It's a prank lol. They might release it a day before their flight. So fans won't have a choice but to agree with the roster.

What Karsta can do, Annie already does and does better. Bringing her for Tokyo is meh.
I’m all for JT/Plummer/SWP getting the important reps leading up to Tokyo to determine the 2nd OPP.
Lowe would be a useless piece in that very slim 12-player roster.

Not sure if this means much, but Plummer is listed as an Opposite/Outside Hitter, whereas SWP is listed as an OH exclusively and JT as an Opp exclusively on the USAV website. I'm just bored and waiting for a roster lol

That’s like the only thing similar about their game Aren’t all volleyball skillsets the same? Spike, block, serve, defense, set? Annie has surpassed her significantly in all skillsets. Nothing about them being left-handed. Lowe will also probably retire after Tokyo, so what other value will she bring? Just doesn’t make sense bringing her overall. |

Experience is meh. Larson, Akinradewo, Hill and Robo are there. She isn’t even a vocal piece on court.

I feel like they aren't gonna release a roster ever, and we'll just see who is there based on Instagram stories and who actually shows up on the court. Very annoying. I think Plummer and JT should be there. Karsta looked good at AU, but there was really not competition for her. Her defense didn't look good, which is worrying because international competition is substantially better than the people at AU. JT's injury is really sucky. I thought she looked terrific in 2019, so hopefully she can rest up. I haven't seen SWP enough to form any real opinions.
I will be very interested to see how Courtney/JWO compare. I did not understand why Courtney played so much of the VNL. I don't have stats, but to my (extremely amateur) eye, JWO is better and should have played more. Will be interesting to see how things look now.

She's still going to Tokyo but I don't expect that level of point producing Larson we saw a few months ago due to a major drop in level. Same will be for Lowe. |

Just doesn’t make sense bringing her overall. No, blocking in the middle vs in the pins is way different, and middles don't need to receive or set for one thing, and setters don't need to spike. You get the idea. |
