Italy - Serie A1 2022/23

  • As of now, Frosini is better and to she has more potential.

    For starters, she's 4 years younger and her technique is just better than Lorrayna's, who is mostly about jumping and hitting hard.

    Frosini was the best, among Loveth and Gaia, of that very successful U21 squad.

    No club gives Gaia a chance :white::white: also Morello, one of the best setter for the generation 2000.


    At least, Loveth is on the right track, starting at a good team at 20 y/o. Great future ahead.

    And we need that. With Antropova (which seems more and more likely!) and Ituma, we have good OPP options to play alongside Paola. But we need desperately need good OH options. I still have faith in Gardini and hoping that both Espositos can develop into elite OHs too.

  • She can become a good player, but elite I dont see it happening for her, she lacks the power and the height reach true elite players have

    I beg to differ. Sheilla wasnt a big jumper and wasnt the strongest hitter either but was the best. Frosini, in a way, reminds me of Sheilla (not comparing tho, she's a long way still).

    Frosini has all the shots, is a good blocker, good at defense and a good server.

  • Gennari was better today, but she is still a bit problematic in transition. Khalia did Khalia things. I thought Stufi and Butigan were good, as well as the libero (I dont know her name lol)


    Firenze is just a mess in itself. Herbots and Nwakalor were both awful. And I dont have words for Cambi :lol:

    Lisa Esposito probably wouldn't make it as elite OH but Erika Esposito have a good shot, considering she is already one of the best OH among her generation.


    Anyway, Omoruyi plays like this in busto definitely a good thing for NT.

    I chose to believe in Lisa. She was key to the U19 success. I hate for that generation to go waste tbh.

    And yeah Erika was great. Adigwe is also a good prospect. I really thought she was going to be promoted as backup for Haak since so far Bella is the only OPP in the roster. But I guess that it's too soon amd they also have Plummer who can play OPP when needed

    Cambi better look out, Guiducci is coming to snatch her spot.

    Hahaha. Gennari is good just need time.


    Again why wasn't Khalia included in the wider USA roster? Was it related to her dad passing?

    Nope... She wasn't invited (to the VNL team)


    She was invited to the Pan Am team, but declined (due to her family)


    Khalia, McKenzie Adams, Carlini, and JT with good weeks this week, laughing at karch

    That generation wouldn't go to waste, since all the starting line-up are playing in A1 now. Omoruyi, Emma, Linda and Armini are all starting players in A1 club. They need time to improve. Frosini Gardini and especially Guiducci need to work harder to earn their spot. Still have hope



    Adigwe has trained with imoco before the season started but it's still too early to call some 16 y/o to be a backup opposite in imoco. I would rather her playing in low level league than being benched all season in Imoco.

  • Wow. If having good numbers at the world's best vball league doesn't get you an invite idk what would.


    Anyways, I'm not expert on concussions but was it that so serious for them not to include JT in the roster? I still believe she could've made it in time. Not that the story would've been different but having JT on court would've made less excruciating watching the USA team playing

    JT was cleared before they left. She was left off the roster.


    (off topic: I wouldnt be salty, cause player health should be forefront... but she was playing for Monza in that time period) womp

    I was referring to Ituma's generation.


    Apart from Ituma and Esposito I don't see anyone else making it into Serie A, let alone the NT

    Exactly. That's what I saw too. That on top of SWP only playing in the final round and being a 'serve specialist' otherwise, makes me wonder what the hell is happening in the Usa team.
