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 Except Larson has almost always played OH1 for USA (since London really).

Who knows if Larson is going to start, she may be part of the team, but she is also on the decline, she is more of the Scott-Aruda roll in London. Karch isn't afraid to bench her and has for multiple matches. Franti is a good passer and Lanier isn't bad but the worst of the four, so those two might be the two to start.

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. yeah and Butler is the better blocker out of the 4 based on VNL, Washington to me is on thread that her spot for the Olympics is hers to loose Butler getting the most stuff blocks doesn’t mean she was the best blocker, there’s a reason she was left off the finals roster

Not Larson/Krob lol. Unless LC is going to be setting the middles 50% then what’s the point?

My point is, even with Larson, Kelsey at OH1 is nonsense.

for those who watched or have volley metrics, how did fleck do at pan ams? how close/far is she from hentz? right now, Hentz is pretty obviously better by eye test Fleck passed a 2.29 to Hentz's 2.36 against better competition (Fleck has a higher GP% but gets aced more). I don't know how much to trust the "dig percentage" stat but Zoe dug like 87% of the balls she touched? while Hentz was around 72%. I don't really trust that dig stat though idk of course, there is also the massive gulf in experience and sheer playtime at international level

Hmm Larson and KCook. This is the OH2 offense Karch was flirting with in last quad's Olympic qualifier. I don't blame him. Our passing and overall offense has been a mess. The whole identity of Team USA from last quad was superior serving, superior passing, fast offense. This quad our opponents are outserving us. Our passing is horrendous such that we can't run a credible offense. The team needs to regain their mojo.

I dont follow as closely as many of you so genuinely asking, have we ever seen cook, Larson, and jwo as the passing formation against top level competition? and how did it go? lots of people, including myself, are not excited about the idea but if all 3 are having 'good' passing days, I could see it possibly working
