All 3 of our OHs hit over .350 yesterday. It's a good problem to have, when there's an argument for starting all 3. Larson (and to a lesser extent KRob) are better OOS setters than Hill. Since Courtney is struggling with her sets, maybe that's why Jordan and Kelsey are on the floor. How many balls is Courtney setting on average per set, that reasoning seems like a reach. I'm not claiming that is THE reason, but everyone harping on "where's Hill" when Larson and KRob played well yesterday too. Slash, this entire thread is lit with "COURTNEY SUCKS AT BUMP SETS." Sunderland said that Karch wants to work on OOS hitting percentage (but the commentators also called JT a "honey badger" so who knows). Larson being on the floor makes sense for that, since she's probably the best OH setter in the world.

Either the level of play is drastically higher than I anticipated from this pool.....or we really are playing like garbage. Which is it? I can’t tell at the moment. Argentina is 11th ranked. They're not bad. They're ranked 11th because they get auto qualified to a lot of tournaments based on continental quotas. They're not very good.

They got swept by both Canada and the Czech Republic when in the Challenger Cup. A win there gets you into next year's VNL so I imagine that's a big time tournament for those tier 2 teams.

I sorta cheer when KR has a hitting error because I REALLY want her to be our libero.
But seriously, why not give Lake a chance? In my National Team libero thread, it said Karch puts a premium on passing over defense. Courtney hasn’t shown she can pass. At all.

So Courtney and Jordan Burgess were the two top outsides in their respective class. Burgess was always the better ball handler of the two where as Courtney was the better attacker. What happened to Jordan? I always thought she'd make a great libero.
