If Berg can't come back, I'm looking forward to watching Courtney play. She doesn't have to be Supergirl - she just has to set Supergirl...

She is NOT ready for prime time at this level......she plays we will NOT win Gold! I know you're a troll, but I'd still like to hear the shoddy reasoning behind that assertion. How many setters have ever won an Olympic gold? What's the appropriate experience to win? A grand prix, world championship, etc.? No one really knows until they do it. You either step up or you don't. I have full confidence in CT. She's talented and as mentally tough as any setter I've seen. There's no reason to assume she'll crack under pressure any more than other first time Olympians on the squad. well said.

There is no question that Thompson can lead the team to a gold medal. She is an amazingly capable setter. The question is whether or not the team can emotionally accept her as their leader. That is the key to gold.

That is the key to gold. She's been on the NT for 5 years, they've been in the gym together and have known each other for at least that long. She isn't some new girl walking in off the street. I doubt there's an issue whatsoever. Plus, while she's the setter, Logan is still the floor captain and the player that all the younger players look to for guidance during the match.
