Because she sets the back row WAY more than any previous setter. Based on this sentence, I assume you’re talking about Hancock?

It might have been mentioned before, but Carlini seemed to set the middles too low everytime. Dixon and Washington aren't known as our high-flyers. What's happen Chiaka, Foluke and Adam's become involved?

Pretty fair assessment. I would add that she’s still young in what she’s doing leading this team. I mean it’s been 2 pro seasons, and she’s the starting setter for one of the best teams in the world. We expected this, but that doesn’t take away from the fact she still has a lot to learn and will need to learn it in 12 months. If she can make Haleigh Nelson a 2x AA who still has the school’s highest career hitting percentage (I think), it’s clear she CAN set the middle. What I think is happening is the “plan” is that the system is focused on the pins and, and between the heavy distribution between setting the pins back and forth so much it still kept the opponent block on their toes. She now needs to work on the connections with the middle so that she can incorporate it a little more. But I don’t think the plan should be to incorporate the middle a ton more. The offense is generally spread around quite a bit when you consider all of the pipe, D balls, C balls. I think the middle’s are doing their job, and assuming Foluke and Chiaka are the middles, that offense will be there eventually. Maybe Poulter can set the middle a bit better, just maybe. But Carlini brings everything else at a much higher level than any of our other setter options, and it’s currently no competition. I like your assessment. I agree that we don't need a ton more offense from the middle/slide but it is "in theory" a much harder attack to stop so I see why folks on here are getting worked up over it. I also think it is quite astonishing that she is as good as she is just two years out of college. I hope the team does well in Tokyo. We all want it to be a Gold Medal. But I think this team going into the next quad has limitless potential with all of the new young talent breaking into the roster. It is an exciting time and that position is definitely hers at this point. Not taking anything away from Carlini's development, but Karch got face-slapped last year at the 2018 World Championships and obviously loosened the reigns on his inexecutable system during the break between the 2018 and 2019 seasons. Carlini, like all of our setters, never looked comfortable running "USA FAST" over and over again, so I think what we're seeing now, is a setter demonstrating more agency on the court, allowing her to better reach her potential.

Well wouldn’t you? Karch himself just got quoted saying it was time team USA had someone terminal on the right side. Feed terminal. We do have someone terminal on the right side, but apparently Karch has no intention of putting her there. hooker?

We know who our OH’s in Tokyo will be and their connection with Carlini is there, everyone is on the same page. Would love to see Foecke, Lee, RJP, and Cuttino given the chance to develop.

Cuttino > Thompson but I'm biased. (This is assuming Karch requires one lefty.)

Waiting for Cincinnati's coach to make this announcement.
Oregon women’s basketball will be without starting small forward Satou Sabally for the first three games of the 2019-20 season.
Oregon women’s basketball coach Kelly Graves said on The James Crepea Show on Fox Sports Eugene on Tuesday. “One of the things that I always tell them, especially in the offseason — we don’t do this normally during the season but it worked to where it didn’t hurt us a ton — we say we’re also committing to you playing on your national team. That’s important; that will never take a backseat to Oregon. And that’s not the case with all coaches; I know a couple of coaches that have flat out said no to their players.
