Does he have drama with Zhou Yetong too? He left out his own Jiangsu player who really should be 2nd/3rd option for opposite and picked up some tall girl from Henan not named Zhu. 
Zheng Yixin was tried as opposite before, I think it was at one of the Montreux Volley Masters and it didn't work. It might've been Diao setting her too...
Here's the thing about Zhu, Yao, and Wang: in the past when Zhu was in Turkey she was still listed but not called. Just like Ding Xia this year.
We know that Zhu has beef with the Jiangsu sports establishment (more accurately, they have beef with Zhu) and Zhang Chen is still the assistant coach. Add in the non inclusion of Yao Di (direct competitor to Diao Linyu), Zang Qianqian (removed from jiangsu starting lineup for Ni Feifan), and Xue Yizhi (formerly with Jiangsu youth, never returned to jiangsu even though the latter are missing middles) and the circumstantial evidence adds up.
I wouldn't be suprised at the chicanery behind the scenes.
It might be too early to speculate things, but if Zhu is really left off the NT roster come this summer once she's available then the volleyball gods will surely punish Cai Bin till the end of time.
Zhu Ting, Yao Di, Wang Simin, Xue Yizhi, Zhang Shiqi, Zang Qianqian, Zhou Yetong, and Zhuang Yushan could assemble a team and beat this training camp.
bad coach, bad.
Zhu, Yao Di, and Wang Simin being left out likely because they still need to finish their seasons abroad, but as for the rest it's a shame. They all should've been listed. Middles are boring, same ones and no new faces. I wonder if Xue Yizhi declined?? 
Poor Zhuang Yushan who has the most fighting spirit in that small frame of hers than all of Yuan.
According to the team press release Yao Di has some physical issues, same with Pietrini and Castillo
I seen something from Chinese media that her old knee injury relapsed and they had to remove some fluid.
Lolsss....I’ll believe them when I see the players playing in the league. Before the 22/23 CVL there was a rumour that Jong Jin Sim, the North Korean star was joining Liaoning, I got all excited over....nothing
Rumors should be taken with a grain of salt, it may or may not happen.
Either covid restrictions or other behind the scenes stuff may have prevented the North Korean player from getting in China. She could have also declined.
Liaoning rumored to hire a new head coach from Japan. Maybe they'll introduce some Japanese players?
McHenry is like another Gyimah (former UCLA/Canada Men's NT). Maybe not as explosive, but similar build and athleticism just with more sass.

Scary collision. I'm not familiar with elbow related injuries, but seeing it hyperextend that way makes me think he's out for the season.
Hopefully Ma'a returns in his place this upcoming NT season.
I hope Xue Yizhi can find a club in Italy/Turkey.
The Chinese League will adapt its formal schedule right, given the zero-Covid policy was lifted.
In that case, the Chinese League will become much longer, making it difficult for Player like Vargas to sign tow contract in one seaon.
Even if the policy was lifted it's still an Olympic year so CVA will likely keep it short again for so called "preparations"
idk where to post this
but NORCECA says U19 WWCH will be in Croatia/Hungary (Aug 1-11)
U21 WWCH will be in Mexico (Aug 17-26)
Won't the NCAA season be in session by then?
Vargas expressed that she would like to join Tianjin again next season. Add that with the likelihood of Zhu coming back home surely with Tianjin. Zhu-Li-Vargas 
This is Tianjin's best bet to participate in a Club World Championship. Obviously the other areas are still going to need a lot of work. For libero, Zhu convinces Castillo to follow or get Wang Simin. They need a good foreign middle, Wang YY and Zhang Shiqi ain't going to cut it. Even if Yuan joins I would still add one for depth. Maybe even get an extra setter too.
Would be sad to see them have Zhu-Li-Vargas just to dominate the Chinese League and that's it.

Are in one place Players in NCAA from abroad?
I'm not sure I understand your question. Are you asking which NCAA players are from abroad?
The commentators said that Ndavazocheva actually tried playing futbol, but because he was slow he wanted to try out volleyball. But I guess the sport is not really recognized in Zimbabwe so he decided to make his own team. lol. Now he's here in the US playing at the college level. 
All that hyping up just to lose the the first set, narrowly beating Ball State in the second, but then went on overdrive to win it in four.
Hawai'i having those foreigners who've experienced playing in international competitions puts them one step ahead compared to other players. Chakas (Greece) and Voss (Brazil) play with maturity, like they've had pro seasons under their belt. Thelle's (Norway) setting was shaky, but they managed. Mouchlias didn't have a good night which was expected as he takes awhile to get to form, but Galloway was able to add offense in his place.
For Ball State Jenness had a clean game and was the reason they were able to steal a set. Surely will get called again this summer for USA NT. Ndavazocheva (Zimbabwe) only a sophomore, still rough around the edges, but will get better in the coming years. He had some sort of injury after a serve and had to be replaced in set 4.
Hawai'i (#1) vs Ball State (#6)
Honestly Shanghai did better than I expected. When other teams were signing multiple foreigners and they only went with Bricio I thought their luck was out. Bricio came in and did her thing, but Zhong Hui really made some major strides in improvements this season and I hope she makes the main roster this summer.
Display MoreI moved this here to be closer to the NT discussion, hope it’s ok ....
I might just add one player to your list that I feel is deserving of a spot, but hasn’t attracted much attention, Shandong’s young setter, Xie Shengyu. When Shandong beat Jiangsu in the 5th/6th playoffs, little credit was given to Xie’s fine performance. She was able to set balls to Cleger, Du and Yang Hanyu with pinpoint accuracy....
(this was the second leg, if the clip is too long, just watch the first set from 8-11 to 10-16)
I watched a bit of the match and her setting came in clutch in the end. In the beginning and middle of the season she was shaky which is expected for a young setter like her, but she gradually became more stable. She's a good one to look out for in the coming years.
I left her out the list because I think she likely be in U18/U20. These players are between 2004/2005. There's no official roster yet, but good options to select from. Lots of MBs, but still need to find a quality libero.
