Does anyone recall 2012, when Bown was left off? Wasn’t she starting at the big events (2010 world champs, 2011 World Cup, 2012 Grand Prix) and then left off the London roster - im assuming Foluke will be in Tokyo and selected her among the twelve, but would it be that crazy to see her left off, or maybe not starting? I’m still pissed about that! I can't remember now, but why did she transferred from Santa Barbara to Hawaii? Not that it hurt her college career in anyway with that move, my memory is hazy, but she was the...WAC player of the year?

Who should NOT make it to Tokyo I wonder... Megan Courtney Yeah, I think Karch's experiment of Courtney as a libero ain't panning out as well as he hoped.

I'm just gonna leave this right here......
Plummer's only major chance to make the Olympic roster is for Robinson to play as Libero.
This way Karch can take the three OH's (Larson, Hill, MBH), Drews or Lowe and BOTH Thompson and Plummer who can play both OH and OPP.
That's a TON of players with lots of versatility.
For the record I really hope at the last minute a decent libero option arises so Robinson can play OH...but she is the best option if no one else rises to the occasion.

A roster I could fall in love with:
S: Carlini, Poutler OH: Larson, MBH, Hill Opp: Thompson, Drews, Plummer MB: Ogbogu, Akinradewo, Rettke L: Robinson
I don't think this will be it....but I wouldn't be mad about it. Even if the team didn't medal.

I think that last spot will be a bloodbath between Dixon, Adams and Washington. Hell even Foluke admitted on her Cuore Project interview that she was looking forward to having to fight hard for her starting spot. She too will be working hard to get on that roster. I do feel like Chiaka is breaking away from the pack. Watching her in action with Conegliano, limited as it might be, she is improving a lot! She is that shut down blocker the team needs and her height on offense is ridiculous.

Would it be a fair statement to say that compared to the past two quads.....this quad has been a rebuilding one? I mean....the only players I am comfortable calling "locks" are Larson, Robinson, Bartsch-Hackley and Ogbogu.
I feel like leading up to Rio and London we knew basically who was going to be on the team. No?

I think you're probably right that Plummer's only chance is if she lights up the world and Robinson moves to libero lol. Would love to see it happen, but I don't think it will as there just doesn't seem to be enough time left. Who knows, maybe KP proves me wrong and just pops off and steals a spot from Lowe/Drews/Thompson, but they all seem an unreachable distance ahead of her in this race. I also don't believe that Thompson and Plummer will be proven enough passers to make versatility on the left side a benefit
