What would the Wahine need to do next season to end up being a Top 4 seed? Will Robyn need to bring in teams from the B1G, PAC12, and SEC, for their 3 pre-conference tournaments. The Wahine will not get a top four seed. Even if they had a number one OOC sos, the big west will tear them down. It would take the wahine going undefeated throughout the season and their pre conference being other wordly good for it to happen. Going undefeated next year is a possibility if everyone stays healthy. So it will come down to what kind of teams Robyn can bring in during their 3 pre-conference tournaments.

I was pretty spot on predicting teams we would play so I'll give it a go once again. I wish RAM would shy away from scheduling teams who have Hawaii ties as its going to be quite difficult once we get less OOC matches due to UCSD, Bakersfield joining the BigWest soon.
Any who and all JUST FOR FUN........
Tournament #1 Baylor, Nebraska, San Diego #2 Denver, Stephen F Austin, USC #3 Pitt, Rice, UCLA
Two match series: Missouri

I hope we get a couple of big name transfers. We might get surprised again at who Robyn and staff might be cherry picking (or grape picking) through the transfer vine. The European Kiraly girl might be an instant impact like Hanna next season. Hopefully Jolie will continue to rehab and get stronger. She should be back at full strength in the Spring.

Possible setter transfers: Ashley Shook - Texas S. Torres - Utah (this is a stretch, but a possibility) Possible DS/L: maybe one of the Arizona's girls on the transfer portal i think overall, we might be a transfer from oregon. With a connection and how they did this year, a few of them is bound to transfer out. but the bigger question is that will we have people currently in the program transfer out?

Do we really want Shook? She couldn’t even beat out Gabriel, who we didn’t even bother to offer.

Robyn is a setter and an Olympic one to boot. She knows setters and will only go after the best!

Shook has the pedigree, size and the experience to run the 5-1. Yes, she could not beat out Gabriel but maybe Elliot didn't want to mess with the chemistry and left Gabriel in even after Shook returned from her injury.
I am not Robyn but if I was her, I would take Shook. She could be like the Oregon transfers and excel here. Maybe Robyn's coaching would be something she needs.
#6 in her class...Under Armour first team AA, etc.... We don't get that kind of recruits often so if somebody like her wants to come, I will open the door for her.
Only thing is she is from Illinois so she will be going far from home.
She was here in March for the exhibition and seems to have had a good time. She would fall under the category of players who played here with an opponent and later transferred here..ala BVS, JR and even far back as Olivia Magill

One of my wishes is for ALL of the Wahine to remain injury free throughout the season.

Wouldn’t it kind of depend also on Ashley’s major she’s not graduating in 3 years right ? Wonder if Hawaii has some major comparable to what she’s majoring in (I don’t know). But I would like to see Hawaii get an OH as I’m pretty confident that BVS could be a setter for us

If today's loss showed anything it's that BVS needs to be on the outside. There has been 0 indication that she would be a good D1 setter other than putting up spectacular OOS sets, but running an offense takes a lot more than that and she has been a complete stud at OH. No way she sets next season.

Hawaii’s really in a good position to where they can get the best available player and make room for them. They also have the advantage now of having a good core so a superstar that wants to win may go with them.
