Thompson isn’t super fast anymore. you don't need to be super fast to be in a fast system. and JT was explosive and fast like 2 months ago, so "isn't super fast anymore" may be rushing to conclusions. No, she wasn’t Pay attention.

basil told me first but on Larson's IG story training team Carlini-JT, Larson-KRob, Chiaka-Washington, JWO other team Hancock-Annie, Frantti-Khalia, Dana-Brionne, Hentz maybe that's why there was so much OH1 Kelsey, i guess karch really wants to make larson/krob work of course he always prioritize veterans. I feel like frantti-lanier tandem is more balance and both can be super effective.

I'm shocked about the investment in Cook still Karch gets Tourretes sometimes. She isn't bad but is the tip queen on good sets and is not terminal, for me its like what set can you give her to rip into the ball and she chokes when it matters. Leave Larson in (though I think it's time to develop the future). You can't really go by the instagram post either since Drews has been playing better than JT and Washington isn't a starting middle out of the others

I can’t sit here and knock Karch for trying it. our passing in the KO rounds was terrible. like seriously horrendous. every ball just had to go right back to the outside where four hands were waiting. sure, if an outside or two were on it was okay, but that’s not sustainable in the slightest

She seemed to be out of sorts all summer, and hasn’t displayed much of either. Stamina and speed are not mutually exclusive. Yes it was an incredible display of stamina with her like 300 swings (im just guessing) or whatever the number was. but she was working really hard most of the time to be fast (as one must be in order to take that many transition swings successfully). You're obviously right as everyone has noticed that she isn't fixing sets (which the way to contorted her body or got her arm behind something to find the court was amazing) and showing the same effort compared to her latter half of the club season. but that doesn't mean her most recent display this summer shows her inability to be fast anymore. She could easily turn things around and really be that girl. But at the same time maybe not. So like i said, i think it's reasonable to not want to rush to conclusions regarding what JT is going to provide.

You can't really go by the instagram post either since Drews has been playing better than JT and Washington isn't a starting middle out of the others there is a twist. Hancock-Annie team is actually the starters. Lol i think that's almost the same players who almost won against turkey in semi finals except for hentz and butler.

Can hardly come as a surprise after we had disappointing results in everything since Tokyo that he would at least try out the closest thing to what won gold.

I’m more interested in what she’s been doing the last month or so, mainly because it is more relevant to what she might do next month. That’s a pretty safe course to take imo.
