So are aloe and Courtney basically gonna be on every weeks roster ? Theyre the only 2 liberos in the gym right now. Maybe if they play bad Kelsey Robinson can save the day but I’ve also accepted the Karch is a sociopath
I feel like that's why Courtney is there. She might not be a super elite libero at this point, but she's also a known commodity and extremely unlikely to have a major meltdown on the scale that J-Wo did last year. You might start with Lake to see how she does, but with Thompson, she's at least good enough for the US to beat most teams.
Thompson ?

I heard that Thompson was the best newcomer in the first days of training. Everyone is adihusting to speed for the most part, but I was told she was most comfortable and looked really good. I just want USA to have some big players for once

Courtney can pass. IIRC her numbers have always been pretty good.

Maybe this has been discussed but if you were to ask the question, "which two collegiate players would make the vnl final roster?" How many had Thompson and Rettke as their final answer? Lake is also a collegiate player. I'd say a lot of people would have her and Rettke. Not Thompson because she isn't at a P5 school. I know Lake isn't either, but BYU is consistently ranked highly. I wouldn’t count lake in that vote. They will always have 2 liberos on the team and she’s 1 of 2 on the roster entirely. She will prob be there every week.

This is an exciting roster! S: Poulter, Hancock L: Courtney, Lake MB: Ogbogu, Washington, H. Tapp, Rettke OH: Lee, Foecke, Wilhite, Kingdon OPP: Drews, Thompson I mean, I love it, but it’s annoying that we are FINALLY investing in youth the year BEFORE the Olympics. This should’ve been a roster in 2017-18, but okay let’s go

I too hope it isn’t too little too late but I’ll take any signs of change.
CANNOT WAIT!
I wish this roster would stay through the entire preliminary round. How cool would it be if this group was just crazy dominant?!?!

So, correct me if I’m wrong:
1. USA has already qualified for the 2020 Olympics.
2. The roster can be changed week to week. So, we may see Carlini, Lowe, Larson, and the other veterans as USA gets deeper in the tournament?
3. The sole purpose is to get international competition for many of the players.
4. Winner gets $1M. Does USA Volleyball get that money?

I'd like to see: S: Poutler OH: Foecke, Lee OPP: Thompson MB: Washington, Ogbogu L: Courtney Mine is the same except sub Rettke for Washington and Lake for Courtney. Give the rookies a chance before subbing in some “vets” With this combo I feel like Lee will definitely be the service target but hopefully her passing has improved after a year of starting in Turkish League. I just have a feeling about Ogbogu and Rettke just being lethal. Still too early to call that one but I’m cautiously optimistic 😊
