if jordyn was off the roster, and the actual two setters were micha and lauren — who would you all want as the official alternate spot? anna stevenson hall? This hypothetical is pointless since all of this has already been decided... I'd 100% take Hall lol that’s why i posted this on an open forum for debate! like what

It honestly seemed like they put the roster out early to try to quell conversation about the more controversial selections (Poulter and Plummer). I just dont see any benefits to putting it out early. If they dont preform in the VNL (which they didnt), it creates more scrutiny. (and certainly added more to the JP/KP convo) If changes need to be made, they cant (if one's ego is at stake) They can still train an "A" team without naming a roster. mess. The early roster selection was definitely a player driven decision. KRob & others were upfront on wanting more reps with a stable roster to build connections… now with the injuries they still got a revolving door of players during all VNL, so it didn’t work out as intended. With this veteran group there weren’t really many close choices, especially after Larson proved her worth. The players hate the uncertainty during VNL if the Olympic roster decision it held back… now if you have a bunch of younger players who are competing for spots, you live with the tension & see who excels.

Seems like LC was always the number 1 pick and the choice was between Poulter and Hancock this VNL. Poulter came back and was not ready.. anyone that’s not bias could see this. I truly feel for Hancock who had her best tournament for USA ever, last VNL.

I have to agree. Sundy said as much, and you know it was coming from Karch. (for the record I think LC should be #1).

Poulter was #1
#2/#3 mostly whatever to Karch.
But he knows if he didnt name Carlini maybe she *Frantti’s*. So Carlini makes roster. He can bring Hancock in from alternate if needed.

If Jordyn hadn't got hurt and Ashley hadn't imploded at Grand Rapids, our girl LC would sadly be watching another Olympics from her beautiful sofa.
