Three-time Premier Volleyball League MVP Tots Carlos will try her luck overseas after throwing her name into the 2024 Korean V-League Women’s Asian Quota Draft.
Carlos is one of the three Filipina spikers in the 36-player pool announced by KOVO, along with draft returnees MJ Phillips of Petro Gazz and Mylene Paat of Chery Tiggo.
If she gets selected, this will be the first time that the Creamline star will play internationally.
Meanwhile, Phillips was actually selected fifth overall last year by the Gwangju AI Peppers, which finished the 2023-24 season with a disappointing 5-31 record, before eventually parting ways with the team after the tournament.
Paat, on the other hand, went undrafted last year along with Jia De Guzman, Dindin Santiago-Manabat, Majoy Baron, and Iris Tolenada.
Carlos and Paat are currently in the middle of their respective semifinal bids with the Cool Smashers and the Crossovers, respectively, in the 2024 Premier Volleyball League All-Filipino Conference, while Phillips is expected to rejoin the Angels later in the conference.
Some notable names who are also part of the draft are Thai star Pornpun Guedpard, who was selected number one overall by Hwaseong IBK in last year’s draft, and Indonesian star Megawati Pertiwi.
