Food for thought to consider including Gabby Curry in future discussions of national team liberos:
As a sophomore, Curry invited by K Kiraly to attend 2019 summer training in Anaheim with JWO and Kendall White. Curry selected June 11, 2019 by K. Kiraly to the National Team for the Canada Exhibit, along with JWO Curry selected June 24, 2019 by K. Kiraly to the National Team for the Pan Am Cup, along with JWO Curry selected July 1, 2019 by K. Kiraly to the National Team for the Pan Am Games Notified Nov/Dec 2019 by K. Kiraly of inclusion on the "long list"
Personally, after Hentz was invited to the 2020 spring training block, I was very much looking forward to perhaps seeing JWO, Curry, & Hentz fighting it out in the summer to see if one of them might make it impossible for Karch NOT to take a "pure libero" to Tokyo

I swear we're really better off with JWO than Courtney at libero.

I would love to see Hentz transition smoothly to international ball and take the Libero position for USA. But the last time there was a college lib that was of that caliber defensively (Natalie Hagglund), they did not transition well to the international game. What do y'all see differently about Hentz that might make her more successful?

I would argue Mary Lake is around hentz caliber of a defender and lake was the better passer and she didn’t transition super well into USA (though I feel like she could have been our best option with more practice and reps)

Sure, that's not the Olympics, but she's one of 3(?) athletes of any position to have done that this decade maybe?

Some Pan-Am Games/Cup participation, but I don't remember anything higher than that.
