Cindy Luis said Colton Cowell looks to be in the starting lineup. Has he jumped ahead of Brett Rosenmeier?

Yes, that’s the current rumor. Colt has worked his butt off the past year and is playing great ! He also just qualified at the national team tryouts in Anaheim 2 weeks ago for the World University Games in Italy next summer. Way to go Colt ! 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼

It has nothing to do with Rosie’s play and everything to do with Cowell’s improvement, consistently passing the best and hitting for the highest percentage. If he was a player in the 90’s he would have Aaron Wilton status.

Interesting turn of events, good for him. Question is, if Cowell wins the OH2 spot, does he get a scholarship? I would think so.

Good news is that 11 of the 14 home games will be televised this year. Every game except the games against King and Lincoln Memorial (x2).

Season opener is finally here, we get to see who starts, who sits, and how Gage performs as the new starting libero. BC lost a lot of starters from last season's Canadian championship team and are more than midway into this new season, whereas we are fresh out the gates and need to knock off the rust. BC is having a rough year bringing a 6-14 record into tonight's match, I'm expecting an easy win for Hawaii but who knows, its our first match and its an exhibition so the result won't count on our record. I hope to see glimpses of what the freshman class can bring to the team. Let the games begin!

Like other UH sports, I assume stream will be blocked in Hawaii but free stream will be available for mainland viewers?

Watched the match which was never close, Hawaii blew them out. Colton started at OH2, played lights out with 10 kills, 9 for 9 on serve receive, 1 ace, played great D. Solid play by Gasman, Stijn, joe. Hawaii blocking needs work, Gasman with 4 blocks, 1 solo. Solbrig with none. Hawaii offense looks faster, sets are quicker to the pins. Only reserves to see court time: only Thelle and Rosey saw decent minutes. Both did well. Rado hit for zero, 1 ace, benched in set 3 replaced by Stijn. UNC set scores 17,17,19...Hawaii in easy sweep.

Height isn't everything, but it helps in the absence of great hops (i.e. Gasman). Yes there is also speed, quickness, technique and athleticism involved in blocking and hitting, but shorter, effective middles like Averill and Amado and to a lesser degree Mol (a converted middle) are uncommon. That's why I mentioned "athletic enough", if our short middles are in the athletic mode of an Averill or Amado, then we are fine. If not, then they will look like Solbrig and Franks, both were Fab 50 picks with quickness and a decent arm swing but struggle to block anybody. This then places the brunt of playing defense squarely on the shoulders of our back row players. Averill also is a converted middle Played setter out of high school with some right side work. At UCI he was opp/ setter. After he got dropped by Speraw, UH tried him as a setter until he got moved to opposite. Busted his right shoulder and then worked back into the lineup as a middle since brook sedore was playing well on the right. The rest is history, best middle that UH has ever seen in a home town jersey

Great for colt that he beat out rosey but not by a long shot does he deserve scholarship when a team can give out 4.5 Honestly, the team must see OH2 as a weak spot if they are looking at starting colt My guess is that rosey and colt play even number of sets this year with whoever being the hot hand getting the start along side stign
