Really, I think we should back to topic. Yes I agree, but this hardly the first time the thread has gone off on a tangent. The fact is, hotel accomodation issue is a poor excuse for limiting the roster to 12.

Does anyone know which player is the answer to that trivia question?

Also, if you read to the bottom of the story, the answer is given.

Ah, so it is. I didn’t read all the way through. Thanks to both of you though!

I personally am not a huge fan of Larson, at least in the front row. She isn’t a terminal OH in my opinion. I think if larch is looking for liberos as much as he is... Larson would be a good try. But I also do. Or like Courtney or robin on as liberos. Defensively they are not up to par with other liberos. Saucer could make a good bet on cracking the roster because KK is looking for serve receive which she is phenomenal at. I agree about Larson but I wouldn't move her completely, I'm just not sure why she is OH1. Surely Hill or Bartsch are more terminal? Larson imo is much better suited for the OH2 role. OH1 = more terminal, OH2 = better passer is a pretty simple/out-dated way to look at those two positions.

Man....seeing Wolosz connect beautifully with Hill and Lowe really illuminates how badly the USNT needs a different setter/system.
Also Hancock's connection with Adams today was a joy to behold. Hopefully that can translate to their play this summer.

Isn't there also the Pan-Am Cup? So if we go to Montreaux then that means the entirety of the USWNT gym will see plenty of court time in as many as 7 International Tournaments. Karch had better manage those rosters so as not to burn out the vets. We should see lots of new blood in some of the less high profile tournaments.

You need to look up a dictionary for that?

You need to look up a dictionary for that? Misread your post. The OH1-OH2 decision can be influenced by passing formations, blocking pairs, serving rotations (Larson usually serves first for USA and Eczacibasi so you have 3 front row attackers right away), who hits out of the backrow better, etc. Not just "who is more terminal." Pretty poor effort of a troll by you, btw. I expect more.

I personally think she does a good job She did a pretty good job in VNL 2018, but her setting had been offline during the World Championship. That's why there are lots of discussion on settings here. The USA offence system relies a lot on the setter.
