For someone who is new here, what is separating LC, Micha and JP from the pack?? It seems odd that it’s the same top three for two quads given the pipeline of talent development These are the 3 best based off of college and professional play. They all had successful seasons in Italy playing against the best players in the world. The only other setter coming out of college that had a real shot at the nationals team with this group was SSS but she has not been at the level of these 3 post college. If these 3 stick around for LA and stay healthy this will most likely be our 3 setters next quad also. I don’t see anyone coming up to really challenge them. Everyone is really hard on them but all three are top 15 setters in the world. Not sure any other country can say that.

No suggestions, just comparing to the other position groups that seem to have more new faces (reading through the forum mostly, not having watched most of the last quad). For the most part, everyone seems to be really hard on them even for being top 15 in the world For someone who is new here, what is separating LC, Micha and JP from the pack?? It seems odd that it’s the same top three for two quads given the pipeline of talent development We'd have to have a "pipeline" to actually compare to, but that's not USAV way. But in all seriousness, which up and comers do you think deserved a shot? Do you have a specific setters that are recent grads or pros playing right now? Baseline, those three have the most experience running Karch's style of fast offence and have the most international experience. Not many, if any, setters that have graduated over the last few years have gone on to start for top international clubs. Also, this was a shortened quad so it was always going to be a massive uphill battle for any new setter

For the most part, everyone seems to be really hard on them even for being top 15 in the world it's also a karch-ism. he will always pick the veterans over change/fresh faces. (see setters, cuttino, middles, etc) the really only big time he hadnt was bringing JT into the fold in the last cycle (but he also kinda had to so idk) and perhaps Poulter too.

If Jenna Gray (and maybe SKT) isn't given significant playing time with the A team next quad, I'm changing nationality.

And now, for the 2032 Brisbane XXXV USA Olympic Women's National Team, our starting setter will be none other than... 🥁 Charlie Fuerbringer! *eagle screech*

If Poulter can’t play they have until the 26th to change it without using the alternate
