MLV said once more they will have 12 teams next season.

It's 7 returning + 4 expansion teams + San Diego or Vegas?

Vegas

didnt Chirichella tear her ACL?

I think the Serbian is the one volleySrb mentioned.

The Filipino is the opposite Solomon.

The Jamaican in Mychael Vernon.

Belgium could be Pauline Martin maybe? She's leaving Stuttgart and hasn't been announced or rumored anywhere yet AFAIK.

MLV looks like their level will be higher next season than previously right?

Potentially.

I dont have faith in some of the new teams (Vegas, DC, and NorCal in particular)

Minnesota looks good. Omaha upgraded. Indy should be the same.

So at the top they should be better.... but overall? maybe not so much. But then again, it might be more similar to a european league with the bottom teams being fodder lol

MLV has a salary cap, so that normally would be less of an issue. you cant just spend more like they do in Europe (at least for now)

It's just Vegas, NorCal, and DC are all entering the game so late (only DC even has a coach so far)

Minnesota was one of the first to get going and you can tell.

LA is just gonna absorb everything the Mojo had since they're folding.
