Bad idea. WCH isn't for experience it's for the experienceD
I feel like the USA doesnt care much for the results of the World Champs. They are no longer the defending champions anyways.

Even if Khalia, Avery, Jordyn, etc. return for Week 3, isn’t it a bit too late now? Sullivan might still bench them because they don’t have in-game rhythm.
Also curious how he’ll form the World Championship roster, will he stick to this VNL wide roster or invite the veterans back to the gym?
I think the USA should just go with this pool of players for the World Championships to gain experience. Its too late to integrate the veterans. They should just aim to have a stronger pool of players for 2027 World Champs and 2028 Olympics.
Great showing by the US women against Serbia. Madi Skinner should remain as an Opposite. Sarah Franklin should start every match if she can. Very good VNL debut by Lexi Rodriguez. And Sullivan should stop with the Lednicky agenda.

They *need* a veteran OH who is not named RJP!
I don't think you get it.
Sullivan is a nobody hence Carrie Underwood. If you're going to use pop terms don't abuse it
Yes. Lets make it a big deal lol
JLo? More like Carrie Underwood
Well Mariah doesnt know J.Lo so it fits
Playoffs are changing top 4 four + best of 3
Now if they can add at least 2 more teams in 2027 that would be great
Someone saying Arina wouldn't fit into Conegliano's system when they had Plummer and Gray recently lol
All three are bad passers that is their similarity. But they require different sets when hitting. Both Gray and Plummer need fast sets, mostly Gray. Arina needs higher sets which Orro can definitely provide.
I do not think that Imoco would ever consider signing Arina. She is not suitable for their setting system at all. Ana Cristina would be a possible option for them in the future. If Arina left Fener the most possible destinations would be Scandicci, Ecza and Milano.
I agree. Arina does not fit Imoco's system. Imoco relies on good reception to allow Wolosz to do what she's good at.
Sullivan probably doesn't know who Guidetti is either
Well, in this case, Guidetti is Mariah and Sullivan is J.Lo Sullivan will never reach Guidetti's level.

The previous post by volleyball22 was removed. This is the new post.
Is it really viable to convert Madisen to OH? Sure, she can improve her passing but she isnt even playing overseas where the level of serving is way higher than LOVB. Playing in LOVB as Opposite then playing in national team as OH is really against her favor.
I just watched Sarah Pavan and her husband's commentary regarding the 1st week of Women's VNL in Youtube. And the blunt way she described USA and Canada's performances just made me chuckle It was very informative and insightful though.
Korneluk is a way better blocker than Yuan. For a team like Fenerbahce who has 3 scoring pins, they need a blocking MB not a scoring MB not that Korneluk cant score though.
Bulgaria broke Canada’s morale in set 3 and 4 but Canada totally demolished them in the 5th set. Canada’s biggest struggle is definitely their mentality.
I read in X/Twitter that USA and Russia will be having a friendly match?
No. What I meant was is the league competetive enough for someone as her caliber.
I can say that LOVB can compete with the best German, Polish, Russian, Brazilian teams but definitely not the best Turkish and Italian teams.

But why is Kami Miner not here?
I think the new head coach does not watch or monitor international volleyball that much.
