Rewatching old matches from last year WCs… Frantti is a pretty good blocker. I personally felt like she was our best blocking outside.. she always seemed to come up with a big block in good moments

woah woah woah I’m still on the frantti train!! we got a few! Frantti is on the Midnight Train to Georgia now. There's still a few seats available. Before the train leaves! I just wanna say that I also think Frantti has secured/deserves the 3rd OH spot (assuming Larson/Cook are locked in)!!

I didn't realize Asjia O'Neal committed to a 6th year at Texas... Wouldn't it be better for her training to play internationally to lock in the fourth middle blocker spot. I think she has a good chance!

They should at least give the Olympics experience to a young budding OH.

I think she has a good chance! She'd only miss like 2-3 months of pro play if she went to back to texas (so that's not a big deal) She would miss IOQT... which may or may not be a big deal.

That doesn't mean that always happens.

There have been plenty of players to play IOQT or previous version of olympic qualification to not go on to the olympics..

There have been plenty of players to play IOQT or previous version of olympic qualification to not go on to the olympics.. I know. But you only get three middles… two of them (let’s be honest) are locked. Missing a big event (and only getting tested via VNL) isn’t going to help that

But there’s no reason she can’t try for Paris as well (even if it is unlikely)

But there’s no reason she can’t try for Paris as well (even if it is unlikely) I think she's doing what she wants in order to showcase herself to KK. But her priorities are to lead UT back to another Natty and if she's ok with that then we all need to be as well. Who knows? Maybe KK still takes her knowing she's so raw and still so good.
