I think Karch is too risk-averse to consider Hentz at this point. But who knows, we'll have to wait how she will perform in the German league. If she digs like Larson but receives like Wilhite, then Karch will definitely place her in the bottom of the NT libero pool.

I don't get why Karch keeps calling Wilhite to train in the gym, she was even in the WCH 2018 roster. She's the new Courtney Thompson... I won't be surprised to see her in Tokyo

I won't be surprised to see her in Tokyo Should have taken Drews over Wilhite Lloyd was the reason the entire right pin was putrid that entire season. Drews wouldn't have made much of a difference.

I can't disagree. Drews is definitely a confidence player. If she starts off poorly she is less likely to dig herself out of a hole. Lowe came in for her rather quickly when she struggled at the 2019 World Cup. What's crazy is that after the team lost to China, Drews was so good offensively. Her numbers vs. Dominican Republic, Russia and Korea allowed her to steal the best OPP award from Goncharova, who outperformed her during the first round of matches at site A.

Yeah that China match was a mess from a coaching standpoint. Drews was given such a short leash while Poulter and Courtney stayed on for much longer. Had she been given more playing time then, as shown from the impact that she gave at the third set when Lowe was yanked, I think USA could have done better with that Larson-Bartsch-Drews-Carlini-Washington-Dixon-Wong lineup. Drews was divine in that DR match

If Carlini is setting her. She shines. I think you have some valid points about Poulter and definitely Courtney. But to be fair up until that match vs. China they both had played much better whereas Drews struggled. I still wonder if Poulter has truly taken over the starting setter spot or if that entire tournament was simply to test her ability at a major competition. Sadly...the outcome can't be given too much merit as China was the only Olympic level line-up that USA faced.

Olympic level lineup? Weren’t Russia, DR, Kenya, Korea’s lineups the same lineups they were supposedly sending for Tokyo? I think you mean top-tier team.

Like I pointed out for the libero stats that were discussed earlier, all that should matter is who gives us the best chance to win against the starters for the Top 5 teams in the world. Stats and performance against everybody else are largely irrelevant.

It will be hard to choose from the 4-5 great liberos that are developed in the 6 week pro league.

Nonsense. There will never, ever be a pro league in the U.S. At the mere suggestion, the Chinese and George Soros conspired to unleash the Wuhan virus to derail the project! Nuclear war would surely erupt before it became a reality.
(See, we can both do this?)
