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. they'd have to change the USA system to accommodate Plummer on the left. She's not fast or athletic enough. She will have to improve in both aspects or be trained in that if she wants to remain on the USA team roster. But I am confident she will get the hang of it. Someone with as much potential as Plummer should be able to master these skills if she put in the effort. So I think she will obtain these skills in due time.

Taylor Hall still has big potential as does Lanier IMO Do you mean Thayer? I forgot about Lanier tbh lol I'd like to see Ruddins get into the USA gym, she's doing well in Germany Ruddins has experience with a fast temp offense already too

Not saying plummer is not good. Bit she needs to improve almost everything. Specially speed and how to jump and maximize her height. Gurl 6'6?! She better decide if she wants to play left or right because lot of youngsters coming in and can challenge her. JT and Cuttino are playing well. So, it's up to her.

Any replay link for Denso match?
Cuttino is good in in-system play but horrible when it comes to backrow attack or out of system. She fits well the USA’s current playing style if after Tokyo it will still be implemented.

I think Plummer is similar to a Stysiak. A big bruiser but slower in foot speed, slower in arm swing. Not with the athleticism of a Bosko, Egonu, Haak, Vargas, Karakurt. Being a USC fan, I like Lanier a lot but she was a bad passer in college. But who knows? Ruddins deserves a look. Doesn't come from a star-studded collegiate team but can absolutely shine at the next level when surrounded by stronger supporting cast.

It’s insane the amount of people in here that continually underestimate Plummer. Is there a player from the NCAA as decorated as her? Lord. She has potential to be as good as anyone named. They’re are all types of players and she’s special.

Mmm I think we'll see Plummer get set at a tempo she is completely incapable of hitting. Therefore she will be ineffective. And it will be frustrating for all parties involved.

No that’s the exact point... she’s NOT athletic... woman has power and can play but I don’t know if she’s athletic, her movement is horrid

With all this chatter, is there a boxscore of Plummer's last game? She seemed to be putting the ball down when I tuned in briefly.
