I miss Yang Junjing so much.
If only she didn't get injured, she would fit in well with Yan Ni and Yuan Xinyue. These young middles have got a lot of work to reach their level.

Given the recent performance at the cwc, who do you think Lang Ping will take to Tokyo?
To me at least, there are 8 players going for sure:
OH: Zhu Ting, Zhang Changning, and Li Yingying
MB: Yuan Xinyue and Yan Ni
OPP: Gong Xiangyu
S: Ding Xia
L: Wang Mengjie
That leaves four left, a substitute opp and setter, a substitute Mb, and most likely another outside hitter.
Substitute setter really is key, since the setter is someone who (ideally) touches the ball every play. It's unclear if Yao Di is up for the task given this last tournament, yet it's hard to find anyone in place of her.
Yao Di is the only setter right now with the second most experience (Ding Xia being the first). Although she had a poor tournament I think she's going to make it to Tokyo. Even though they bring back Diao Linyu year and year I still have yet to see improvements.
One things for sure, once the season is over there will be a long and tough training session till VNL.

Disappointing finish by Tianjin against a Guangdong team who didn't even have Kosheleva, Lin Li, and Zheng Yixin. Anybody know the extent of Zhu's injury, I know it's related to her wrist, but how bad is it?

I wondered why Dobriana only scored 4 points. Was she injured during the game?
Calf strain, out for possibly 1-2 weeks. http://sports.sina.com.cn/othe…doc-iicezzrr8466731.shtml

Well, Vakifbank should go as a Mini Serbia with Maja,Boskovic,Mihajlovic,Rasic and Vitra as mini Turkey Naz,Eda,Zehra,Meliha,Hande,Ebrar etc......That should be fun.
Wouldn't Vakif be the mini Turkey since they already have Zehra, Kubra, Ebrar, Cansu, Meliha, Gizem, and Gozde?

I wish they could both play, but one plays for SiChuan and the other for Tianjin. it's unlikely Wang will get to play much this season. Maybe in the 2nd match vs. Henan.
I honestly thought Wang Yizhu would sub for Zhu in the previous match against Henan. Yu Junwei was not a good choice.

Jiangsu does well for a team who didn't sign any foreign players.

What is Wang Yimei's role for Liaoning? I read some news that said she was promoted or something.
-
A lot of last minute transfers.

I was surprised to hear that UCLA swept Stanford. No update on Plummer yet?
-
Mammadova to Liaoning?

It's unfortunate that Sun Yan is sick. I think she has more potential and offers more than Xu Xiaoting. Does that mean Sun Yan cannot return to Guangdong once she is back to health? Hope she recovers soon.

The Ishikawa siblings on the front cover of a Japanese volleyball magazine. sitenoise did you get a copy?

Do they have an official website to view information on the league?

bumpsetspike lives in Hawai'i -- I reside here too -- the Na Wahine phenomenon is quite prevalent 'round here. Wait until 2020: Robyn's recruiting will rock!
They're definitely heading in the right direction. I have a few friends who are die hard fans and they said that a European recruit is coming. Care to share some names of incoming freshman who are joining next year?

We all want Foluke to reach that starter level come Tokyo. When will she give birth? Will she have enough to come back to form?
It was said that she gives birth this fall, so either this month or next.

I was a bit surprised with how well Hawaii started the season, but now they're showing their true colors (pun intended since they're called the Rainbow Wahine). The team relied heavily on their transfers Rasmussen and BVS, but with both out with injuries there is no one to carry the team. Now they expect their freshman to do wonders which is unrealistic with their little experience. It's a shame that their two outside hitter seniors Ross and Sibley can't do anything.

It's definitely best for the Dutch to move on from Morrison at this point and leave that bad energy behind. Whoever the new coach is the girls still need to focus and regroup if they want a chance in January.

Sounds like something serious.

I wonder which other NT members will be loaned for this tournament? Surely the will need depth in the middle so maybe Yuan. Tianjin alternates between liberos for reception and defense, Liu Liwen and Meng Zixuan.
