lanier will not be a starter, that's a fact not putting her down! There are pages on top of pages of you trying to make shady comments about the team and the players. If you’re going to be a jerk, own it. NO!

Highly unlikely. USA needs new opposites more than anything in the pipeline... The Opps in LA will be Eggleston and Skinner and they’ll win gold. Not disagreeing, but do we think Madi will go back to playing on the left? Seems to be more comfortable there.

USA players take longer to develop.. at least half the Paris team will be in LA.. Definitely over half of the current 30 could be in LA. Omitting those committed to LOVB: Ls: Morgan Hentz, Zoe Fleck, Kendall White MBs: Dana Rettke, Stevie Hall, Asjia O’Neal, Brionne Butler, Serena Gray, Kayla Haneline OHs: Kathryn Plummer, Avery Skinner, Khalia Lanier, Ali Frantti OPPs: Madi Skinner, Kendall Kipp, Taylor Mimms Ss: Ashley Evans, Jenna Gray, PLUS: those seen training for NORCECA events, and still others from U21. What an inventory of US talent! you lost me at Kendall White… I’m so sorry

This is similar for any other national team. Most olympic teams will have at least halft their squad from the previous squad and so on. It takes a while. I hope you are wrong for USA at least. In the next 4 years with 2 domestic pro leagues, this nation has to be able produce Olympic level talent still in their 20’s able to beat out most of this group! You would only have 2 players on this roster under 30 in 2028 (Dana & Avery both 29). The remaining OH’s will be 42, 36 & 30; MB’s 33 & 33; RS 35 & 31; setters 36, 33 & 31. Yea, I think we're going to see a *lot* of turnaround for 2025 world championships... or at least I hope we do. It should be the start of the committal to LA.. and not hanging on to players that wont be around come olympics (cries in 2018/19 purge)

This team has a lot of carryover from the one in Tokyo, but I think that's to be expected considering that they're the defending gold medalists and have the same coach. If the team underperforms in Paris and/or there is a change in the head coach, then there would probably be more turnover.

And like Ali Frantti, Kendall White’s age group will likely be long gone by 2028 LA.

If god answered prayers it would be skinner/skinner on the left and Logan on the right and all of my dreams would come true, including Asjia in the middle. Karch [russia] if you’re listening…

Also Sans Cuttino. Wonder what happened there.
If she was dismissed that makes me feel bad for her because I thought she was fairly improved this year.

do you think it’s more likely they walked away from the team or intentionally left off?
