Quote from Cofi

Honestly Zelenovic is biggest ? there although she is MVP candidate in Serbian league this season, her or Ivanovic.

Kirov is averaging 1 block per set in French league and 56% attack, her attack is really good. Ivanovic is biggest prospect but we will see what NT brings for her.

Yeah Chinese are difficult to transfer but LYY’s case is because of Tianjin rather then anything else I think. Wu and Yushan should be easier to transfer I guess.

Orzol was good and bad, her passing and defense are good but her attack is shaky to say at least. However if they can’t get anyone better she might be worth a shot as more defensive OH option in this OH drought on global level.

Where did you get that from? it will be next to impossible to transfer Wu or Yushan. I doubt Yushan even wants to play anywhere else except China right now due to her family's business.

Quote from Hassan Kadem

She'll probably just transfer to NEC with Shimamura gone

I'm ok with this

Quote from sitenoise

Japanese players always look like they are under duress

They look fine to me except Fukazawa she looks high and that hair isn't helping

Quote from Melo_oh

Will the playoff be in a Best of 5 formula?

Yes always

Mayu gained a little bit of weight imo but it's not a bad thing

What if the reason Hayashi isn't in the NT roster is because she's retiring

Quote from Phoenix

Did we not get everything we asked for

Japanese fans shunned Yoshihara. They demanded a foreign coach, we unanimously agreed.

Kawai said mm k I can fix that

We said taller players or this team will die

Hayashi gets dropped

Display More

😭😭😭

Sad we're not getting Valdes and Minowa

Quote from sean1

Kojima's entire clan except her 93 year old grandma just left Japan to finally watch her play live. More ticket sales

they rented 3 buses omg

who is kojima's nephew talking about? i thought his favorite was dani lol

Quote from Playmaker

Is Ziyan the one with a Nigerian background like Egonu?

I assume the girl is half Chinese not born to both Nigerian parents

I wonder if the Hawaiian girl from Saga will renew with them it seems they're only using her as an inhouse interpreter. I could be wrong but I haven't seen Saga's usual interpreter since she arrived. The one they had when Foluke was still around.

Quote from volleyb

I'm loving Kokomi Kawamata's game. She'll fight to get that starting slot at U21 WCH (with Miku going to Seniors NT)

I haven't seen her play but I'll try to watch some replays later. It's good that she's getting court time early. It helps to have more taller rookies join in on the action

Quote from Raf

I can't imagine Osaka not paying a huge chunk to get Mingardi (and losing her to Himeji) since they're not gonna get JT til the 2026 import slot opens

not if saga gets to jt first. they're going to tug hard

Minowa can change that

If only Araki Jr. can actually block.... Most of the middles are all for attacking with very little blocking. Takeshita has a record high of blocking more players than any of Japan's actual mbs

Quote from Karl

Seki's weak spot are the middles Japan still needs a stable setter that will give the middles better chances

Tashiro did ok at Galatasaray. She's an attacking setter with good timing and good defense. I would still call her up alongside Nakagawa.

Quote from sean1

Alain de Armas played for Cuba's U18 but he is still eligible for the men's NT selection this year so Santiago can represent Japan too

She is allowed to represent Japan

With the acquisition of Japanese citizenship, having participated in Japan Women's National Team training camp as a trainee in 2024, there is a possibility that she will wear the Japanese flag in the future. Her individual double crowns in offense and defense are a big asset. Having been selected for the All-Star Game as a league recommendation is proof that she is a top player in SV League and in Japan.

Mikoto Shima is a good example of someone who thrives when backing up a more dynamic attacker like Hayashi. She can't carry a team but she makes the perfect support.

Quote from Phoenix

Hate to see Denso lose any more games therefore it is with extreme displeasure to see Saga win this weekend. Except I still enjoy watching Nagaoka

I like sandbagging but it's just the inconsistency that's annoying.

I don't know what sandbagging means but unfortunately Samedy and Sakae are a match made in hell. Samedy just couldn't get into Sakae's tosses. Both of their foreign players should not renew.
