It’s going to be a toss up at each position, alll these players are high caliber. How many players are allowed on the final roster?

Nice mix of talent and experience across the roster, but I have to wonder what the plans are for Alhassan.

Well FLOVOLLEYBALL (FloSports) - Time to step up and televise the US A's 'Red-Blue Matches', and prove your commitment to volleyball for US subscribers! Should be some great competition! Note: JWO and Sarah Wilhite are on the roster. Since they are currently at the VNL; Does this give them a pass directly to the Pan-Ams? - Probably So.

What I'd like to see:
Setters: Lauren Carlini (Aurora, Illinois), Kelly Hunter (Papillion, Nebraska) Liberos: Amanda Benson (Litchfield Park, Arizona), Justine Wong-Orantes (Cypress, California) Opposites: Karsta Lowe (Rancho Santa Fe, California), Aiyana Whitney (Norwood, New Jersey) Outside Hitters: Adora Anae (Punaluu, Hawaii), Simone Lee (Menomonee, Wisconsin), Kadie Rolfzen (Papillion, Nebraska), Sarah Wilhite (Eden Prairie, Minnesota) Middles: Inky Ajanaku (Tulsa, Oklahoma), Chiaka Ogbogu (Coppell, Texas), Haleigh Washington (Colorado Springs, Colorado), Carly Wopat (Santa Barbara, California)
Setter thoughts: Not saying Hunter deserves it over Poulter, but I imagine Karch will default to the players who have graduated.
Libero thoughts: I guess Karch likes Knop, so I could see her making it on over JWO, although I'd like to see JWO get another chance to start. Would like to see Benson as well, since she got shafted in the VNL after Week 1.
Opposite thoughts: Fan of Krystal Rivers too - honestly would like to see what both her and Aiyana can do, but I imagine (especially with all of the buzz) that Lowe will start.
Outside hitter thoughts: I imagine Kingdon will get the nod, but would reeealllly like to see Anae, Lee and Rolfzen.
Middles: At least one of the Tapps will probably take one of the above spots (probably from Wopat).

Haven't seen any pressers about her signing a pro contract From what I’ve seen, she’s still in Florida, apparently helping out with the Gator Camp this week.

Completely agree that Washington is not as good in front of the setter and until her senior year barely hit there. However, it is not to the same extent Alhassan does running behind the setter. She can at least run the pattern and in her senior year hit there at a very good percentage. Difference was, she was unstoppable behind. When given the choice, split the block.

Hope Mitchem can make the roster. I’ve always wanted to see what she could do on the national team
