Reyn Akiu, libero, Texas Tech? why another libero? We have one redshirt freshman and a sophomore plus a lot of DS already. what we need are OPP and OH. Because we have no proven ones. We graduated our Libero and 2 DS that we’re first off the bench. There’s Ross, but I think Robyn wants her as the attacking DS. A Libero was definitely needed

We do NOT have any experienced libero on the team. We need one very badly if we have hopes of post season again. Reyn was all conference or something like that so I have NO problem with her transferring back home. McKenna Ross will probably transition to a hitter. Janelle Gong is not ready yet and I don’t think Okino will become a libero. Okino will likely be a serving specialist. The two girls coming in at the right time IMHO.

One more transfer in the works?

Hawai`i should get into contact with Lexi when the NCAA gives the OK.

Alright, where does it say that Akiu has transferred? There's literally nothing here except a post randomly stating her name and a link that she's not at Texas Tech.
Also, if anyone knows the names of these players that have transferred, spill. We all need some info on recruits. It has been QUITE the boring offseason considering all we lost from the senior class. None of this "I know something but won't say" blah blah.
And FYI - I wouldn't give Ross or Maafala scholarships unless we cant get anyone else. And if we can't, that's sad. I appreciate both players, but this is not the year to give scholarships to walk ons.

No one is going to say anything until official. As with anything NCAA, no one wants to jeopardize anything. Some people don't understand how things can change in an instant. Too many factors and moving parts.

Yeah, I understand. I'm not asking for official announcements or social media posts from players or coaches. But posters like to throw up rumors "I know something..." posts with know feet behind it. Rather people just say things straight, lol.

I have no inside knowledge or any inside scoop. I am just trusting the poster on Cindy Luis' blog. He/She seems very certain that Reyn will transfer back home. That poster also mentioned Leka Kiner-Falefa(formerly of UNLV) as the other libero that would be coming back home. According to that poster, Akiu would be eligible immediately while Leka would have to sit out a year.
The poster could be all wet and is making stuff up but he sounded reasonable enough to be convincing. For Reyn to be omitted from the Texas Tech roster, she have to have left the program. Why else would they remove her name from the roster if she was still there? She was a big part of the program and an all conference type player.
Maybe the chance to play for Robyn and the chance to play at least one season in front of family and friends is something too good to pass up.
Of course, no announcement will be made until she enrolls at UH. If she does end up here, our libero position should be in good hands for this upcoming season.

Hawaii SHOULD be on her radar... she would be a huge celebrity like nowhere else in the country and at the same time become a better player without the threat of a 6’4” big coming off the bench to take her place or an overwhelming academic curriculum. She truly would flourish.
