The key for Hawaii is not to aspire to be great and dominating all of the time. Usually when the ball goes out it's because someone is trying to do more than what they actually need. It doesn't have to be exciting all of the time, they just have to play steady. I didn't see Soler making the "X" thing or whatever but it seems really funky. Can't he just do a fist pump of something? Hey, warriordudette88, any updates on your site?

I can't really determine how Hakala will pan out yet. He was coming off an injury from the Alberta exhibition, and probably wasn't yet at 100 percent. I think his ball-control and defense is better than Bender's, but I think Bender is more explosive and a bigger offensive threat when he's not blasting balls 26 feet past the endline. When Bender and Delgado are both in, it gives UH a highly effective pipe threat in all 6 rotations. But with Thomas coming back as a major offensive force in the middle, and Azenha at opposite gobbling up alot of the sets, they may not need as much offense out of the backrow OH, in which case I'd definetely play Hakala over Bender to solidify the passing game. Like I said earlier, I really think Delgado is the key guy. If he can be effective as a passer/hitter to help Reft out on the receive, UH's offense will be really good. Delgado can also be a major offensive force when called upon. I remember when he replaced Zimet at OPP during his frosh year and had a big offensive match against UCSB at Rob Gym while hitting on the right. I agree with you on Delgado. And thanks for responding as well.
