Denso won in 3. A much better showing from KP at the left today. She was passing decently. Aced a couple of times, but her performance can be built upon especially if they plan on distributing the offensive load to everyone. Might as well get the passing reps in. I'm excited for what the future holds with a Plummer-Thompson OH line. Usa could be a modern day Russia with big pins like that.

OH: Plummer (6'6"), Thompson (6'4") OPP: Cuttino (6'4") MB: Rettke (6'8"), Butler (6'4") SET: Poulter (6'2") LIB: Hentz (5'9") For a Russia-esque lineup.

I'm still not sure we'll see Plummer on the left.
Post Larson, it's Krobs or Courtney's spot. And then after that players coming up like May (if she chooses indoors), Eggleston, or even maybe Kayla Lund will challenge for that.

Need a really fast setter for the inevitable shanks.

You can't teach height though. Maybe I'm just daydreaming a bit but a player like Plummer should be able to grasp the nuances needed for a world-class OH. I'm just hoping that's the path that's meant for her. OH's 6'4+? yes pls.

No where near the level of JT. Or even Drews for that matter.

No where near the level of JT. Or even Drews for that matter. The way I see it, moving forward, USA should make it a point to answer the "How can we stop the Boskovic or Egonu types of players?". The best way to do that is to have OH's that can blank them.

JT isn't the answer for that then cause she's a terrible blocker and Plummer can't jump lol I honestly think the USA fast is a good plan to overcome Bosko and Egonu. You're not going to outswing them. That's where JT and Drews fit in. Their swings are so fast. But it's super reliant on good passing and setting.... which can be really inconsistent for them

They just need that extra push, if that's what they want to achieve in life. Lol. For Tokyo, though. It's important to have OH's who can get past these two's blocks. I think Hill and MBH can. And they should, especially since Boskovic has been in GOD mode this season so far.
