What's the argument of Larson over a SWP? If we're talking technical skills of typically tentative hitters (say that 5 times fast idk) with strong ball control, isn't SWP probably stronger? I know Larson's value is the leadership package but like, how'd that go for team USA last year SWP has never shown anything close to Larson’s passing for USAV. that i agree with. Swp is a solid passer but not Larson’s level |

Frantti had 14 points in a sweep against the fourth best team in Turkey today hitting .500. I feel like it’s getting more likely that she solidified the final spot over Skinner. if they’re playing at any sort of a similar level, Frantti will get taken because of her experience so Skinner is gonna need to go AWF in the VNL Frantti had a really poor season. Like she was awful a lot against good teams oh trust me I know, she was awful and I called it out but she’s finished well, fits USA’s system, and has kumbaya experience |

Doesn't matter is a player is playing poor or a successful season. USA has different set of players and system. Even larson and polter aren't playing for months lol 😆 how will you explain they are better compare to other players right now? 🤔

If karch decides to take the best players, she has a great chance. I have very little faith he will choose the roster based off of skill alone great chance is generous. Washington and Rettke are still in front of her. Brionne might be as well Yea im assuming rettke and chiaka are locks, but I thought she was better than Washington and butler last summer? Or was I brainwashed by vt |

Kumbaya has given way to idolatry and devil worship. I know Frantti hasn’t been as consistent this season. But I do feel she’s better with USAV. Rarely if ever has she been yanked from a match with USA . She usually goes in to rescue. She plays good defense and has a decent serve, and IMO is one of our best OOS hitters. She’s crushing balls off the net at about 10 feet in the air over blockers. I think if anything we take her for extra offense if anyone is flat. |

Do you think a stronger surrounding cast could help? Having an inconsistent JT and cansu might play a part what do you think? |

Having an inconsistent JT and cansu might play a part what do you think? I think USA's biggest problem is the lack of better performing attackers. There are a lot of streaky, up and down performances, but simply no consistent reliable outlet. We can look at setting, at differing systems, teammates, etc. but in the end, we're looking at Larson on the decline, attacking inconsistency with KRob and JT, real question marks with Frantti, Plummer and any other OH options. Our middles have the ability to produce consistently, but there's also a lot of inconsistency about getting the ball to them. |

Having an inconsistent JT and cansu might play a part what do you think? in the matches where Frantti has been bad, usually shes just been bad all around. Shanking passes, bad attacking, insufficient defense. (Im talking about this season at Vakıf) |
