She needs to leave her horrible attitude (when her team is losing) at home and try and pack some floor defense in her carry-on bag if she gets an invite Is horrible attitude in the room with us? Lol. Sure her ability to play in crunch time needs to be tested and she got tentative in NCAAs. But I wouldn’t conflate that with horrible attitude It was in the room when they lost to San Diego and it definitely left a sour taste in my mouth

I know and its unfortunate because she deserves a shot. Maybe I'm just biased but I'm such a stickler for a setter than can run it fast and do it well Idk what happened in between NCAA and her transition but she wasn’t even getting playing time in AU where sure all the PVF setters were also the four starters there but she didn’t get playing time over Bruns who was cut from PVF. Additionally Ray Santos didn’t even get playing time in AU season 2 and is beating her out now in the PVF. During her limited playing time she’s seemed inconsistent and slow to the ball? I never noticed it at SD/PSU but she’s like falling or setting from her knees every play Hmmm thanks for that insight, I honestly haven't been able to keep up with her post-NCAA as much as I would like. I know that a common criticism she would get is too many sets falling/from her knees but its unfortunate to hear that it sounds like she is sort of regressing

Her blocking liability at this next level up is what’s keeping her out of the lineup…I also think the Puerto Rican coach has been favoring some Puerto Rican players a bit on his team (hence Santos having a long leash). I wish he would start Blossom against teams with less terminal outsides like Gonzales or Papa/Loberg, but it just doesn’t seem like that’s gonna happen. If she worked on getting her vertical even like 3 inches higher, I think it would do wonders for her getting more block touches and having a better chance at starting.

if only we could get a plummer-gray-hentz moment again sooner than later. Sorry Fitzmorris/OG molly phillips Fitz could’ve had a Dixon type career if she stayed in the middle in my opinion… lol

I have about as much confidence that Hambly can improve one of his player’s technique as I do that he can improve their SAT score.

She played out of position most of her career for the benefit of the team, hit. Doesn't get enough credit for that. She was a very elite quick hitter, and her blocking was obviously a game-changer.

I thought she switched because of the back issues? or partly motivated by those at least

Karch is going to take Plummer Krob Larson & Frantti on the outside. I personally would take Skinner over Larson and find a way to get Lanier on the roster, but I'm pretty certain this is what he's going with. And to the poster above who said they would take Kipp over Drews, I want whatever it is that they're smoking cause HUH? Well the team can bring 13 players now. So I wouldn’t be surprised if he brings 5 OHs (KRob, Plummer, Larson, Frantti, and hopefully Lanier). Lord knows he’s not going to use the extra slot for another Lib. Especially one as great as Hentz

Especially one as great as Hentz That 13th player is essentially a traveling alternate. It's purpose is to be an emergency reserve in case of an injury during the Olympics. It might make the most sense to designate a libero as the 13th player and take your full complement of potential scoring players/positions.
