Gasman had eight kills in Saturday’s 28-26, 25-20, 27-29, 26-24 loss to Canada. He led the U.S. in kills with 11 in Friday’s 3-1 loss to Cuba with one block.
The U.S. assistant coach was Spencer McLachlin (Punahou).

I’m now excited about the Gasman/Guliherme MB combination. Could be as exciting a MB combo we ever had.
If you look closely, it looks like Pat is cutting down weight. He was already just fine the way he was, but can you imagine a leaner, quicker version of himself? We’ve already seen James Anastassiades’s off-season transformation. Either way, way to go on your international accolades, Pat!
1. agree.
2. Gasman was doing the Keto diet for a while
saw anastassiades yesterday. Thought he had dropped more weight. he said he actually had gained some. but laughed about being more ‘buff.’
Also saw Parapunov yesterday. He said he had fun playing in the VNL.
