We don't know it yet but we assume Kübra will be the official captain while Gabi will be the captain on court. Same as this year. Kübra is in Vakıfbank for longest so that how it works usually.
Gabi is the captain of next season. I think Brazilian media already confirmed that. I also (just by outside appearance) think she's the obvious best choice

Some prematch comments
From Karch
(about JT)
“I think one of the most exciting parts of the story here is that this is the first time that Jordan Thompson’s been truly healthy since her injury in Tokyo,” Kiraly said. “She did go to play some in Istanbul for a club team there, but never was truly healthy. And things went sideways. They were not very helpful there and eventually they parted ways and she came home to get healthy.
From Carlini
“Honestly, it’s really good to be back in a USA uniform and back with the team. Kind of like a fresh start,” Carlini said. “It’s good to be back competing and starting off in the United States, making travel easier and starting off the tournament on the right foot.”
“I was so pleasantly surprised coming back into our gym. There’s just this level of freedom and joy that we don’t have a lot of the time when we’re overseas with our pro teams,” Carlini said. “The grind is real. We’re over there for eight months and you’re really ingrained in those systems with certain coaches who maybe aren’t as open like our coaches are here with Team USA.
“Coming back and having that confidence and that freedom has been big for me, especially, but I know a lot of these girls are having those same feelings walking in and coming back in a USA uniform.”
I really like what Carlini said, she also gave me leader vibes.
Gave us a little insight to pro ball. A lot of the times I think the critiques we make of these player in their pro seasons are due to the fact that they're trying to play in a system in a completely different language often times. -
She literally signed to Imoco so I don't understand this rumor
-
For example Gabi can be replaced by Daalderop, and they still can have Egonu & Chiaka on court?
yes. Vakif benefits from this ALOT. Imagine past years, Milena wouldn't have had to stay outside the court in the tribune.
-
She is most likely retiring or taking the season off. I highly doubt she leaves Japan for anywhere in Europe.
-
Boskovic should ask for a better coach then if she has so much power within the club
lol this!!!! If she has that much power they should let her construct the team
-
And it is known if there will be a foreign blocker in FB?
do they need one?
-
I agree the second part but not the first one. I think the only problem in Turkish league was 2-3 teams which were designed to drop to Division 1 while this number is maybe 1-2 in Italian league. However this is not a norm, how does Karch know how Turkish/Italian teams will look like next season or the season after? It can shift drastically.
For me it would make more sense if he said, "Italian coaches are better than Turkish ones where you will actually learn things and improve" and this I completely agree.
maybe because past history has shown that top to bottom Italian teams provide more competition excluding the top 3 teams of each league! I think the rest of the Italian league has very good competition between each other.
-
What is gone happend with Natalia and her transfer to Russia ?? She quit or ?!
Well., I can think of a very good reason why that may be on hold right now...
-
Wow I'm so late, live stats anyone?
-
Yes, you are right.
But the past two seasons they basically just built a team around her, because the OHs almost never score and they dont even get a ball and the MBs are really good, but they are used when everything is fine only.
good point! Also they're losing Folie and DeKruif won't play much because of foreigner rule so I'm not sure how they're getting better...
-
At least she is contributing with her attacks and you know what you can expect from her.
Besides, when facing spikers like Arina & Vargas, unless they can sign someone like Koroleva or Danesi, not many MBs can make a big difference at blocking them. The problem is those top blockers won’t be willing to sit on the bench for most matches like Heyrman did, due to the foreigners limitation on court.when will they change this foreigner rule? Now this makes more sense to me why Karch told his players to play in Italy
-
Where did this rumor come from about Gray and Imoco. She is going to Novara with Poulter, no?
-
Larson is insane..... I know she's retiring be she is truly USA's best OH option, she has looked better in these few months than Hackley all season.
-
Anyone have live stats link?
-
Larson still got it man. How is it possible that she's getting nether with age?? This last year is the most explosive I've seen here in the last five.
-
They already have someone like Heyrman, Sinead Jack. bad move. They need a better blocker.
yeah this is strange. She will never get to play?
-
I don’t get it, why they don’t make 4+1.
Yeah... I am a little confused myself. I understand the intent of the TVF, so that their players get more playing time especially on top teams for development. But the thing is most of those players aren't playing on top teams, they're sitting the bench. And the ones who are playing probably aren't the stars or anywhere close to it. A 4+1 method would allow the league to be more balanced and for those players to shine on other teams, right?

she needs Gui just like Chiaka did
lol Chiaka was good before Gui she just unfortunately ran into Ecazimessy
