Sincere thanks for all the posts encouraging me to return to participating in the DN forum, and to nyline in particular who has just made a transatlantic phone call to me! I did have a couple of days dipping into the VolleyTalk forum but the nastiness on there is off the scale, so I've deleted the site and won't be visiting it again. Nyline and I discussed the new signings, among several other things, and although Rollins and Pritchard are great additions, I do feel for Annie Cate who has come in as a freshman and given her all in front of no fans and now in the fall when fans can return, she will probably not be a starter. I'm a huge fan of AC (and also Jonni Parker) because when I coached my English Schools 16U and 15U champions in the 1980's, there were no liberos so all the key players needed to be good 6 rotation players, which is why I particularly admire them. I really hope that crowd restrictions are lifted when the fall season starts, as I'm hoping to come over again in August or September to see the start of what might be a memorable season. Nice to have you back. |

A fan can post his disagreement with others without using language that anyone would consider insulting. My apologies if I offended you. That was certainly not my intent. Perhaps, my understanding of the word is different than yours. My comment was definitely not directed at anyone's personal character. I try to be cautious about how I frame my words. |

To my inexpert eyes both look like really good players. I don't want to curse a player with unfair comparisons and expectations, but when I've seen Starck, I'm reminded of Megan Courtney. That's not to say she'll be the same caliber of player as Courtney -- not many players are -- but she seems to have alot of similarities. To my inexpert eyes. Next season Megan Courtney and Kathryn Plummer will be joining one of the best teams in Italy. It is also one of the best teams in Europe. May they both do well! If I read correctly, Micha and Haleigh Washington are teaming up at Igor Gorgonzola Novarra. Megan and Micha were rostered together on that team in 2019/20. |

West Ender/pennstate1973 - I've been reading through the recent pages of posts and you appear to be apologising to yourself since I believe WE and PS73 are the same person. Apologies if wrong, puzzled if correct... |

I have a feeling we are going to have more transfers, as the people on this team realize they aren't going to get playing time with the players in front of them, which is totally understandable you have a finite time to play this sport and if you would rather play than stand on the sidelines and root then it is in your best interest to go where you can play. Lauren I wish you well, good luck in your future endeavors. And as I posted this, westEnder posted McCall has transferred to UC Santa Barbara, McCall, good luck I hope you are happy.
