I'm fascinated by Tom and Hooker not playing for their national teams, when they could easily be starters. Are there any other Americans currently playing professionally that could have a shot at making this national team? (even the B squad). Are Arielle Wilson and Sonja Newcombe still lighting it up?

Wilson and Newcombe wouldn't have made the current squad. Hooker and Tom are really the only players missing. I'm honestly not sure how much Logan would add at this point. Robinson is making a pretty good case as a replacement in terms of passing and defense.

At this point I'm willing to trust Karch on his roster picks. Seems to know what he's doing.

There's a pretty big group in Anaheim, so it's hard to say anyone's missing beyond the obvious.
If you're talking about the B team, Crimes hasn't been part of the NT this quad but has been playing well for the pros. She could probably work her way into that glut of middles, but we have so many already.

Tom didn't look like herself in Cannes last season. I personally don't care that Hooker is no longer on the team. The one thing that has impressed me the most about the current squad is how well everyone SEEMS to get along. I don't think that was the case last quad.

Kim Willoghby still play's in PR not the strongest but is getting her reps in and beside this fast offence is what she like's most, maybe an OPP double sub ? I was so impressed with her and Berg in "08 OG'S"

A lot of people on this site overlook the importance of team comradery and this current squad is something really special. Also if lowe keeps producing like she has been and if fawcett can still score some points in the double sub, i think team usa will be perfectly fine in rio.

Robinson is making a pretty good case as a replacement in terms of passing and defense. This is retarded, even Larson choked in London and Robinson hasn't really been tested. Tom's our younger Tetyukhin and we need her!

IMO yes.
