It's never too early to start planning for the Paris Olympics. This is the match schedule for the men's and women's competition. Times are local. According to the NBC schedule prelim matches will start around 3 am ET:  I have tickets to 3 women’s and 3 mens including one QF for both but obviously won’t know who plays for quite some time. I hope the trade portal is easy to use! Did anyone get semi or medal match tickets?? I got both women’s semis. Possibly a medal match as well. Let’s party. |

How does Logan Eggleston project in the team USA future? How did she do in Turkey this year? What are her weaknesses at this level? She was so dominant in college, so I always hoped she would do well at the next level. I know it's early, but who has the better future between her and Madi Skinner? Passing will be key right?

Feel like if Madi can up her passing next year she could potentially stay on the left but otherwise I definitely see her as an opposite professionally |

Any idea what either can touch? All tournament long all I heard over and over was how high the 6’9 girl touched. I have to believe these 2 touch higher. Their vertical is definitely at least a foot higher. |

Their vertical is definitely at least a foot higher. Madi Skinner is 6'2", that means her standing reach is probably around 7'11"-8 feet (and that's assuming decently long arms). Anna Smrek, as often reported, touches 11'2". By "at least a foot higher", you're suggesting Madi Skinner's reach to be in the 12 feet, that would mean that Madi Skinner's vertical is 48 in.+. That would make her vertical the same level as the best verticals the NBA have ever seen (Michael Jordan's vertical was 48") lol, so no. |

So who WON'T be going to Paris? Vargas I did a quick google search... Nothing I saw advised that she would be ineligible to play for Turkiye but I did not do a deep dive... That would make a huge difference.. With her... Gold Medal Contender... Without her... Bronze Medal Contender.... |

Madi having a foot higher vertical, at least, is what I am saying not that she touches a foot higher. I would bet her approach vertical is close to 38 inches. |

I think it’s super dumb that she’s even able to play for them lol so I won’t be feeling any sympathy for the Turkish NT if they have to play without a player they didn’t do anything to develop and essentially just bought. I’d feel for her and wish her a full recovery though |
