If I did my math well, these are the players without official teams:

Laura Dijkema

Ailama Cesé
Nova Marring

Nia Reed

Keyt Alves

Dijkema -> Houston (rumored)

Cesé -> Atlanta (only team with only 2 OHs)

Marring -> Atlanta (only team with only 2 OHs)

Nia Reed -> Los Angeles (Houston and San Francisco are supposed to have closed their rosters)

Keyt Alves -> Atlanta (Miami and Nebraska are supposed to have closed their rosters)

It leaves open spaces for:

- a second setter in Madison and Nebraska

- a second opposite in San Francisco and Houston

- a fourth middle in Madinson

- a second libero in Nebraska and Miami.

Guereca in Miami

Miami is likely reaviling the roster today...

Quote from bobaas

They didn't announced any OPP yet. Two spots left.

They will reveal opposites today. They revealed the full pack for position day by day.

Quote from Sassy

Don't they have these "star lovb athletes" anymore like they did year 1? (Lexi, M Skinner, Franklin, Mruzik, Fisher and Fairbanks iirc?)

I guess they do.

Meanwhile Minnesota closed the OHs pack with Sarah Wilhite, as expected.

Quote from Sassy

Both Atlanta and LA are still "missing" 2 OHs, right? I would love for Britte & Nova to end up together so it makes it easier for me to support watch them but at the same time I wouldn't mind Nova ending up in Atlanta because they have Pimpichaya & Piyanut (& Tia) so that's also a cool team to root for!

Atlanta 2 OHs

Minnesota 1 OH (unless they announced someone in the last minutes)

Miami likely 3 OHs (Hoengen is likely going there)

LA 2 OHs (1 could be Guereca)

It seems LOVB has to sign few more players to fill all the rosters). Some setter, libero and opposite and maybe outside hitter players are missing...

Quote from Matthias

OMG there are two of them?

Both average players. Probably the bottom 2 liberos of the pack. But they bring social media fans... LA had 10k + when they signed Keyla.

Quote from Matthias

Alves has been announced by LA.

It's her twin sister.

In MLV Orlando Valyries announced Claudia Dillon and Juliet Lohuis

LOVB Miami is the only team that did no reveal a single player yet, but we almost know all the other roster (excluding few players on a few positions).

S: Raquel Lázaro

OP: Nia Reed, Tara Taubner

OH: Ailama Cesé, Hannah Duchesneau, Helena Hoengen, Michelle Ohwobete, Mychael Vernon, Nova Marring, Uxue Guereca

MB: Britte Stuut, Mina Popović, Raven Colvin

L: Keyt Alves, Miiku Iwasawa

Bold could be matematically sure (unless I forgot someone).

Hoengen and Lazaro were rumored to play for Miami a while ago.

I have a feeling Guereca will play for LA.

Quote from mintonette

I love the roster of LOVB San Francisco! Hope the trifecta of the asian representation in the team makes the first 7 especially Jaja in the middle and Pornpun as setter. Not familiar with EMP's game and the middles aside from Gray (who is a lock in as starting middle for sure). The roster looks promising.

Where did you get Jaja, Gray and EMP?

I only see 6 players on their IG page, including founding player Kelsey Robinson.

Edit: EMP just showed up.

Quote from jaeden85

S: Ana Luiza Berto, Marina Sioto, Bechis

OP: Stysiak, Tifanny, Lorrayna

OH: Brambilla, Amanda, Rebeca

MB: Larissa Besen, Mayhara, Lays

L: Marcelle

Super weird roster.

What is the point with 3 possible starters on the opposite position? Are Tifanny and Lorrayna so bad nowdays?

Quote from Forza-Novara

Somebody can confirm Ze Roberto as LA coach?

He wasnt announced yet.

Minnesota so far looks very nice as well...

Cesar Hernández

Brooke Mosher / Sydney Hilley

Tori Dixon / Emily Thater / Amandha Sylves / Morgan Perkins

Aleksandra Szczygłowska / Kylie Murr

LA powerhouse keeps growning.

Rachel Fairbanks / Carli Lloyd

Kathryn Plummer / Madison Kingdon

Annie Drews

Haleigh Washington / Sami Francis / Onye Ofoegbu

Key Alves

The only weak link is the libero. So far the weakeast announced by any team... Back up liberos from other teams are better than Alves, but I guess they wanted her for marketing... their followers increased by 10k yesterday...

Los Angeles will be crazy strong.

Fairbanks / Lloyd

Plummer / Kingdon

Washington / Francis

Wasn't Annie Drews rumored to play there too?

Let Russia play European League in 2027 and the problem is solved. They will win the tournament and make it to VNL withouth any drama for 2028.

Is AUV still active in 2026?

All rosters of LOVB are updated in the first post.

I wonder what Carlini did to have her team filled of mid players, while all the good ones go elsewhere. Hopefully Colyer actually goes there...
