am I crazy in thinking so? They clearly are much more organized and have a much more stable business model. Every announcement they make (adidas partnership, ESPN contract, 100m dollars raised) is another nail in the coffin for PVF. It seems almost inevitable that if one of the leagues survives it would be LOVB. |

I'm interested if anyone has opinions or thoughts on what each team's projected starting lineup would be. I don't know much about how all the US players stack up against the internationals  here’s some of my guesses Atlanta Bug/Cuttino Cook/Adams Jimerson/Magda Pannoy I really hope Grubbs gets some decent time in place of Cuttino. |

Just ask the extinct Pac-12, who hired two terrible commissioners in a row. |

Here's all of the color blocked jerseys (I would if making Houston orange would've been a bit too "Astros") .png%3Fformat%3Dwebp%26quality%3D100%26access_token%3DomFng4CY4i8wq1YdfbXaR8WEqGaH6_bo&w=2100&q=75) |

Tyyy. How do you think Gennari or Haak stack up against logan? any spots you think are gonna be tough to decide between 3 players? Haak is the best passer of the three, Gennari is a good defender. Logan will be the best attacker so it'll be competitive. I'd guess Gennari and Eggleston. I feel like Gennari is probably seen as the most well-rounded of the three, plus she's had some leadership experience. But I could also see Logan playing opposite? From her showing at Galatasaray last season, she's not necessarily far behind the other OPP options. |

The way we were begging Karch to yank Logan from her vacation and test her out as Team USA's opposite in the VNL |

Austin really went for quantity not quality on their opposites which is weird considering how good Logan is at opposite and the fact all of the outsides behind her are competent

Then, when she moved to opposite so late in the season, either it was too late for Karch to re-consider or Logan had made her commitments and was sticking to them. |
