You don’t need to be a staff of rocket scientist to see that this roster was showing its age & physically breaking down during VNL ….and shame on the other players in the gym the last 3 years for not making change just obvious by out playing the vets. They get to defend gold which is something, but the next generation needs to step up next quad and Avery, Dana and KP (maybe Hentz) are a good core. which would be great and dandy if they (the usa staff) werent continually wasting opportunities. 2023 was a complete waste. Instead of integrating new players with potential for LA, we got several that werent in consideration for Paris at all. Even this year they still gave time to Cuttino, Parsons (no offense Sarah, you were robbed in Tokyo), and Haneline when Eggelston, Hoffman, and Jimerson all had better pro seasons and higher ceilings (in regards to LA) than any of the aforementioned. I'm not even sure you can blame the other players for not outplaying the vets because 1) they're not getting the opportunity half of the time 2) it doesnt matter anyways. See the setters, opposites, and middles on this roster. JWO is probably the only player on this roster that you can say without a doubt that her performance on court is what earned her spot and not other factors. I would argue that players were given as good a shot at making their case this “quad” as a 3 year block would allow. Remember that Plummer, Rettke & Hancock were left off the WC roster in ‘22 giving others a long training block & top competition to differentiate themselves. ‘23 the USA gym was full, training 2 full teams simultaneously with players moving between A & B training groups and again getting their shot to make their case. VNL 2024 was not a tryout… and some vets were very vocal starting in ‘23 about the lack of time with a set roster to build connections as a contributor to the lack of success. (You could argue that point vs the decline of aging USA stars,coupled with young international Stars turning up and turning out in Türkiye, Poland, Italy etc.) If you add in the log jam of players staying in NCAA with extended Covid eligibility, delaying their chance to develop in a pro environment and the injury/retirement/decline of players who USA invested in early on (thinking Foecke, Stivrins, Sun, Lake & Bajema) this vet group is what you get.
