Has the 14-player roster been released? I read somewhere that Larson isn't going to join the team until the Hong Kong leg. Also, I think Vansant made the roster based on her social media.

Peru looks good, with a lot of new talent. They have been absent from the world scene in a long time.

Based on Paolini, Gibbemeyer, and Dixon's twitter feeds, they all made it on the 14-player roster. I wonder if Karch is deciding to rest Harmotto and/or Foluke.

We're guaranteed a spot in the six-team final round, so I think we'll see lots of different faces through the intercontinental weekends. I don't know how much evaluation of young talent is necessary in the year before the Olympics, but what do I know.

More like we need to save the legs of our vets, who've had long seasons and need to be well-rested for both the WGP finals at home and the World Cup in August.

Can't wait. Can't wait. Can't wait. I'm bummed I can't make it down to HK to see the US play next week, but I've got China, Dominican Republic, Germany, and Russia this weekend. Eeeeeeeee!

There's no need for the projected starters for Rio to play in every match this tournament. Let them rest, recover from injuries, etc. That third MB spot is still wide open, especially with the uncertainty about Glass' health. I also think Karch wants to see more of Vansant, who looked like the go-to player at the Pan Am Cup.

Looks like the 4th middle is Curtsy Jackson. I wonder if Rachel Adams is injured. Also, I don't think Kelly Murphy went.
