It’s definitely more of a concern this summer. With Tapp injured, so don’t really have a strong M2 backup for Chi. Washington/Rettke/Hall are a good trio of M1s, but there’s a pretty big drop off after them. In the long run, I think there are a lot of great prospects coming up in the NCAAs (O’Neal, Robinson, Gray, Tillman, Booth, Colvin, etc.) and some who’ve just began their pro careers (Hord, Butler, Hart, etc.). There are definitely more glaring concerns at Setter and Opposite. Stevenson will be the M2 backup. She played that last summer (and was hitting a lot more quicks in club) I think Tillman is done  Sad to hear about Tillman. She’s put in work at Louisville these last few years 😞 |

She’s put in work at Louisville these last few years 😞 Yea :/ It's an bad year for her to go pro (if she has non-volleyball ambitions, which it seems she does). It's too soon before Paris and LA is five years away.. |

Man. With Larson back it makes the race for OH even more tight. Larson, KCook, SWP, Kingdon, Bajema, Plummer, Frantti, Skinner, Lanier. Who else gets an invite to train? Am I missing anyone? If by tight, you mean possibly giving me heartburn then I agree. It gives me gas |

Is anyone else concerned about middle? The depth is usually a hallmark of Usa rosters but all of a sudden we don’t look as strong as usual… chi is the only lock It’s definitely more of a concern this summer.

Serbias 1-2 are better than Carlini and Hancock.  I would say Brazil but Macris sucks so |

And Hancock is fine but like that's the word, fine. They can get it done and plenty of teams have setters that can't get it done so yea we're still in a good spot and Carlini can be great and brings a spark at times that we need. Maja is also erratic at this point in her career. Drca idk anything about her day to day pro game but she was consistent in her showing with the NT this year. I'd have to do a deeper dive maybe but I don't think it's just madden being a homer here. |

My mentioning setter was in terms of the overall depth chart. Poulter/Carlini/Hancock are a great trio of setters, but there’s a huge drop off after Hancock. |

I feel for Washington. She was giving top 10 (maybe even top 5) MB in the world vibes in 2021/early 2022 and she hasn't really looked the same since. And it's not even like she's that old either. She definitely seems like she needs a break
