USA Volleyball has recently been experimenting. The VNL revealed that coach Erik Sullivan is keen on building the next generation of stars for Team USA. “Giving an opportunity to some of the less experienced players is one of our big goals this summer,” Sullivan said after their final VNL group stage game against China. The team’s hunger to compete was also apparent.
The US national team dropped its wide roster for the upcoming World Championship even before the VNL finals kicked off. Once again, the players selected for the wide roster reflected the trend of a handful of seasoned veterans and many young talents. So you’d think USA Volleyball won’t miss any chances for rising stars like Lexi Rodriguez, Logan Eggleston, Rachel Fairbanks, and others to gain some international experience, right?
Well, that’s the impression Team USA initially gave as they looked poised to take on the best team in North and South America at the XXII Women’s Pan American Cup. Yet, in a mysterious twist, USA Volleyball has suddenly pulled out of the competition at Colima, Mexico. What’s even more confusing is that USA Volleyball put out an official statement only to delete it later.
