I’m not sure Tapp is a legitimate contender. She’s on rosters now because we get 14 spots (compared to 12 at the Olympics) and both Rettke and Akinradewo are unavailable. Her making it would be a big surprise to me. Indeed it would surprise me too. However Akinradewo might not make that return and Rettke is still in college and like Washington moves pretty slowly to the pins. Tapp moves pretty quick and, even though she has seen limited time on court, she has been effective and had a pretty decent summer. She will also see lots of playing time in Japan where she will only get better as a blocker. I wouldn't count her out especially since Adams isn't playing over seas this season due to a knee injury. I wouldn't be surprised if Tapp were able to leap over Rettke in the pecking order. Be surprised if she were able to leap far enough to be in play for Tokyo. At present, I would assume she's no higher than 5th. Possibly 6th, if Foluke is included and we still assume she's behind Rettke. toddyj, we have identical Olympic team projections. I would probably lean more toward JWO at this point than either Courtney or Lake. We shall see what the next year brings. I know Washington has always been the starter with Ogbogu during these events. I have been underwhelmed with her last half of the international season. Not sure what's going on there. Dixon is steady.

I believe that our outsides are all pretty locked in, Larson, Bartsch, Robinson and Hill (Hill may be the first to get replaced thou). Annie Drews is locked. Setters are locked unless Hancock goes wild with Novara and Carlini or Poulter have off-seasons. I want to say Chiaka is pretty locked but that random absence still has me on edge. Dixon and Washington are both up there, I agree Washington hasn't been as dominant in her second half of international season. Foluke is a wild card Second OPP spot and libero remain the biggest question marks.

Please tapp. I love her energy and she is a great blocker. Even if she doesn’t get the stuff she gets touches on a TON of balls and she can be very productive when set

My updated roster: S: Carlini, Poulter OH: Robinson, MBH, Larson, Hill MB: Ogbogu, Akinradewo, Dixon Opp: Thompson, Drews L: Lake/JWO (who ever develops more over the next year) Mine as well, and I think I would go with JWO over Lake. I had originally picked Lloyd over Poulter, Washington over Dixon, Lowe over Thompson and COurtney at Libero.

For those of you who are jumping on the JWO train, here are the passing numbers from the World Cup (according to the USA Volleyball DataVolley reports):
Robinson -- 170 att, 4% Err, 57% Pos, 40% Exc Bartsch -- 145 att, 4% Err, 50% Pos, 31% Exc Courtney -- 137 att, 2% Err, 57% Pos, 37% Exc Larson -- 122 att, 5% Err, 53% Pos, 36% Exc JWO -- 84 att, 5% Err, 55% Pos, 31% Exc Hill -- 47 att, 4% Err, 47% Pos, 21% Exc
Courtney had the lowest error percentage, tied for the highest positive percentage, and the second highest excellent percentage behind Robinson. All three numbers were better than JWO.

All three numbers were better than JWO. That's just passing. Courtney's defense is not that great and she reads tips terribly. We need an actual libero not a converted OH. And before anyone argues Robinson for libero...that ship has sailed. She is our #1 OH right now. She won't be moving back to libero. End of topic.

And, I may have been one of the more outspoken Robinsion to libero advocates. I am not making that claim anymore. Now, Larson.... Just kidding. Mostly

Why? you get at least as many SR attempts as you do dig attempts(especially if you are a serving target for the other team?)

With this whole JWO vs. Courtney thing...I think one thing's for sure and that Courtney IS really out of the tokyo race. Team transitioned better when JWO played libero. Even played better vs. China with her in. In that 3-0 win vs ChinaA in VNL, Lake was LIB. She's a far better fit than Courtney who just can't defend.
My IDEAL Final 12 for Tokyo2020
OH: Robinson, Bartsch-Hackley, Hill, Larson OPP: Drews, Thompson S: Carlini, Poulter MB: Ogbogu, Akinradewo, Adams L: JWO
Lake can snatch LIB. Lowe can snatch OPP2, Hancock can snatch SET2, Dixon can snatch MB3. If Foluke pulls a Tandara, Washington can get a slot after Dixon. Hill can get cut too especially with how she's so lackluster recently.
Lock-ins (barring any major injuries) are: Senior citizen Larson, Krob, Bartsch, Drews, Ogbogu

I'm also on board with a possible Larson for LIB. She just isn't at her prime with offense anymore. defense? workable.

Select your 12-person team. Can the poll be edited? Lloyd and Gibbemeyer are gone and we should have JWO and H. Tapp on there. Unfortunately, cannot find a way to edit the poll unless someone else has an idea how to do it.

Love that JWO isn’t even on this list to choose.
