2020 USWNT VNL Setter Roster Predictions!

[ToddyJ]

The Olympic year is here!! Let's start things off by discussing the 2020 VNL Roster by positions! 

For the purpose of clarity please note the following:

1. The following setters are listed on the USWNT roster homepage and thus MUST be considered in the above poll: Carlini, Poutler, Hancock and Seliger-Swenson.

2. The remaining names listed are some of the top players currently playing professionally over seas, have already played some with the national team, or are the top talent in the NCAA that are at least juniors or seniors during this current year: Raskie, Bugg, Gray, Hilley and Lilley.

Please....if you feel the need to select another player not listed please do so accompanied by an explanation. I would ask that for clarity's sake that you all refrain from tossing in players just because they play for your favorite school or just because you "like" them. That doesn't serve the purpose of this thread at all. 

Please vote for THREE to FOUR players and post why you choose who you did. 

Thanks friends!

QUICK UPDATE!

Please vote based on which players you would choose for the roster! I really need to edit the poll question but that requires deleting the poll and retyping all of those names.....which I don't wanna do.

Also please cast ALL of your allotted votes!

This was the only poll question I actually submitted correctly. I blame the lateness of the hour for my lack of focus. 

....oh well.

I will be SHOCKED if Karch doesn't name all three of Carlini, Poulter and Hancock to the VNL roster. He might name a 4th like last year at the expense of an OH/MB. That being said I would like to see SSS get to set some of the top hitters the program has.

Not that it matters much for the topic of these threads. But as you mention the Montreux Volley Masters. Local swiss media reported last week that the 2020 edition of the Montreux Volley Masters has been cancelled anyway.

I would have been pleasantly shocked if we even participated in the tournament.

I know Gray will likely pursue Javelin and not Volleyball but for the sake/fun of this thread...let's say she chooses volleyball.

Remember back when this position was everyone's biggest concern? Amazing the difference a year makes.

Gray's location is a little suspect. She's bailed out A LOT.
