Was really pulling for McKellar to get a shot at OPP, but with the lack of MB/MH on the team Coach Wade is just trying out anyone there to see who sticks. Who are the actual MH prospects on the team, and I don't mean the ones being asked to move from their other position to play MH, but the actual current MH prospects on the team? I think the actual true MB's/MH's are Nainoa Frank, Luke Owens & Patrick Gasman. Dalton Solbrig is listed as a MB/MH, but I saw his YouTube recruiting video and he is kind of used as a Utility player, he can play middle, outside, opposite and maybe setter(?)

Yeah heard about Gasman, tough break for the kid. Owens and Frank are the true MH/MB prospects, both I'm guessing are coming off redshirt years, but green as can be, and I hear there's another MH/MB that's coming in by the name of Jack Reese, what's his status? Will he be here pretty soon or is he coming in later? Hope Wade can find those players ready to step up/step in, Good luck Coach.

Wow it's going to be interesting to see who Wade can find to plug in at those 2 middle positions. All in all should be a very fun season, Good luck Coach and Go Warriors!!

Says he played in the Eredivisie league. I hope UH got everything cleared up with his NCAA eligibility.

According to Volleyball Magazine, Brett Rosenmeier is 3rd ranked recruit. With such a huge recruiting class, majority will probably redshirt/sit on the bench. I hope the middle situation settles out soon, and someone(s) steps up.

I hope the middle situation settles out soon, and someone(s) steps up. I'm gonna trust Wade and believe he knows what he is doing in terms of shuffling players to the Middle position. He did have success with Grgas and Dyer when he moved both of them to the middle positions. I'm just worried that all of these "studs" will seek playing time somewhere else.

One way to look at it though, is if players bail to play elsewhere for playing time, then they probably feel they cannot compete with the players that do stay.

Will Charlie move Worsley to libero next season when Van Eekern comes in? That boy is a human vacuum and will take Kanetake 's place with ease imo. Maybe Charlie could find another setter to back up Van Eekern for the season after next when Jennings graduates?

I like the idea of trying 6'7 Lefty Mckeller in the middle...

Warrior volleyball begins trainingBy Stephen Tsai, Star-AdvertiserDecember 29, 2015 KRYSTLE MARCELLUS / JAN. 2014 UH’s (L-R) Jace Olsen, Kolby Kanetake and Joby Ramos celebrate a point in the second set in a game against UCLA at the Stan Sheriff Center on Saturday, January 11, 2014.The members of the University of Hawaii men’s volleyball team went 101 miles — Manoa to Makawao — to get closer to each other. “It’s a chance to get away and do our thing,” said head coach Charlie Wade, whose Warriors opened training camp Monday on the Seabury Hall campus on Maui. “We’ll get some good practice time in, and also have the team-bonding aspect.” Wade said the players and coaches will have access to cell phones and computers for one hour each day of the trip, which runs through Thursday morning. The Warriors return to Manoa that afternoon ahead of Monday’s exhibition match in the Stan Sheriff Center. The season opens with the Jan. 7 first round of the Outrigger Hotels Invitational. In past years, the Warriors held the early part of training camp at Joint Base Pearl Harbor/Hickam and on the North Shore. At Seabury Hall, where the Warriors will have four-to-a-room lodging, “the training will be more focused,” Wade said. The bonding is a necessity for a team that subtracted 11 players from last year’s NCAA-playoff roster while adding 10 first-year Warriors. The Warriors have returning starters at setter (Jennings Franciskovic) and passers (libero Kolby Kanetake and outside hitters Siki Zarkovic and Kupono Fey). Wade said the co-captains — Kanetake, Zarkovic, Fey and Iain McKellar —are designated leaders for the first time in their UH careers. “Now they’re the most veteran guys,” Wade said. “It’s fun to see them emerge as the leaders of the team.” The Warriors need to fill two holes in the middle created with the graduations of Taylor Averill and Davis Holt. Zach Radner retired from volleyball to focus on his engineering studies, Vaughn Wellenreiter opted not to return for his senior season, Kekoa Pukahi is preparing for a church mission, and freshman Patrick Gasman suffered a season-ending foot injury. McKellar, a natural opposite who missed most of last season because of a knee injury, is a leading candidate for a middle job. Hendrik Mol, Nainoa Frank and Luke Owens are the other middle considerations. Last season, Mol suffered diminished vision in his left eye because of an infection. Mol must wear protective glasses during matches. “It was like being struck by lightning,” Wade said of the unlikeliness of Mol’s eye injury. “The doctors had not ever seen that.” Wade said Stijn Van Tilburg, a freshman from the Netherlands, is the top opposite. Brook Sedore completed his eligibility in May. “Stijn was our best opposite in the fall,” Wade said. “He’s played at a high level. He’s a really good student. He does everything the right way.” Wade is hopeful about the roster’s composition. “I like what we know,”Wade said. “We know about Siki, Kupono, Kolby and Jennings. That group has played together a lot. And they’ve grown a fair amount. That part we know. There’s the unproven part, the parts we’re replacing. It seems we’re still evolving and putting together a nice collection of physical talent and guys who have bought into the program.”
