Tica instead od Milenkovic is a must. I guess if Ana Mihajlovic has a good season she can be given a shot at being in roster during VNL. But that’s about it.
Uzelac, Ivanovic, Tica, Dangubic is already young enough and deep.
Does anyone here think Cajic might be considered (again) if her performance in Nilufer in this club season is good? I didn't get to watch any of the games when she played in the VNL, and I saw that she sometimes plays OPP than OH.
Also about Zelenovic, she doesn't play 6 rotations in NCAA so far, but she is often part of the 3 highest scorers Kansas when she is a starter.

I do not remember Ran playing like this before . Does he have a problem or just bad shape?
I feel like in general, the Japan team just does not have their usual rhythm in that game. Miyaura also had several attack errors throughout the sets.

first set was a bloodbath! For sure, the only players at the level Are begunas and maybe the libero (he did fine, will choose him for one of my fantasy teams). But for sure, it’s likely PHI will end in bottom 3. Btw didn’t know you were from Philippines! Ive learned only one thing in Tagalog from my Filipino friends… adobo and “ingat pok pok” lol
I was also pleasantly surprised by Ybanez's performance in this game because in previous tournaments, reception to his performance was always mixed since he plays as an OH in the local scene. (No idea if anyone here follows the recent news on him being considered to be permanently converted to libero, but I hope they don't, Ybanez is fun to watch as a winger even if just in the PH leagues only).

Slovenia squandered that second set. I haven't watched much of their games but seems like the new coach is rotating between the players
-
The way they stylize the name of the serving team is giving wordart, who thought of that

I am surprised MJ Philips and Tia Andaya were not included in the line up. Excited for the debut of Nitura and Loresco (also plays Opp and is way better than Cruz).
Philips and Andaya may still have the federation switch (?) issues, same with Laput probably.
-
I saw the PH lineup just now:
OH: Canino, Belen, Nitura, Gandler, Laure
MB: Gagate, Sharma, Loresco, Palomata
S: De Guzman, Lamina, Coronel
OPP: Solomon, Cruz
L: Catindig (Macandili), Nierva
2 will be reserves

Display MoreI divided them into two teams, and both could beat any team in the world
Matveeva/Romanova
Tolok/Akimova
Fedorovtseva/Kurilo/Voronkova/Kapralova
Koroleva/Lazarenko/Pushina/Fitisova
Alekseeva/Bibina
Kobzar/Filishtinskaia
Markova/Lazareva
Gatina/Kapustina/Parubets/Kotikova
Fetisova/Kochurina/Enina/Brovkina
Kostiukevich/Perova
OH's depth is so insane that I put Tolok and Markova as opposites and still left out players like Popova, Kuznetsova, Gorbunova, Biryukova and Chernova.
How has Suvurova been in France this season? I remember she won a best MB award/s in previous U tournaments.

Anyway Nina Cajic is a very interesting prospect to me. I’m a huge ncaa fan as I live in America and so I watch almost every relevant match in NCAA volleyball for the last like 9 years. Nina has serious potential to be good for the national team. I don’t think she has very best in the world potential or anything but she’s very smart and has a great jump and sees the block well. Her attack from 6 is fantastic! To give some context she had better stats than Madi Skinner playing in the same conference with less talent around her
I'm really excited for her as well and I hope she gets a chance in the national team. Hopefully she gets meaningful playing time in Indy Ignite because there are 5 OHs (including her) in their roster
-
Do you think that Vajagic and/or Cajic has a chance to be called? I am sad about Vajagic's injury, she seemed to be doing well in the youth tournaments before that although I have not watched much of her during the club season.
-
Canada without Gray and Bulgaria with new coach maybe some older players will come back, I don’t see it 3-0.
Is Gray retiring from the national team or just taking a break?

Jedinstvo Stara Pazova
Outside hitters:
Una Vajagić
Vajagic is going to Wisconsin, will the outside hitters also be coming from Omladinac?
Display MoreFirst big news, entire starting 6 from our champion Jedinstvo will move abroad.
It's time, they overgrown league and Jedinstvo will make transition this season with their younger players.
Players living:
Branka Tica
Minja Osmajić
Do you know which team/s Tica received offers? Garotta mentioned Cuneo but I don't think there are other news for her transfer so far.
Will the league be also streamed overseas? Two seasons ago, all the matches were streamed but I wasn't able to follow the previous season.
-
Herbors and Van Armaet probably will not attend.
Do you know the reason? I was looking forward to see them play here but alas

Now as for some individual performances:
Setters: Miljevic was solid as expected, she really grew as a player compared to week1, she didn’t play a lot but overall not bad.
Perovic was highlight of this week for me. Amazing performance considering it was her NT debut and she is only 23yo coming back from ACL injury. She was so solid in all aspects of her game and she showed she really has potential to be starter after Maja and Drca, she is already 3rd in line amongst our setter for me personally (it’s bias a bit cause I’m her fan for a long time
)
Liberos:Medved better then I expected. I’m too critical cause I’m not a big fan but she did fine. 70% positive reception is crazy good and there is no denying that but her defense is a big problem for me. Very solid performance and I’m happy for her, excited how she will do in LOVB.
Gocanin on the other hand was everywhere and her floor defense is amazing, she was best player on the floor for us in many sets when others were just not delievering. She can cover others on reception really well but her inability to make perfect pass in general and even on some easy serves is frustrating.
We really should have played 2 libero system and it would work so so well right there. Then again, both liberos got their chances and both played really well imo.I hope players from both positions get more chances in the next few events (especially the setters). I really liked Rada's performance. She wasn't in the VNL but I am excited for Vajagic in Wisconsin (+ Ivkovic in UCLA). Hope both of them grow their games a lot more in NCAA.
