Two years of eligibility left after transferring in from a top school. Sounds really familiar. Hoping that Jolie will be the 2nd coming of Heather Bown. Perhaps Riley will be Kanani part 2. She got high hops? Can’t wait to see!

She got high hops? Can’t wait to see! Heather Bown was a Middle. How about Jolie being the 2nd coming of Emily Hartong.

Anybody who’s been following UH volleyball for years would know that. What I was referring to was the similarities of transferring with 2 years left and hoping that Jolie would be as dominant, regardless of position. Which is why I stated that in my post. Btw, Hartong was also a middle when she first came in.

Oregon. 100% Beast. hawaiiathletics.com/roster.aspx?rp_id=4291

Very tall order, but one could still hope.

This weird american measuring system. Hannah today posted a picture on instagram. in the picture you are to 4. on the picture is also Amber Igiede. it is given as 6'3. hannah is clearly bigger than her There's sometimes discussion about players not looking their listed heights. One has to wonder when Hannah is listed as 6'2" and Amber and Tiffany are listed as 6'3", yet Hannah is taller in pictures. Either Hannah is a little taller than listed, or the other 2 are a little shorter than listed.

It's hard to determine heights from photos. There are pictures of all three girls individually next to each other and some pictures Hannah looks taller other pictures Tiffany looks taller and the same for Amber. I guess it comes down to where the photos were taken, what shoes they are wearing. If we are honestly going to know the truth put them all in bare feet and up against a wall shoulder to shoulder that will settle it all. If one girl is off by ¼ or ½ inch, does it matter? All I know is that we have some strong front row players with size and talent — something we have not have had in many years. I am looking forward to routing for all of them during the first game of the season even if they are playing or not. I also saw Amber and Tiffany out with each other while with my son who is 6’2 both girls were taller than him. I met both girls and they were very respectful and charming. I’m sure all of our questions will be answered during game day.

I'm glad UH Athletics and the media are doing more of these video interviews and features, versus the written articles. I don't mind the articles but the videos are more accessible, entertaining, and more personal. You get to actually hear the athletes and coaches speak, see the expressions on their faces, and see them move. You get to see their personalities as well.

Either Hannah is a little taller than listed, or the other 2 are a little shorter than listed. It depends on how the photos were taken, angles, slouching. 1-inch doesn't make that much of a difference.

I don't think I have ever seen Tiffany, Amber, or Hannah with big hair? Every team on-court photo I have seen. Their hair pulled has been pulled back. Like I mentioned previously game day will tell all.

I wonder if the explanation is as simple as Sweden does not practice the same "height inflation" as in the U.S.
