Why is the greatest NCAA player not on this list? You know the first 5 time first team All American and reigning Player of the Year? What are her plans anyway? Did she sign? we don’t acknowledge super seniors here. They suck

I suspect that the Jordan and KRob weddings signaled the beginning of Family time.

Hentz>Clark I also believe Lanier deserves an invite. I would like to see USA continue to invest in Leah Edmond as well. She can be great with the right training. I know it's a tall task, but I wish Simone Lee would get another chance. Loved watching her play In college, Hentz was definitely greater than Clark but I have no idea what Morgan's training is like since she isn't playing professionally. Idk what her aspirations are. Clark is training and developing in Germany, who knows where she'll be when she comes back. But honestly it's mostly just who's going to be the B team libero/backup to Justine. Leah needs to go pro lol but I'm not sure if she wants to. Simone is doing decently in Germany I think? Maybe she'll get another chance. Pretty much... it should be Fleck..... but.... well... she's throwing that shot. I saw Leah post her shoulder is 100% now... so maybe she'll try overseas.

The extra (5th) year of eligibility doesn't help any college athlete's case for making the 2024 roster. I thought it was a bad idea for both Yossi and for Dana.
You're just losing a year of development playing against pro-level competition to stay in your comfort zone (okay, maybe also finishing your masters degree) while not developing as quickly by playing the vast majority of your repetitions against/with inferior players. And/or just getting subbed out in the back row.
You could say the same for liberos, because playing against elite velocity and angles that you'd find at the pro-levels is different than playing against most college attackers. But it's just so hard for American liberos to get worthwhile jobs overseas.

The battle for the middle spot should be interesting

Pressley was a long shot for 2024 anyways imo.... I think it will have a bigger impact on players like Samedy and Rettke.
Also Fleck staying at Texas this year... She could've done AU... moved to Europe for 23/24... and been in contention...
now? idk..

And you think their motivation was to stay in their comfort zone? For them speciically? I can't say. I would imagine for Dana it was the desire to win an NCAA championship, and WISC could see that light at the end of the tunnel if they got enough of their 5th year players to return. But for some other athletes, I'm sure there is always a piece of their decision-making that could be affected by anxiety of going overseas and into the unknown - be it the extreme change of scenery, the language barriers, distance from friends/family, etc.

What role would Samedy have on the NT though? I mean JT and Drews are both incredible and already have one olympics under their belt. JT said she wanted to stay at opposite too didnt she? I mean if it was truly best for the team, she could move back left but she is just ridiculous from the right pin.

Did she sign? she’s probably not on the list because she’s not yet on the national team. She’ll likely be at some point, but she chose to stay in college (and get that fifth AA honor) before going off to play professionally and join the national team, if offered, which she likely will. Patience is... a virtue. How quickly we forget Dana played nearly the whole 2019 VNL with the “A” team and played the Olympic qualifier that year as well. She should have been in the Olympic training camp if the Spring season didn’t overlap the 2020VNL….
