honestly, this. but do we really risk overplaying JWO? can anyone (not KRob) play libero for a whole game against lets say Kazakhstan? What value would bringing 5 OHs bring vs risking it not having a libero if JWO gets injured? It does not make any sense imo It would be crazy not to bring a second libero IMO. Especially since we suffered 2 injuries to starters (Thompson & Poulter) during the Olympics.

I have a "feeling" JWO is going to be the only libero Karch takes to the WCH and he takes all 5 of the Outsides, suiting the 5th up as the 2nd libero on a rotational/as needed basis. I love Hentz but I think that if she is only going to play in 1 or 2 matches then why bring her at all? All three of Plummer/Bajema/Frantti bring something unique to the table and they all might need to be on the roster. SWP and Krob are definitely going to be there. Probably not a popular opinion but Frantti's performance in this tournament cannot be ignored. All three of them need to work on their back court defense but all three are really good blockers and attackers. I'm loving the competition at that position we are seeing right now. I kinda feel for Kingdon a bit but her ceiling isn't as high as these new youngins. honestly, this. but do we really risk overplaying JWO? can anyone (not KRob) play libero for a whole game against lets say Kazakhstan? usa could beat Kazakhstan without a libero

Who do we think Karch is taking for MBs? And how are all of them ranking against each other with stats and general play? Washington and Tapp are standouts IMO but after that…?

Ogbogu, Washington, Tapp are the clear 3 (the olympians/Olympic alternates) Guessing that Karch is choosing between Stevenson, Rettke… and Dixon for the 4th.

Rettke should be more than ready in 2 years. 4th tbd

She is not an elite blocker at this level. Periodt. Before you get all crazy defensive on me, neither is Dana. Stevenson has SO much more upside than Tapp...not even close. Dana will improve and I'm glad to see she's touching more balls but this Tapp praise is crazy. Her attacking is...fine. But she wasn't all you make her out to be yesterday. Check your "eye test."

Tapp was the best usa blocker yesterday lol. Sure that bar is low but I mean Tapp was far better than Washington

Bajema and Washington were by far the worst blockers yesterday
then Poulter, and I would rate Tapp and Annie equally since one is an MB
