Setting is subjective.
Startseva haters are always calling her predictable, mountain high ball setter or not precise enough to her middle hitters but Russia always go back to her when they're in trouble.

i have not followed this thread and coming late to this topic, but vargas has been playing for CUB NT since she was 13, so she might be young, but she's not new for sure...

And Goncharova got injured in the WCH, had she played against China, Russia would have a better chance. I think had Goncha played, Lang Ping would probably have played with B team, because Goncha would push Chinese Players really hard in the game....not something that Lang Ping wanted.
The problem with Goncha is that when she is in,the test of the team relies too much on her and slowly disappears.That may work against South Korea,DR,or Germany,but against equal or stronger teams,it's bound to fail.I believe that during that game (Russia vs China 2018 WCH) Russia was able to get a set (and almost took another,if I remember correctly) exactly because all the other players had to step up to cover for Goncha.

Serving really hard and consistently is even more important than reception nowadays.
I mean let's face it. USA is the best receiving team in the worldI'm liking your attention to serve. Seems that's a lot to do with Germany's surge last tournament.
Who else besides Robinson factors into USA being best receiving team in the world, though?

I don't know if that's a good or bad thing. It worked with Wilfredo Leon but that doesn't mean it could work for her. Maybe early on, there are advantages but it probably damaged her physically in some ways. She could have needed more time maturing with her age-group before taking on the next level.
Unfortunately, for Cuba... it's not possible with all the defections and it's been downhill since that time. The men's team a little less so and are improving but the women's team have been bad to worse for years. From my observation, there's a trend going on between the two and it's parallel to one another.

Hope Nilufer will win against Eczacibasi tomorrow. They really need a slap on the face to wake up and understand how bad Motta is as a trainer and finally find someone who really cares and is ambitious. He is like a dark hole eating any talent and potential in the team and ruining a great investment.

i'm sure it didn't help vargas when she played for the NT (when she was about 15) that the team was a huge mess, but i'm hoping it gave her some experience and maturity to develop into the player she is today. but she's done with the NT for a few years now...

She's still banned from the NT, isn't she? Thought it was four years of suspension but as you've said, it doesn't really matter anymore as Cuba won't be winning major tournaments unless they get their collective 💩 together.

OT: CUB international could have players such as vargas, casanova, salas, silva, etc. (who else is still active????) but who would be setter and libero?

Cleger
Santos - with great jump serve
Daimi the great
Silie - i think she's playing in a second league
These were the setters/Opps back then when they used 6-2 rotation in all their games.

Vargas is not reliable to play 2 games in a row at the same level. You can't win trophies with this type of opposite. There is no difference on her volleyball technique-IQ between the first game she played with fenerbahce jersey and the last game. She didn't improve, she was still just uncontrollable power.
JT is def better and will be much better.
You are talking out of your ass.
Last season Vargas spiked over 50% for the season 411/800. And some games she spiked over 60%. She was their best score in literally every single game they played all season long.
Kupa Cup semis against Vakifbank she won the game on her own by scoring 38 points hitting 68%.
People even criticized Ana a lot by saying she was overusing Vargas in every single game. Vargas carried them on her back all season long.
Vargas is 20 years old.... Jordan is already 23 (turning 24 in May).... Vargas turns 21 only in October. There`s a 4 year age difference.

In my opinion, Annie Drews have the internal quality to challenge Egonu or Boskovic but talent-wise. I don't believe she has it. Karch rejecting her in WCH 2018 roster for an unprepared Lowe hurt like a second-hand smoke. I felt for her that day but in my opinion she has the right mentality because at her age, she would have probably retired, got married and raised a family but instead she persevered and improved to an MVP opposite. That's some kind of chip-in-her-shoulder gene that's not very present among the american players.
Thompson has the talent but she grew up in an era where the system in place can actually limit her possibilities. I don't know if she'll ever have that fire to improve. I guess time can only tell and she's still young.
what do you mean by internal quality and how is it any different than talent?

i think she means the mentality and attitude.
But sports goes way beyond talent. I think Annie can do it! 😊

Vargas was injured before the season started and missed a few games. When she returned she hit over 40-50% in every game she played. That`s not awful. That`s great. And she was expected to help in reception, something she`s not comfortable doing.
Even Ceren put up good numbers when she played with the exception of one game.
The lies y’all tell yourselves to convince yourself your favorite player is the best option...
excuse me? Lies? Who do you think you are? Please learn how to talk to others with a manner, we don’t have to put up with your accusations and all. I do not lie. If you lie in your life and all, I DO NOT CARE A BIT. Just stay away from mw with your bottomless accusations and judging players by statics.

Why I said Thompson will not be or that She is not even near Egonu and Boskovic....
She doesn't have that X factor in her, She is not THAT bitch, She doesn't have that fire in her when She plays.
She is 23years old, Boskovic 22, Egonu 21 and even Haak 20....
She wouldn't play in Fener if She is not very good player, She is. What I like about her is that She can jump very high but her attack is not strong.
On another hand you have Vargas, who is pure fire, strong attacker but missing a lot of techniq in her game but that is something you can fix and upgrade, but your personality never.
Look She will be even benched when Vargas come back...
This girls were superb even in weak teams as Agel Prostejov, Crvena Zvezde or Club Italia....

Look at Ebrar She is THAT bitch, She has fire in her BUUUT She is not choosing the right path for her career.
She could challenge Boskovic and Egonu already but She is chaning her position, sitting on the bench etc. and etc.....
