Warriors play NJIT tonight so Humler and Thelle may see court time. I saw Sheward wearing the libero jersey during the BC series, he looks to be the backup for Gage

UH is running a quicker offense this year. The starters need all the reps they can get. We are also chasing a national championship. We cannot afford any slip ups. Yes, I would like to see guys like Humler and Thelle more but they are freshmen and will get their chances next season. The other freshmen(Alakai Todd, Devon Johnson, Cole Hogland, Danny Wong) are probably redshirting so I don't think you will see any of them...barring injury. Humler and Thelle played already even though the matches were exhibition, so they will not be eligible to redshirt. Rosenfeld is probably the 3rd MB while Charlie have the luxury of moving Stijn to OPP and put in Rosey or Humler if Rado struggles. There is sufficient depth for the time being. Setters..Worsley,Thelle, Van Eekeran OH...Cowell, Rosenmeier,Van Tilburg, Humler OPP...Parapunov, Van Tilburg MB...Gasman, Solbrig, Rosenfeld Libero...Gage Worsley/Cowwell?/ I’m surprised that I seldom hear about James Anastassiades to be in the lineup considering he had decent playtime last year. Is he just a main serving specialist? I remember couple seasons ago Hartley was main serving specialist that turned out to be a legit OH option.

One of the reasons people like Austin and Brandon transferred. Our A Team is solid. I just hope the B Team can get in there in blowout matches that allow them in game reps. That's all.

Last night was a prime example of not caring to develop your entire team. You’re killing a team by double digits and you only make two subs in the third set. Additionally, Joe contributes to this situation by basically not setting the guys that subbed in. Didn’t really give them a chance to get in the game or show their stuff. The B squad on the sideline look subdued. These are the matches that they should be getting opportunities. NJIT was playing so poorly that the C-team could have easily beat them. Charlie’s UH team philosophy and Joe’s offense is all about glorifying a few select, favorite players. Come on Charlie and Joe (as the setter and a primary voice in Charlie’s ear), spread the love and give your other teammates a chance.

But I too don't understand why they bring in players and don't give them the sets to see what they can do. Humler was in there what.. the beginning part of set 3 and was set what seemed like 1 time.lol And the boy was wide open most of the time. This has happened for years under Charlie and not limited to only Joe.

In that second set I was screaming at the tv for Wade to sub some players in. To me it was disrespectful to leave all his starters in so long during that drubbing they were giving NJIT....

It could also be that Joe wanted to give him time to get used to being on the court during a match....idk....

To me it was disrespectful to leave all his starters in so long during that drubbing they were giving NJIT.... I'm was actually fine with the substitution situation. This weekend's matches are the only real matches the team will have for the entire month of January. The starters need to get reps in, so I was fine with them leaving them in set 2. When we are talking about substitutions, it's mostly finding playing time for those behind SVT and Rado. Cowell is a new starter, and Worsley needs to work on his connections with the middles, so I would prefer to have him along with Solbrig and Gasman in as much as possible. So, I was also fine with the subs made in set 3 in finding additional offense without SVT and Rado. I will agree with the setting choices. Again, possibly due to it being the first match of the season, but would like to see Worsley involve the middles more. Solbrig is so physical in his attacking that I can see him easily getting 2+ kills per set. Gasman is also good enough to be an offensive threat, so I would like to see a more diverse offense to open up the pins.

We should be fine, a greek god is going to help us stay top 5 for the next 4 years

You guys need to chill. It was the first game of the season, Hawaii only has THREE official matches this month. Wade needs to get his first team reps together before they go offline until the start of next month.
Geez. It's been ONE game people.

Wade went ape%*$# with the bench tonight, subbed in Humler, Van Eekeren, Anastassiades, Thelle, Rosenfeld, and Rosey. Was expecting Sheward to spell Gage but never happened. Gage had himself a solid match. Another easy sweep, This team is fun to watch

Rosey getting benched on his senior season? Surprising...

Nobody wants to get benched their senior year but fair is fair. If Cowell is outplaying Rosey in practice, then Rosey should understand this is a team sport and the best one will start. I’m sure he understands that. He and Colton are beach partners and they are very very good beach players so they have good chemistry between them.
I don’t see any sign of Rosey moping or pouting. He looks to be the ultimate team player and cheers for Colton when he does well.
To tell you how much of a class act Rosey is, he was the one who recruited Humler to UH. Humler could have came in light up practices and cut into Rosey’s PT but he was thinking about improving the program instead of his own PT.
Big props to Brett.
