Stephanie Enright (PUR) is retiring.
Not really retiring, but kinda. Robyn Ah Mow is leaving coaching.
Any rumors about who will take over RAM?

I didn't watch much of this season, but based on the selection
Jin Jiabao > Shan Linqian
Guo Zhongnan > Wan Ziyue and Yang Jia
can anyone confirm?

At one point Wang Yuanyuan and Yang Hanyu were on a similar level, but Wang YY put in the time and practice to elevate her skills. Yang is still the same player she was a couple years ago, a strong quick attack but weak block. There's young middles that can do the same, ex. Chen Houyu.

Cos-Okpalla!

can't wait to see more of Dong Yuhan with the NT next year! her reception needs more work, but hopefully the coach uses her more this season to develop that skill.
Li Chenxuan is also another one to watch out for.

Actually both teams have good spikers but in terms of their setters' performances, Xu Xiaoting is more experienced than Zhang Zixuan. Xu's deliveries are more varied, going to all corners and at times quite deceptive. Zhang's sets are more predictable, going mostly to the wings, especially to Wu MJ. Fan BN got very few deliveries and their MBs are underused, I feel
Zhang couldn't use the middles as much because the passing wasn't stable. Gong was their best passer and without her Shi Hairong had no choice , but to use and hide one of Tang Xin/Zhou Yetong.

Her ankle and shoulder seems not good, she didn't get enough time to recover.
Yes, there was something off about her. Her swings still pack some power, but movement is still on the slower side. She got even more exhausted when fujian kept attacking her and serving short making LYY use more energy dropping to the ground.
Liu Meijun may be small, but I like her energy! She's already surpassing Wang Yizhu and Chen Boya who haven't made major progress it seems.

San Giovanni is in desperately need of an opp so I think it could be an opp. Any players come to mind?
Maybe Yang Shuming from Shanghai, MVP/Best Opp at the 2024 U17 WCH.

Display MoreIt would appear that Zhuang Yushan will be one of the two Chinese reinforcements that Fener will send to San Giovanni...
It's considered a done deal, and the girl will arrive in a couple of weeks...
A "strong arm" player is expected to arrive with her: does anyone have any ideas on this?
expectations: Wu Mengjie, Dong Yuhan, a promising youth
reality: Wang Yunlu or a former B Team player

The Women's U21 WCH took a break today so I caught up with videos of earlier matches. Did anyone watch China vs Dominican Republic ? For sure there are better players than no 3 Shan Lanfeng (she's the only one with pony tall) in the opposite position. She played the whole of set 1 and scored 1 point serving. All her swings were either hit out, blocked or just went over softly and easily picked up.
She didn't start set 2 but came in at 20-10 as a service sub, then was benched for set 3. Her replacement..no 2 Ji Yu-xiao seem to be a much better player !
Hello coach? Can I have a word with you please?https://www.youtube.com/live/jHJXZSCZBdQ?si=UsEKNSZttpf7I_Yx
My guess is favoritism since Shan is a Beijing player while Ji Yuxiao is from a less popular/strong team in Zhejiang.

the video about her present situation:
if this is her current form then I think she'll be skipping WCH.
sad to see her like this
, keep fighting LYY and come back when you are ready

Gao Yi lacked the seriousness when it came to training.
She has the tools athletically to be another Yuan type middle since her reach is high and her mobility is good, but her attack doesn't have the same power.

Get:
Wang Wenhan, Yang Jia (?) Wang Aoqian to join Wang Yuanyuan as MBs
Zhou Yetong and Fan Boning to join Gong as Opposites
Xie Shengyu to join Zhang Zixuan, setters
Xu Jianan to join Wang Mengjie , liberos
Li Chenxuan to join Dong Yuhan, Wu Meng Jie and Zhuang Yushan as OHs
KUANG QI to replace Zhao Yong !
I want to see Chen Xiaohui to join these young middles. She can push them and steal a roster spot.
-
Dalia Wilson. She tried to be an OPP in Kansas State then move to Miami as MB. She was average IMO
Yes!! Thank you!
Probably should've stayed in Europe for training. The moving, switching schools, switching positions just delayed her progress.
-
what happened to that Turkish girl that had American ties (the father I think) then went to Serbia or something for training, but eventually decided to give the NCAA a shot then transferred schools because she wanted to transition to opposite instead of playing middle? lol

Update on Gong's injury:
She twisted her ankle slightly, doctors said it might take 1-2 weeks to recover.
*imo, coach should get Fan Boning ready to replace her in the finals if necessary. I'm not really confident Yang Shuming can do the job.
in the match against USA, Yang had trouble getting past USA's block and kept hitting straight into it.
If not Fan, I wonder if they can move Dong Yuhan there? Not sold on Tang Xin either. Or maybe they move Zhuang there and have her play the passing opposite role with Wu and Dong as the outsides?

18 yo 196cm agile with quick hands, need to develop stronger arms and generally upper body strength to block effectively. She has quick reflexes and is alert. With more experience will make a really good middle blocker.
she looked much better than Wan Ziyue. Wan needs to work on her speed, she's a bit on the slower side and doesn't jump as high.
