Okay, but Queens 2x, Lincoln Memorial 2x, St. Francis, McKendree? Come on Not in complete disagreement about the schedule but McKendree is a part of the BYU tournament so that team is not really a fair criticism as they have little to no control over who BYU schedules. I also wonder if a team dropped out of the Queen's portion of the schedule. It doesn't seem like it's a tournament, but it's an odd schedule. Matches are going from Thursday to Sunday with Hawaii playing Thursday to Saturday. The host Queens starts the schedule on Thursday with Hawaii, skips Friday, and plays Hawaii again on Saturday and then St. Francis on Sunday. St. Francis starts on Friday with Hawaii, plays Belmont Abbey on Saturday, and Queens on Sunday. To me, it looks like Queens had some trouble scheduling teams to come down to play and possibly had to use Belmont Abbey as a replacement for another team.

Gage will be the libero. Serving and defensive specialists are only allowed to sub in once per set. I see. Gage would make a good Libero, it’s just that we are gonna miss his tough serves. Thelle has a great serve.

I know this is a year away, but do we have a setter to follow Worsley on the team already, or are we recruiting someone to come in?

I think 6’6 Jakob Thelle , off the Norwegian national team, will give Joe all he can handle competition wise .

Gym II has such a different feel than Gym I now. But glad UH got the upgrade.

Gym 1 is slated for a face lift similar to that of Gym 2 so next year, the Wahine and the Warriors will have a place to call home and a nice one.
I do wonder if the volleyball team will put their own "motto" on the wall. The "Live Aloha Play Warrior" is really a Nick ROlovich thing and I guess the men's bball team decide to use it.

Since the men’s season is about to start, I will be creating match threads starting with the exhibitions against British Columbia. The more elegant threads will start with the Warrior Classic.
Go Bows!

There's another thread re 2020 commitments that mentions Mira Costa's Jack Walmer (Setter) committing to Hawaii next year by poster Newport2020. If true, we are well insured at the setter position for years to come. Setter depth may mean that Van Eekeren does not see court time this year or next.

I think that's why Jayce Ashment left the team he saw the writing on the wall so to speak. I can't speak for Van Eekeren, nor but maybe he likes being on team as a back up setter.

Interested to see what the new recruits can do and if they can crack the lineup or get some valuable PT, especially against a lot of returning starters.
Humler seems like he could have the skill level to push or even beat out Rosie. Issue might be if there's enough ball control from the OH2 spot. Rosie was a steady passer, but he sometimes disappears on offense.
Johnson looks like a sleeper. From his clips he looks like he could be a good ball control OH2.
Of course these are just short highlight vids. Will have to see how they perform at this level...
Thelle is interesting. As a foreign recruit, he could probably start right away. Joe just brings so much experience and volleyball IQ though ... still, it's hard to ignore a possible 6'6" option at setter.
I was concerned when I saw the transfers in the off season, but I think the competition for PT among the current roster looks fantastic!
