OH Sarah Wilhite Parsons is on the list. So no Ali Frantti is definitely perplexing.

In that case, second setter options I'm proposing: Wait, Grome, or Kerr. TBH, if Babcock is missing U21 for this, Reilly could've too. It's Fairbanks, I'm pretty sure. I think its weird, not integrating Bergen... that's one thing that USAV does dreadfully (not integrating their younger players with those at a higher level) no offense to Fairbanks, but I don't see that happening for USA. Fairbanks is angling for that Ashley Evans national team career.

What made me feel bad for Frantti is that in the match right before the team was announced, Frantti came in late for Skinner, who had come in for Plummer, to bring life back to the USA side.
I actually felt that match likely secured a spot for her so was a little surprised when the team was announced.

Which isn’t the first time she’s played well against them

All players know they sign up for 3 potential outcomes: rostered spot, alternate, or cut. Quitting (if she did) says something about her character and/or the people that she listened to after she didn't make the team. It had to be almost tougher for the alternates to see the rostered team celebration on social media than it was for those who were cut, because they had to show up and work with the team and remain committed to being alternates until they leave for Paris. In Frantti's case, one has to wonder NOW how she is feeling (if she did quit) with Plummer potentially injured. Without a doubt, she would have been the choice to take the rostered spot if Plummer is unable to make it. Tough life lesson . . .

She’s the same deserving person she was before and after her decision.

This is a very reasonable reaction whether or not she was surprised by the decision (or whether or not it was a good decision, for that matter). USA coaching staff must have factored in players' wanting a break after being cut. Certainly if I had dedicated 4 years to a specific goal and fell short, I would feel disappointed enough to want some time off. I'd be surprised if she rules out any NT participation in the future. This is probably a major setback for the moment and she's allowed to grieve. I hope she returns just as strong, if not stronger.

Like let the girl feel what she feels and leave her character out of it. Everything you typed is based on conjecture, we don't even know if she quit.

plus a fresh start with a new coach. 🤞🏻🤞🏻🤞🏻Someone doesn't stick around for LA I think there's a zero percent chance of Karch not sticking around for LA.

We should pay santarelli 1 million dollars a year. Yall would probably still be upset though because even he would have left frantii of this Olympic roster. She is the odd one out

She is the odd one out Saying that Plummer's club coach would also pick her if he coached the national team is not a particularly insightful observation. And unless he could figure out a way to make her more productive with the national team, then people would feel the same way about her performance.
