I can understand shutting it down and training, but it seams as if some of them haven't raced at all since the US Champs. How are they going to be sharp for Osaka? And when is the team going to be set?

gotta get juicing up no time to race
i think you overestimate how long it takes for these guys to get sharp. they've shut it down for a month and now they'll start racing. and since aug 1 is the last day to get a qualifier, you can expect the team to be announced last this week or early next.
yeah some of the runners have been laying low but a lot of them have come off collegiate seasons and need a bit of rest. ex: leo manzano, jenny barringer, anna willard, galen rupp, michelle sikes, etc.
then there are others who have been mia for who knows what reason: adam goucher, abdi abdirahmen, josh mcadams, katie mcgregor. who knows why they haven't raced especially mcadams. there are injury rumors about goucher, mcgregor and abdi are in the 10k and don't need quite as many prep races. i would have thought mcadams would have run a steeple and maybe some shorter stuff already but i don't think he has raced since nationals.
McAdams won the pan-am steeple recently.
don't follow the sport real close, huh? yeah, mcadams probably should race. maybe somewhere like the pan-am games. maybe a guy like him should win the pan-am games.
There are rumors that Willard is injured and Galaviz could be added to the team.
