Still no explanation on what happened. Was it injury, doping, conflict with coach etc🤷

I cried when i writed a list
Lol especially for setter part I assume😂
Serbian players are having good season overall. At least the starters (I exclude Dangubic as starter at this point). So the setter position will be decisive again. And in case Boskovic will take the vnl off again

Just to get back to topic while copra isn't around:
Sude Hacimustafaoglu is rumoured to leave Göztepe and join Fenerbahçe to replace Safronova. Sude was best attacker of Turkish Junior NT when she was competing underage groups but she turned out to be one of those young talents whose success at Junior level didn't Translate into success at senior level. This seems to be the destiny of pretty much all short OHs nowadays.
She will probably only play as backrow sub in Fenerbahçe. Pity!

According to ivolley Knollema to Beşiktaş
This season or next?

No, 2 opposite system is far more important for them than OH. Velasco prove it with Bosseti/Degradi/Nervini. They all can be replaced.
I agree with this. Despite the fact that Sylla played fantastic during wch and personally she was the MVP of the tournament but velasco's Italy NT owns their success to 2 opposite system. That's why I'm very curious to see how they will perform without egonu this summer.

Bianca Cucu (ROM, OH, born 2010) seems to be a considerable prospect. She scored 29 pts against Serbia today (ROM won 3-2) and had 27/53 in attack. Cucu already plays for CSM Bucuresti seniors in the Romanian first league, despite the fact she turned 15 y.o one month ago. Cucu scored 23 points in a game between CSM and Cluj in november 2024, and became, as a 13-year old, the youngest MVP in Romanian league history.
She was the most prolific scorer for ROM in U17 ECH as a 12-year old in 2023. Her mother Andreea represented Romania volley NT not so long time ago.
Cucu also had 14/30 vs Turkiye yesterday in a game where ROM was entirely demolished. TUR seems very strong on this level and have talented players on virtually all positions.

Turkish team has very good outsides and a great opp. Aylin uysalcan seems to be exactly what NT needed as backup to Vargas. She just needs to go to a team to play full time next season. Outsides Ecrin and Hiranur are both very good at their age. Also nefin and lara are great prospects. Unfortunately best player of this generation ezel Balık (MB) isn't in the team.

I don't think malual will see the court at all, it is really for training purposes. If Boskovic happens to be injured, they will pull Markova to opp position and play with cazaute/Dangubic duo.

Norceca kinda leaked it last December. Brazil, Turkey, China, Hong Kong, USA, Japan, and Canada
Only European hOST turkey?? While half of participants are European 🤦

Question for Turkish users: any idea why Ezel Balık isn't in the roster? She was the best middle from this generation, she was even a starter with with the generation older than her. Is she injured or her development didn't go well in a year?
-
Personally I prefer these cry babies over cocky Crovolley but people should chill. Turkish teams had domination over Italian ones in 2023 as well, and then in 2024 and 2025 it was other way around. And this year it seems like Turkish teams have the edge again. So what? It doesn't mean doomsday for serie a.
By the way I don't get this narrative of Italian teams are poor while evil Turkish clubs have a lot of money. Do you guys realize Conegliano has players like Haak, Zhu, Gabi, Wolosz etc in their roster? Probably each of these player is being paid more than a million. Same for Milano's roster

You mean The Bully of Sultanlar Ligi?
-
He could’ve actually put Mayu back in without sub since she entered instead of
bonifacio. Pull De Nardi or Herbots out.
Yeah he could have indeed
-
Ace queen did it again
3 aces in a row. Both antropova and Arina are serving at almost male volleyball level
I Can't believe tolok actually wanted to switch to OH, she is so good as Opp, actually big 5 will be called as big 6 soon
-
Orro is very messy today, it will require a monster performance from Arina to pull this set

Tolok is an underrated player on this board. Like Markova, she jumps very high and hits over the block easily, even if the blockers are 200 cm tall. Her height coupled with impressive athleticism makes her difficult to stop and enables her to hit effectively OOS.
She is in an amazing form, such jumping skills with a strong arm swing is a lethal duo and she is killing fener so far

I think she will take the place of 3rd OH, Dangubic will sadly be just defensive and serve specialist
Does Guidetti have any early info about possible +1 foreigner
or it’s just that +1 on the bench means he no longer feels the need for local OH.
Maybe they decide to give a shot to Aylin from their youth academy as 2nd OP and open space for a foreign player on different position.Tbh I hope Derya goes to somewhere like THY or Besiktas where she can play starter full time. Maybe they even keep her as 2nd OP in Vakif, but I doubt it since they rarely used it in this first half of the season when Tijana was still recovering from injury.
According to rumours Derya is leaving Vakıfbank at the end of season. I think 4 foreign OH isn't a bad idea for Vakıfbank when they have strong local setter and middles. This means ogbogu will leave Vakıfbank most likely and GUI will rely on Deniz Uyanık/Berka to play next to Zehra full time. I was actually hoping GUI to transfer yaprak and make another gözde out of her🥺

I meant among the new-er less established liberos who are in the running for LA.
Kojima has been well established top 3 libero for a few years already and she is 32 so I wouldn't call her new actually. Even fersino has been around for a while rocking serie a. Only young-ish is Marcelle. Similar to setter position, liberos also tend to reach their peak after 30s.
I would also include Gelin among top liberos, she should really go to a club she will play full time

This mistake is surprising, because Russia has usually worked very effectively with other players, especially from former USSR countries, like Goncharova. Apparently, they simply didn't think Kate would be such a star in the future, because I understand we're talking about 2017/2018?
How Russia lost Rava to France long time ago, do you know anything about this case?
Ravva was from Georgia, not Russia
