Assuming ross gets a scholorship, and so does casteneda, we have 3 scholorships to give. Theyll for sure be looking for a pin and possibly a middle. I say go for 2 pins and a libero Ma'afala would get a scholarship before Ross Maybe they both do and we only get two transfers? Both deserve it IMO. Especially. If ross starts at either the pins or libero

I personally thought Sibley was given too much oppurtunity under Shoji. Mitchem should have replaced her at the left side much earlier. Why so defensive? Seems more like you have personal affiliation or bias towards Sibley...and I might be wrong but it seems you are in the minority when it comes to the impact Sibley could have made And common sense coaches will play girls that put in the effort, work hard and have a good work ethic...why would you play someone that doesn't give their best effort...that just shows your lack of understanding as a coach...just like a job would you hire someone that doesn't put in the effort or have a good work ethic? No, not defensive. I am just pointing out that I believe (whether in the minority or not), that Sibley has potential and was not given the opportunity to prove herself. ( a lot of people believed in her when she was recruited and as a freshman last year) I also believed in Burns when the majority did not. It's just my opinion. As far as understanding the importance of work ethic, I fully understand what it means and its importance. My point. Is that some coaches put more emphasis on fitness over other skills. Shoji for example, was less concerned with whether or not a player finished last in a run. Again, it's the coaches prerogative to choose the culture they want to create but that doesn't necessarily negate a player's worth or value. Also, to be clear, I am not saying Sibley has a poor work ethic. She showed up to camp a little out of shape (sometimes there are reasons such as injury etc.) and she never worked her way into the line up. That doesn't mean she doesn't have potential. IMO

Seeing her in the Illinois match, I think Ross would be a good back-up outside if Granato or Castillo struggles and even an attacker defensive specialist. I highly doubt that she will start at libero but maybe I see Gong at libero or a big time transfer froma Power-5 Conference

I wouldn't rule Emily Maglio out as a coach just because she has a reserved personality...if you watched Robyn play when she was at UH she was one of the most shy and reserved players back then but look at her now That’s true I never really thought that in a way they are kinda similar in that aspect! They both have a lot of hard work and passion for the game too. Watch Mags be a coach one day lol! Hope she’ll be in the Olympics for Canada You never know. Maglio's a straight A kind of student and will be focusing on studies and playing Beach volleyball, but I bet if she can get in the gym indoors (given her schedule and international aspirations), you never know. Would the coaching staff even want a student volunteer coach? I know other teams have taken them on.

you keep thinking im a troll. no clue why. someone made negative comments about the team the other day yet it was ok for that person. you are too funny. kaleo is from kauai, enough said. yeah he was ivc, uci, not saying he's a bad coach, just saying they aren't as good as other programs, but they all can get there i understand kendra being a hitter, but she didn't hit for the last 3 years. the thing i find interesting is some of you keep praising robyn but keep trying to coach by saying who should play, who shouldnt. coaching is a big part of elite programs. although they are not there YET, there's no reason they can't get there Because Kaleo is from Kauai, he isn't a good coach? If you can do any better, I would like to see that.

I highly doubt that she will start at libero but maybe I see Gong at libero or a big time transfer froma Power-5 Conference I thought blocking was a weakness for Hawaii this season. Iosia was the second highest blocker on the team (prior to post season) with 67 blocks compared to Maglio's 150. Maglio possibly could have had more block assists but teams quickly figured out going down line (mostly on Granato or Iosia) was open mainly because Maglio took the cross court (or they tried tipping over the block). Having Mitchem and Taylor on the outside was huge (much like Illinois- Bastianelli had a lot of help all season long). Having shorter pin hitters is concerning mostly defensively (especially if Ma'afala were setting - love her by the way). The middle will probably be fine next season, but it would be nice to have some height on the outside. Depending on who fills the remaining scholarship will likely dictate where Ross will play.

If you can do any better, I would like to see that. never said he isnt a good coach First learn how to use the quote feature it's not that hard to figure out Secondly that's what you were implying by making stupid comments about him being from Kaua'i. Where he is from has nothing to do with his knowledge or how good of a coach he is. All this shows is the lack of credibility you have by discrediting someone based on where they are from And yes if you think you can do better than let's see you join Robyn's staff and see what you can do

No, not defensive. I am just pointing out that I believe (whether in the minority or not), that Sibley has potential and was not given the opportunity to prove herself.

As far as understanding the importance of work ethic, I fully understand what it means and its importance. My point. Is that some coaches put more emphasis on fitness over other skills. Shoji for example, was less concerned with whether or not a player finished last in a run. Again, it's the coaches prerogative to choose the culture they want to create but that doesn't necessarily negate a player's worth or value. Also, to be clear, I am not saying Sibley has a poor work ethic. She showed up to camp a little out of shape (sometimes there are reasons such as injury etc.) and she never worked her way into the line up. That doesn't mean she doesn't have potential. IMO It's not about finishing first or last it's about the effort and work you are willing to put in...some people are just faster than others, some are just better than others...if you finish last and still put all your heart and effort you will get that playing time, so again it's not about finishing first or last it's about the effort and work you are willing to put in and the improvements you make. If you finish last and not putting in the effort than yes you deserve to sit and not play. And I'm sure that's what Robyn is looking for, those that will put in the work and effort as she stated from the get go she is looking for girls that will work hard and put in their best every day at practice Secondly I didn't say that Sibley didn't have potential, I'm saying that there are other girls in front of her that is making more of a difference and impact than she is... In no way do I have anything against Sibley and IMO she is just behind the other girls that are getting playing time...and maybe she should've gotten more chances or playing time but who are we to make that call especially when we are not at practice everyday seeing what Robyn and the rest of the coaching staff sees
