Vargas is the only noteworthy Cuban that has naturalized to a relevant team. And it’s so stupid lmao Taismary Agüero defected after the Sydney Olympics and won a World Cup with Italy in 2007. * She was inducted into the VB Hall of Fame in 2021 I am going to mention her. One of the most complete player ever. Can set, can play outside or opposite , can serve bombs behind the service line. She actually defected after the 2001 Montreux tournament. Sworn she will never play for Italy because she cannot imagine playing against Cuba, changed her mind and fought hard with Pinccinini for jersey no. 12

New here. I can only fairly pull from the time that I’ve been watching vb (since 2011). I’d go: OH: Kathryn Plummer OH: Logan Eggleston MB: Chiaka Ogbogu MB: Asjia O’Neal OPP: Jordan Thompson S: Micha Hancock L: Justine Wong-Orantes Really questioned myself putting 2 Texas middles on this list, but it is what it is. I think this is a terrific list... Question: Is Eggleston better than Foecke? (I do not have any particular loyalty)... Similar resumes... Just interested in your perspective

Logan Tom Kristen Plummer Kerri Walsh Lauren Carlini Foluke Akinradewo Bev Oden Morgan Hentz Hey, your lineup is very Stanford oriented! I have not been around long enough to remember Oden or Walsh, but many NCAA titles, and Walsh dominated the beach as half a team for so long. Overcoming my PTSD, I can't really go against the 3 Stanford selections from the era I have watched, and Tom/Hentz could cover most of the court in passing, leaving Plummer as a back row attack option. Walsh passed nails as well. She was in the passing rotation for Stanford while she was there.

I think we’re so used to watching Egonu and Bosko that we forget how powerful hooker really was. SHEESH some of her spikes!! Yep I stand by my assessment… she was so incredible. Also could play great defense!

She also like never won anything Destinee had athleticism that matches Egonu. Egonu has a little more height, but Destinee was a little more fluid. And both could be a little erratic/inconsistent. Boskovic operates at a consistently very high level for the most part, and is remarkably drama-free.

I’ve been watching hundreds of old matches over the last years to educate myself on past players and reading old match threads.
