Hawaii will run the first 6-2 offense of the season. Since they have the Best 1-2 Punch of Setters in the Country, they should take advantage of Beckwith's height in blocking and Kimos ability to ignite the offense with his gambling type setting. Kimo would also be an additional digger/passer in the backcourt. You'll see the best passing from Hawaii all year, this week. It would be nice to see some decent passing for a change. I predict Hawaii will get one game off of BYU this week. Bookumdanoaloha

Bookum,
I agree, they should run a 6 -2. Why not try something different. They're probably going to lose anyway.
There's only one problem. Who's going to coach? Wilton can't even coach a regular line up or keep his players in check. The 6 -2 is way to difficult for Wilton.
I've got a feeling this suspension is way more serious then grades.

I agree, whatever these guys did must have been pretty bad to be suspended before one of the biggest set of matches in their careers.
It's too bad!

Too bad for the Hawaii fans as well. Their team has been on the road for a few weeks and I am sure they were quite ready to play a major role at this match.

Why would you bring religion into these players' suspension? The LDS church has nothing to do with Hawaii men's volleyball. (LBSU's coach's church must have paid some big bucks to get UCLA to let them sweep them twice. About the same logic.) If you had half a clue about what tithing money was used for...Like BYU needs any help beating the Warriors. Wow, RedYukon, you must really be dense because that was CLEARLY a joke. Don't take yourself so seriously.

I'm only as dense as the words I read. Anytime someone rips my church I will take it seriously. As impersonal as text is, you should know better than to write something like that. If it was CLEARLY a joke I wouldn't have had to respond like I did. Watch what you write and make it clear if you are joking.

There will be no 6-2 offense unless it will be run by Tuyay and Rasay. As reported by the news, Beckwith is out with a viral infection. He is considered questionable for the Thursday match. Tuyay will start in his place.

I'm sorry, Big Red, you definitely need to lighten up! I know that the LDS church has taken some hits on this board but not from ALL posters. Puking always has a great sense of humor. Read the line "Like BYU needs any help beating the Warriors"......BYU OBVIOUSLY doesn't need any help. Sorry for the capitols but I learned from Bruin(whiny)Boy that if you type in CAPS then it must be true. (Big Red, this is a joke)
I hope Hawaii doesn't un-redshirt someone just because a few starters were screw-ups. It is not fair to the redshirt to do that. I bet Wilton doesn't. I agree, run the 6-2 offense. Kimo is not chopped liver. In fact, in his VERY early club days, I believe he was a middle blocker.....Bookum, correct me if I am wrong...think 8th grade....

Bad news about Beckwith! When it rains, it pours and for some reason, right now it is pouring on Hawaii.

When Kimo played for Seaside 15U and 14U, he was in a 6-2 (Monster position). He played Middle and Setter in a modified 6-2 I believe. He was getting triple doubles every tournament in assists, blocks and kills. Was sort of a phenom back then. He played with the Great David Lee, Middle Blocker from Long Beach State.
I'm hoping Long Beach State will host the playoffs, so that I don't have to go to Provo (Smith Field House), that place is brutal. I did enjoy Park City, UT.

This reallu sucks for Hawaii, I mean I would love to see Arri, and Mat get some playing time, but with Arri in the mix up, the passing should be better right?, Arri can play OH/L... But anyways, GO WARRIORS!!! Go Arri!! Go Matt!!! Go team go!! Woohoo!! ;D

Suspended? I hope this does not leave a sour taste for the players and they decide to quit. Wilton is the staff sargent. Remember Bauer's letter after his season...Hawaii would have struggled with their starters and now 3 starters not playing...Kiss this one good bye...the morale must be low right now...
No matter what I will cheer for the home team...

If it was CLEARLY a joke I wouldn't have had to respond like I did. Watch what you write and make it clear if you are joking. Red, Red, Red......what am I going to do with you? How old are you kid? First of all, it's not "YOUR" church, there are millions of other members of various shapes, sizes and colors and various degrees of mentalities, from the sane (me) to the insane (Marie Osmond). Second of all, I find if offensive as a Mormon that you dont' have a sense of humor. I mean, how could you not find the initial post a joke? I feel very qualified to poke fun at BYU and Mormonism.....sure I fell short of my 10% tithing last year...I always fall asleep during sacrament meeting in the back row...sometimes I wish that the sacrament bread was Kings Hawaiian bread instead of white bread, and the water was pineapple orange guava juice...sure I detest Young Adult dances, the whole rush to marriage mentality, sometimes I wish I could just attend church without given a church calling, and would die for a 8 piece band, fronted by super diva - now a Mormon - Gladys Knight, instead of our boring church hymns made by white people for white people - but by hell, I am a good Mormon and I will poke fun when I want to!! ;D
