I wouldn’t say perfect. She’s extremely undersized. I love her tho you know her vertical jump is over 40 inches...who on the team has that kind of vertical Like Samedy, she would have been well served if she really worked on her passing in college and was prepared to be a 6 rotation OH internationally. You look at all the star opposites around the world and they are 6’4”+ with hops and hammers for arms….

Yes I know - but none of the above indicates there was friction. Am I missing something? Yes, probably could have attached another post or two. Better yet, listen to the podcast. Kim Hill was very forthcoming; she did not mince words, and Karsta Lowe confirmed what was being said from her personal experience. I listened to Karsta's podcast featuring Kim in its entirety and was surprised at some of the things Kim said. But that's all behind her now. She's off to find a new way of life to enjoy! Can you post a link to the podcast?

Can you post a link to the podcast? Does anyone have key highlights of what was said, this may solve the why Hancock was taken over Carlini when some people felt Carlini was better or other decisions like whos spot Kim took because she was a better teammate.

Like Samedy, she would have been well served if she really worked on her passing in college and was prepared to be a 6 rotation OH internationally. You look at all the star opposites around the world and they are 6’4”+ with hops and hammers for arms…. Not to mention that she hasn’t played for a couple of years and missed out on some crucial development years during her prime physically. Followed Samedy after Minnesota. She played professionally in Germany, then Italy. May have been tougher for her to be a starter than during her Minnesota years. She must have been injured.

who do you think will be cut from this list? some people cancel each other, like IMO Poulter (who is not on this list) and Carlini do, so when it comes to the OH who cancels each other Krob/Larson (Larson obviously over Krob). Unless Micha jump serves, Poulter and Carlini are the choices.

Unless Micha jump serves, Poulter and Carlini are the choices. Poulter and Carlini are too much alike such as Cook and Larson, though Larson has a huge edge

Still no jumping from our girls, Italian League ace service record for Micha or not. Also, depends on Lauren’s injury recovery. Wasn’t that why she saw less playing time at VNLs?

She worked her position well and brought leadership and team cohesiveness, imo. I was just addressing the jump serve comment really. And some say Lauren and Jordyn bring similar skills to the setter position and therefore rather “cancel each other out”. Like saying Kelsey RCook and Jordan Larson are similar players. 🤷♀️. What do I know, I’m no expert, coach, trainer. Just a big fan of the game.

It was a Karch decision but I always said this it is what you bring outside of your skill and Hancock brings what Thompson brought for USA but Hancock is way better than her but we aren't there or experts hence Kim Hill's comments about why she made the team, we are never privy to what goes on and respect what is going on

The National Team is Larson’s personal MySpace page. Her Top 12 make the roster.

Kim Hill did a podcast with Karsta... oomph.. lol "I made the Olympic roster because im a good teammate, not because im a good player"... #justiceforSWP open.spotify.com/episode/1ioQkeQFj5NHDThhR0GijT?si=VSm0FsBNRAutlQyqSM1nRwIt's a really good podcast.. Shes talks about a lot... the highs and lows of the NT (but without the tea)... leaving volleyball, why coaching isnt for her... what she wants to do moving forward She's moving into interior design. https://www.instagram.com/p/Cuu1Qn-y-yl I've been a lurker but it's my first time posting so I hope this instagram link embeds right! But her being at the Olympics for being a good teammate makes sense of this new position she as in a club team "Clubs Culture Cultivator" (if the embed doesn't work, here the link http://instagram.com/p/Cuu1Qn-y-yl
