Just to share. For those who also like to listen to talks with coaches to fill the time without on-court action.
"Volley Junkies" on facebook (hosted by Puerto Rican college coach Manolo Concepcion): https://www.facebook.com/volleyjunkies
Latest two episodes were with Antiga and Guidetti, scheduled are Athanasopoulos, Bernardinho, Barbolini among others.

Nice to see her get a chance in Bundesliga. Curious how she will do there.

TS Volley Düdingen signed Danish OPP Trine Noer Kjelstrup (Vasas Budapest) and American OH Rachel Giustino (Murray State (NCAA)).
From the one Champions League match i remember her, i think Kjelstrup might be a very effective attacker (and server) in the Swiss League. Looks like Giustino has been a tireless scorer in one of the weaker conferences (she ranks 3rd in total number of kills and kills/set in whole NCAA Div.I for last season).

I can see them challenge Sm'Aesch, Kanti, and NUC if all works out well.

Pity. Saw her play with Maribor in a european cup match some years ago. All the best!

Jenna Gray follows Dresden and many Players like Cyris, Dürr etc .on Insta😎
And here's the podcast interview from youtube (listen from 10:30 to 11:30) where she said that she's going overseas to play volleyball in the fall and wonders if she could practice at least a little bit javelin throw while being there ("they're really good at javelin in Germany" if i understood it correctly).

IF they really signed Hentz, then i think the setter might be Jenna Gray. I think she will play in Germany next season. So why not together with her friend?

Yamila Nizetich to Béziers (FRA) is official: https://www.facebook.com/bezie…1806372/2575178162582275/

Maybe Hentz could share playing time with someone more experienced (like Lenka Dürr)?
-
American MB Meg Wolowicz from VK Selmy Brno (CZE) to VBC Cheseaux (SUI).
-
Brazilian OPP Julia Borges from UNC Asheville (NCAA) to VBC Cheseaux (SUI). They also earned the right to start in next European cup.
-
Any info about Dora Grozer and Elisa Lohmann? Will they stay in Swiss league as well?
Haven't read anything about Lohmann. I think Grozer leaving Switzerland seems pretty certain.
-
German setter Irina Kemmsies one more season with Kanti Schaffhausen.
-
Taylor Fricano (USA/OPP) also stays in Switzerland, but transfers from Sm'Aesch Pfeffingen to Kanti Schaffhausen (to replace the leaving Kelsie Payne there).
-
American MB Lauren Page stays in Switzerland but changes the club: from Genève Volley to Viteos NUC. NUC's roster apparently already is completed with this signing.
-
Natalie Hagglund retired arter 1 year of pro volley. She was a bench player for an outstanding Popovic. She never had a real chance to prove herself. Same as Vansant.
Kreklow and her husband retired together, having no interest on playing volleyball anymore. She was strong with NT and Dresdner.
Many USA players rather retire than stay overseas.
At least they can find jobs in coaching NCAA and give back something to the next generation of athletes. Like Vansant and Kreklow and her husband.
-
I am eager to watch how Stanford will rebuild her team since the great Plummer is no longer there.
Also Gray and Hentz might be hard to replace, not only as players but also as team leaders, i guess.
-
Ali Frantti said in an interview that she has signed in Italy for next season, didn't say which club though.
-
Austrian NT outside hitter Monika Chrtianska one more season with Sm'Aesch Pfeffingen.
