Wow I never heard of 10 out of 14 players, that is really a D team ! Why so much substitutes, is there another competition a few weeks later ?
@Sherlock It's very much a “collegiate” team. As in USA volleyball decided to bring in some University players for experience. I am unsure why they decided to use this team, because the NORCECA championship is the qualifying tournament for the World Championship next year in Russia. But, twelve places will be allocated to top twelves not yet qualified teams of FIVB World Ranking and USA being the highest ranking NORCECA team in worlds and they are top 5 teams currently on the rankings, top 3 excluding Russia and Poland, they don't really need to worry about the qualification of 2022 Worlds Championships.
