My guess is Molly Kreklow Taylor. Obviously this roster isn’t the most realistic lol The B middles aren't set in stone but the rest of my A and B team lineups are the best USA has to offer currently. HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA.... Oh, wait. Are you serious?

Too late in the quad, keep Karch through Tokyo then let's try fresh blood if it doesn't work out. I appreciate that Karch is a learner, is willing to try things and change them if it doesn't work out. Remember the libero in middle back, when he said teams don't score enough on tips to make it worth changing defensive positions, and my favorite women aren't effective out of the back row (and then Tandara and Natalia beat us almost exclusively out of the back row). What I don't like is his huge emphasis on systems rather than maximizing the skills of the athletes he has in front of him. Also everyone talks about team dynamics and winning but what about the third dynamic, how interesting we are to watch? I enjoyed watching Lang Ping and Hugh's teams much more. I think our current team is one of the least fun to watch and often route for other teams because of it (Italy and China any one). This bothers me almost as much as his failure to develop young talent. (Karch during FF: "I invited Plummer to train in 2018 but she was going on her class trip", which he either knew or should have known before he invited her that year. He needs to plan around those trips - they happen every 4 years. It doesn't explain why he didn't invite Plummer, Lanier, Fitz, Sun, and others earlier.) But, as pointed out earlier in the thread, almost any other coach that USAV would hire would also be GM2. So I wouldn't expect much change on your point even with another coach.
It's too late in this quad to fire Karch. Even many ppl who don't like him seem to agree. I hope the US does well.

This was my exact question. Who are we talking about (and this is not a good sign for the roster he is proposing)? I was thinking Taylor Nelson (Cal Poly).

Never in a million years did I think someone would list a player using her married name. Trivia:
Name the famous female volleyball players with the following married last names (I'm removing hypenated names):
(First two are easy.)
Treanor Jennings Park Richter Burbach Gunderson Coulter
No cheating.

The girl has the potential to be one of the best ever. Once again, you’re one of those people that is obsessed with quickness and speed. The Chinese don’t have that yet they kicked the absolute dog %*$# out of the US. Plummer covers a lot of ground whether you want to believe it or not.

Plummer covers a lot of ground whether you want to believe it or not. USA's maimed and crippled while Chinese have a real coach. I'm putting Plummer ahead of Lowe and Thompson right now and you still take insult. Her potential's not as high as Butler's and no one with an IQ over 120's getting fooled she's ever going to pass well internationally.

Butler is super athletic but she hasn’t played opposite a day in her life. She can’t pass a ball to save her life. She has potential to be a great middle. Why in the world would you want her as opposite? Is it just athleticism?
