Question, who is more valuable at this point in their careers, Jordan Larson, or Logan Tom immediately following the 2012 Olympics when she was cut? I didn't follow the international scene very much at that time, so I have no idea how much that adds in to their respective pedigrees, but I find it interesting that Tom was dumped after her years of service while Larson is still in the gym. Is Larson just more valuable at this point, or do you believe it was strictly attitude/camaraderie based on Tom's part? Skillwise: Tom still had a lot more to often than Larson. Specially since the NT at that time had no depth. We have so much depth this year. Tom was not kumbaya enough. She’s still a legend though!

Tom's club season contributions post-London were as a stabilizing presence, but I noticed she really struggled to terminate. Larson has had pretty substantial moments with Milano as a fairly complete player still. Tom and Hooker were robbed!

Lmao Justine played Turkey and Serbia, who had their A team and A-/B+ team respectively on their rosters week 1. They definitely would’ve considered those being two of the toughest matchups when planning. She was not “left off” this week as if someone beat her out. She’s simply not being forced to go every week I think Hentz deserves a shot. Since our passing will be sus, there will be more defensive plays that Hentz will get to.

go ahead and delete your account babes i’m just not a fan of her play…she was just not great last summer - give me zoe fleck!!! Question: Lots of criticism of our lack of tip coverage on this board while JWO was on the floor. But Hentz threw her body across the court to pick up some ridiculous balls when she was playing in week 1. Really inspiring. Is Fleck more along the Hentz model of covering half a court in 2 seconds, or is she more in the model of JWO solid passing? (Also, is Fleck in the NT gym?? I hope so...)

I think Fleck can be classified as more of a defensive libero vs. serve receive. not to say that her SR is poor or lacking - but her floor coverage is money. She’s in the NT gym, but not on the senior roster - i think she’s on the same boat as Kipp

there's just some plays that Hentz makes that jwo has NEVER made. 🫣 This is true and fair. I have never seen JWO shank a serve into the concessions stand.

I don’t even like either but come on now. Jwo >> She's older and more experienced but let's be honest there's just some plays that Hentz makes that jwo has NEVER made. 🫣 Shes just too good to be behind her forever. you’re right I’ve never seen JWO pass a freeball the way Hentz did during week 1 🤠

Hentz is about to eat every team up this week and y'all will still say she's not disciplined enough to excel at this level. Calling it now As she should, she's the standard in the US for a reason. 💅 Karch is cheap af. If Hentz is the standard, it's because she's the libero and floor wiper at the same time.

Y’all are just arguing to argue rn
Hentz is not going to take JWO’s spot unless JWO is incapable of playing.
An injured JWO still played at the world championships last fall.
