Larson has enough years of training stored inside her that I just don’t really think it would’ve made that much of a difference tbh. At this age, she is what she is and brings what she brings. I doubt she’s gonna suddenly be a shank monster in VNL and she’ll still be out there trying to toy with opposing blocks/getting occasional good kills but not being a reliable high level terminator. There's the concern that without reps at competition level that she'll loose the speed of the game.

I mean I guess that feeds my point. Although I don’t know what intangibles she brings, leadership and what not. With some of the talent and youth the US has I’m not sure karch has room for a sentimental/symbolic roster spot.

Like it’s crazy that you’re choosing (allegedly) an athlete that doesnt actually play professionally currently instead of all the new young talent that’s performing well right now…

Going into an Olympic year, I think most coaches would go with talent they know rather than having the roster searching for chemistry.

…but it’s like she’s automatically going, at least that’s the vibe. Pics on instagram of yourself working out, has she been in the US gym?

I’m sure VNL will be telling

Im not crazy about Larson going tbh. Cook and Plummer should be the first two up with the form they are in. Theres also Skinner, Lanier, Frantti, and Parsons (who has had a very good season on an overperforming team) in the mix.
Eggleston should be the first up at opposite (she wont be).
They wouldnt be the favourite but a starting 6 of Cook Plummer Chi Washington Carlini Logan could definitely have a shot.
