I am sorry I have not been keeping up with the national team. My I ask why Logan Eggeleston doesn't seem to be a consideration for outside? She hasn’t stood out in her Turkish league play, never made an A team roster last summer, Still struggles passing as an OH and is way down the terminator list as a RS. She’s playing OH in Turkey this season. Playing pretty well from what I’ve seen (passing numbers are way up recently) but she wasn’t super terminal during the Pan Am Games last year with the B team. |

If Karch is committed to KP for Paris, I think he needs to adapt the serve receive strategy when she's in. Kelsey/Larson and JWO need to pinch in and take most the passes. If KP is allowed to shank two balls in a row that would be a failure in the system. KP could also be DS'd for one trip thru the backrow. Maybe DS the OPP for one rotation thru the backrow so KP doesn't have to pass. All this seems a bit extreme for someone as conservative as Karch, but at this point I think he needs to roll the dice. Best case scenario in our current form, US gets bronze at the Olympics. But more likely US will lose in the Quarterfinals or possibly not even get out of pool play. the USA will make it out of pool play lmao. And probably make at least the semis unless they play one of Serbia Turkey or Italy in the QF. And even then I wouldn’t say they 100 percent lose to those 3 teams lol It would not be a given that the US would beat Poland or Brazil. I think China will improve as well with ZT. Japan is always dangerous. I haven't kept track of all the qualified teams. Maybe getting out of pool play is easier this time with no Russia. We'll see if there's a pool of death this time around. China not getting out of pool play in Tokyo was a bit of a shock. Then on the men's side, the US not getting into the Quarters. Anyhow point being is anything is possible. |

USA matches up bad against them. Brazil is mid tho |

Wait did anyone see Thompson’s post? Is she going back to Milan? I’m confused, especially with Egonu there.
