I doubt she'll see much playing time behind the well groomed Yumi Hayashi tho
Who is their foreign player?
Daly Santana

ohhhh. i thought she went there for a main spot guess i was wrong

With Toray Arrows losing Jana Kulan, Mayu Ishikawa and Erina Ogawa combined this season is like losing 60% of their offense. Toyota, Hitachi, Denso and PFU will have a shot at the playoffs along with Ageo, NEC, JT, Hisamitsu and Toray, the top 5 last season. This will be an interesting season; I think six teams will vie for the playoff spots?

Does anyone know the reason why Okayama Seagulls do not draft foreign imports other than Asian imports? I looked at the team's roster from 2019-2023 (2022-2023 season) and did not see one. Their local Japanese players are good defensively but could use a foreign OP/MB from EU, South America or US to boost their offense to be on par with the top tier V1 teams.

Thatdao and Ajcharaporn are rumored to both play in this league. Any team still has spot for them?

Thatdao will play with ageo. I just saw it somewhere. They switched team with santiago? Ajcharaporn might be Okayama.

can’t afford it. Team has basically no cash and does great on a shoestring. ASEAN players salaries are not huge but probably more than they were making at home.
I mean their squad has the largest roster of all teams, but many are signed while in high school, and a number of them from Osaka International Takii High school.

Jia Morado is my least liked Filipino setter. Overrated BUT she's a fast learner and very easy to get along with so I'm happy she got this chance. Good luck to her!

who is that? is she at least as good as any of the main setters in the league?

Setter from the Philippines. Probably the most well known here since she came from a top university. The Japanese equivalent of Waseda.
I'm not really the best person to ask this since like I said she is my least liked setter. There's nothing about her that particularly stands out to me in fact I always thought her tosses I would say in Tagalog the term is "bitin" or insufficient in English. I don't know if I can compare her to any setter in V League. Sorry

Ageo has 5 MBs already, Aoyagi will be the starter and Yamanaka is ready to shine, she was voted best MB when Japan team won the Asean Cup over a year ago and beat China and Vietnam. Suzuki. Kirusu and Gonda (MBs) did well at the Kurowashiki tournament wherein Ageo placed second to PFU. I hope they're given a chance to play now since Jaja left. There was no room for them to play since Jaja and Aoyagi were solid and effective MBs. Thatdao brings a lot of experience and defense but her services could suit other teams better. Toray needs an MB since Ogawa left and have room for an Asian import.

Sylvia Nwakalor (ITA, OPP) and Wimonrat Thanapan (THA, MB) to Toray Arrows
