I have been reading one of the threads on Volleytalk Proboards. It is the up and coming VNL Roster for the USA. Their matches start on May 31st and are available to stream on volleyballworld.tv. The cost is $7.99 a month and there are no contracts. Simply cancel before your next payment is due.

Our SS has made the team roster, but I sadly report that there is a lot of speculation on Volleyball fans as to why she is on the roster. She didn't play much at all for the Championship Women's Team in the Italian League, Cognolieano. Her fellow USA players were Kathryn Plummer, Jordan Larson and Kelsey Cook (Robinson). For those of you not all that familiar with these players, Plummer played for Stanford and was a complete thorn in our side. Larson and Cook both played for Nebraska, but on completely different rosters.

Some fans are saying that she doesn't fit in with the European style of volleyball and just struggles OOS. I find this so interesting because while she was our OPP for 5 years here at Minnesota, her stats came from her accomplishments, while playing OOS volleyball most of those years.

Anyway, I plan on watching these matches for three weeks into the beginning of July. Here's hoping Samedy can improve her game while on the USA Women's Volleybal Roster.
