It's his original position. Speraw didn't move him to the middle until later in his UCLA career. |

I only started watching more ncaa men's the past couple years so when I saw him enter the match against Hawaii in the 2023 championship final and be the game changer, I thought that was his original position. He looked like a natural there! |

He looked like a natural there! Yeah it was a difference maker not only for the team but for Norris's playing time as he was behind quite a few good OPPs for UCLA. Same thing with McHenry -- recruited as an OPP, found his calling at MB. |

How is Norris there as OPPO? He wasn't effective at UCLA??

How is Norris there as OPPO? He wasn't effective at UCLA?? He was behind Ido David at UCLA as an oppo and likely someone else (I don't keep up with UCLA men's as much), so it's not that he wasn't effective but that he was less effective than other players at the opposite position. He was extremely impactful for them as a middle though. |

How is Norris there as OPPO? He wasn't effective at UCLA?? Probably the next man up that's available. Ensing and Hanes (I presume) are with the A Team. Bianchi, Phillips, Trubey are with the Collegiate NT. |

Matt Anderson answered a question on his instagram asking if he will play in the World Championships next year and he said he’ll take the next summer off.

We should expect many of the 'A' team players to take next summer off. No VNL, No Worlds, as the 2025 Worlds has no Olympic ramifications. Though I wouldn't be surprised to see Averill there since he loved the Philippines so much. |

mainly hyped for McHenry, but not a bad roster!
we'll probably see some combination of this same group to start off next years VNL.

Dagostino’s agent posted that he’s part of the squad… I hope it means as a practice player and not replacing one of the 12 (or 13).

There are quite a few extra dudes in the gym who are not part of the 12 and reserves Assume you are talking Paris Which is to be expected Word is that A Russell looks great and Tommy took a little longer to heal but will be full GO. Having Russell is the X factor this go round |
