Twenty-seven players on the roster? That's crazy. 29 actually when Rooks gets reinstated and adding Iosia and Taylor. I think 6-7 of the newcomers are redshirting.

The two are reunited after leading Punahou to the 2012 State Championship.

Is beach vb training similar to other sports, that once you hit a certain team size, you lose out on some training opportunities?

#1 is making the transition to indoors, it's a gradual process. --- A big part of the sand involves conditioning. The campus is so close to Waikik that morning workouts could be done on the shores of beaches, literally. The Ching is equipped with five courts moreover. The 2017 team is truly only about 20ish.

Where is Hannah Rooks? I've always lobbied for Rooks and that German girl, Lara Schreiber, to play indoors because they seemed so athletic on the beach. Now, Schreiber is gone. My dream of seeing Rooks indoors is the only thing keeping me going.

The two are reunited after leading Punahou to the 2012 State Championship. That is exciting. I remember viewing a youtube video of the post-match interviews of that Punahou team, which included Kan and Manu-Olevao (in addition to Higgins). As much as this is a "reunion" of sorts, it's not a big deal. I'm sure Kan and Higgins kept in touch over the years so it's not like they're hugging and crying tears of joy now that they're both on the same UH team. But who knows. Maybe they are.

I am excited for the season as there seems to be much depth! Can't wait to see the pairings and who will play (hopefully Rooks will be re-instated soon).
Thoughts on pairings? Here are some early guesses:
Taylor (if she's game ready) and Schucht Maglio and Kan Martin and Tucker Bunn and Luyties (or Possibly Kidd) Mitchem and Smith Sibley and Iosia
The coaches have a tough job! Who to play together and at what flight?

I wonder if the beach-only players get ticked off that so many indoor players are joining the team.

In Cindy luis' blog, she mentioned that Hannah Rooks wa suspended indefinitely for "breaking a team room." Wow! That's what I call a beast! To totally trash a team room! The rage in that girl! LOL!
I'm assuming it was a simple typo. If not, party on, Hannah!

Tucker/Martin did well in the fall. I bet they're penciled in.
With whom will Maglio and Taylor (if healthy) partner? Does Homayun (without Rooks) go with Maglio? Taylor will need someone who can move around. I look forward to seeing what Kahakai, Kan and Smith can do on the sand.
Will the Bows have a pair that can beat Claes/Hughes or the twins? I think they'll have to win the lower flights to beat the big teams.

I'm surprised that Hawaii isn't playing UCLA at all this season. Surprisingly our beach only players beat their beach only players in the fall. Our pairs actually tested the McNamara twins too which is great. I wonder how our teams would match-up with the full rosters of indoor and beach only players.
For now I'm just going to go on with predictions without Rooks in there. My guess for pairs would be this.
Taylor / Schucht Martin / Tucker Maglio / Homayun Zalopany / Kan
The fifth usually is the pair that rotates throughout different pairs every game so we could see many of different pairs there.
