ok, the USA walks away winners of the largely meaningless Grand Prix and Pan Am Games. Now the real fun starts, the large International Olympic qualifier event, the World Cup, is fast approaching. All the teams (except Brazil) will be sending their A teams.
so lets get down to the nitty gritty...who is going from Team USA? Obviously we need to field the 7 best players to play against the best. To me thats
1-Larson 2-Hill 3-Akinradewo 4-Harmotto 5-Banwarth
.....Glass is still in rehab, so until we hear anything different we have
6-Kreklow
Lowe seems to be getting all the A team starts so far sooo
7-Lowe
Who do the remaining spots go to? Honestly, I'd love to see Hagglund get some reps with the A team. her defensive is superb.

I think Robinson and Dixon are in at this point.
They will take a 2nd setter, which may be Krek even if Glass gets healthy.
Not sure if they take a 2nd libero.
4th OH and 2nd opposite are unclear to me.

That's the prelim roster that 14 players have to be selected from.

Can you provide a link?

Glass can take Thompson's spot if she's healthy.

Aren't there only 4 middles on the prelim roster? I guess Jackson counts, but she's probably 6th/7th on the USA Depth chart. Odd.
