Quote from Colinaddicted

I agree Haak fits Imoco and Woloz very well. But one of the negative effect about Paola leaving Imoco is that they loss an important Italian player for domestic league. Santarelli sometimes have to rotate and use substitute to make sure there are enough italian players on court, using Gennari even when she has a bad performance. As for Championship, no problems.

It's not a big deal. They will rule the league anyway. Monza and Novara have weak setters. They can't be title contenders. While Scandicci is... Scandicci.

We all knew the only winner from the trade was Imoco: Haak drastically improved under Guidetti. She kills the ball in or out of system and adds unexpected good defensive skills for an opposite; and most of all she shows great attitude and fighting spirits. She fits Imoco even better than Paola.

Paola is a great player. No need to change her already. She has 5 months to work with Guidetti and improve ahead.

Quote from Janko

I can't be bothered to find the exact quote but he said something to the effect of that he knows how to stop Boskovic while Egonu cannot be stopped. Regardless of which one do any one of us think is the better player, one thing that is for certain is that ol' Gui was talking out of his ass, because he has rarely defeated Tijana on an NT level, and NEVER when it really mattered (elimination rounds of ECH, WCH, and OG; in fact, he only has a single victory anywhere on any of those tournaments, in group stages in Rio).

He can ask Potsdam how they blocked Egonu so many times.

Quote from paNathInaiKOS

I knew that.Panathinaikos was too strong for Olympiakos.They have very good OHs.Grothues is still one of the most balanced OHs in Europe.Papafotiou is very experienced setter.They have good MBs.I am really sorry for Medic.She is the best MB in greek league.Pity she played only in Serbia.She has to go back due to familiar reasons.Martha Anthouli is very talented Op.18 years old and she is getting better and better.She made a good game against Chieri,too,this week.

Otoh Olympiakos is playng with very weak reception.So so MBs.It's not because of Carraro's

presence.Think about they could be worse without Giulia's play.

Looks like after last year's Parisi coaching Micelli is that bad too.The Italians can not offer something helpfull...

Wilma Salas

I agree. That's why I think they needed an all-around WS, expecially when Salas is poor at both passing and spiking. not a new setter.

Was Carraro really needed?

Is Zoe Fleck playing the next game? I can't miss it.

Quote from avid

Kelsey isn't staying (as of right now anyways)

Is she supposed to join the new LOVB?

I'm in love with all these random shades to Terzic.

Boskovic is insane.

Yasemin already in control of the net. I missed her.

Boskovic rules the VB wolrd.

Quote from avid

Yes, yes, yes! I love her!

Portorican pills. There were few trades in the last days.

The first between Changas de Naranjito and Valencianas de Juncos:

Aury Cruz in Naranjito

Legna Hernandez and Paola Rojas in Juncos.

The second between Changas de Naranjito and Leonas de Ponce:

Nicole Cruz in Naranjito

Mariana Thon in Ponce.

Months ago there was another trade between Criollas de Caguas and Valencianas de Juncos:

Wilmarie Rivera and Paulina Prieto in Caguas

Jennifer Nogueras and Karina Ocasio in Juncos.

LVSF had to undo the trade between the 2 opposites, because Prieto won't be playing this season and Juncos didn't notify Caguas about that. Wherther Karina Ocasio will play for Caguas again is not sure at all, because she did't take well being discharged by the franchise she made successful. The trade between the 2 setters stands.

Official imports in LVSF so far.

Quote from Phil

Mancuso didn't play volleyball like 4 years. It might be their weakest link.

If she is just in decent shape, she's the best foreign player of the league IMHO.

Changas de Naranjito announced Taylor Sandbothe.

Cangrejeras de Santurce looks too strong on paper.

Valentin - Collazo

Mancuso - Kubik

Ortiz - Tellez (or Florian)

Seilhamer

On the other hand Caguas looks weaker than usual.

Elisaia - Ocasio

Enright - Williams

Hernandez - Caffey

Venegas

There is a rumor about a trade between Valencianas de Juncos and Changas de Naranjito: Aurea Cruz goes to Changas, Paola Rojas and Legna Hernandez go to Juncos.

Spelman doesn't want to play LVSF, si Atenienses de Manatì. Gloria Mutiri is her replacement.
