Any thoughts?

Really great for him, but one wonders if he has a great tournament playing with professionals if he will decide that it's time to go.

Still, I hope he does a great job.

The Norway-US game just started- Larkin was the starting center

Good for him!!

Not that it matters too much here- but Larkin one of three collegiate players- Jimmy Vesey from Harvard, Mike Reilly from Minnesota, and Jack Eichel from BU.

Eichel is the youngest on the team by 3 months, but those two are the youngest by 2 years. Pretty special tournament for those two.

Think one more year as a leader at Michigan where Larkin has to produce would be good for him, along with another year of strength...Trouba was physically ready, by contrast.

By the way, it was great watching a young, talented USA team, even in the loss to Russia.
