I agree completely. 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.... 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. I guess we will have to agree to disagree. I'm a firm believer in good sportsmanship. In that 2nd set we had a 15 point lead (18-3) and Wade still had all his starters in. I don't care if it's early in the season and he wants to get his starters more reps or whatever...it's disrespectful to the other team to keep your starters in when your smashing your opponent like that....He should've have subbed a few starters out IMHO

Question: is Humler being trained as an OH or OPP? With Rado and Dimi coming in next year. I would hate to see all that talent on the bench. Hope they got Humler training for both positions for next season.

anyone know what colton's statline was the first two sets. i remember it was ok but not good as the first night. i was surprised he didn't get subbed out which means charlie must think colton is the key for us to winning a title this year.

We need Humler on the left next season. Unless Devon Johnson can turn into a star, we will have no size on the left next season with only Cowell and Anastasiaades and only 6-3 Chaz Galloway coming in.
Wade may be doing like he did with SVT. Play Humler at OPP this season with the glut of OHs and then move Filip to OH next season. Another option is to see if Dmimtris Mouchlias is open to moving to left. If Dimi have not problem with that move, then keep Humler at OPP and work Dimi in at left.

Colton belongs on the floor at all times, his passing is the glue. I am glad he will be back next season. Next season It will be a real battle for the third pin starting spot between Humler and Dimi, not a bad problem to have.

Cowell is a pleasant surprise this season, as well as Rado. Perhaps could be due to the faster offense this year.

Subbing when you're way up is an old school sign of respect for the game, and if your starters undertsand that, you have gone a long way to better sportsmanship, which has a great impact on team chemistry. The coach sets the tone for culture. The idea of keeping starters in at 18-3 to get reps is not valid. You get your reps in practice at that point, because practice reps will be higher quality than game reps against a severely weaker opponent. The other benefit is that the subs who see the court will get a shot of adreniline that will show in future practices, which can only help your starters during their pending three week layoff from actual games.

Question: is Humler being trained as an OH or OPP? I know its been mentioned numerous times that Humler is capable of playing both outside hitter positions Not sure at what level though...he looked good at opposite, for the few points he played this weekend.

Rosenmeier is a class act all the way...although deep down is probably bummed about not starting his senior season...he is very supportive of Colton and has always done what's best for the team...Rosey has been in this position before and has produced whenever called upon and I'm sure he'll continue to do the same
I would not be surprised to see Rosey and Colton split duties on the outside this season as I'm sure there will be matches where Colton will struggle when the Warriors play against bigger teams and blocks...
As in case with most men's volleyball teams, due to the lack of opportunities, all teams are stacked with talent and there will be plenty teams that will have talented players on the bench, it is great to see the chemistry that the Warriors have and the support they have for each other...they are all in it for the same goal and to have the best team out on the floor

The Warriors have started off this season really strong and super impressive. My concern from past seasons is the Warriors have started the season off strong before but tapered off during the season and lost matches they were not suppose to lose. I would be really impressed if the Warriors are able to sustain this level thoughout the season and for sure I would say they are a championship caliber team this year, so I am hoping history does not repeat itself and the Warriors are able to maintain this high level of play.
After saying all last season that Stijn did not look comfortable hitting on the left. After this first weekend Stijn looks a lot more comfortable and was even more devastating on the left this weekend. Considering it was not the toughest competition this weekend, but Stijn still looked a lot more comfortable and fluid in his attacks on the left.
Rado also impressed this weekend and he is one that I hope can sustain and maintain that high level that he played with this weekend. If he can sustain his offensive output and dominance from this weekend the Warriors will be very successful.
Overall great opening weekend for the Warriors. Looking to see how well and dominate they can be against better competition.

Hawaii looks great and they are clearly one of the teams that has found their identity and essential lineup early and hit the ground running.
Congrats and I'm sure fans, the parents and coaches are excited.....and well they should be.

Congrats and I'm sure fans, the parents and coaches are excited.....and well they should be. USC is a very good team. I predict they will vie for the MPSF title. The Brazilian OH is the key to its offense. Watching him play last night, you could tell he is skilled in all phases. Hawai'i last night was just to fast for USC. But USC will not see as fast of an offense with most of the MPSF. Set 2, USC put some defensive pressure on us, which resulted in a close battle. Hawai'i has to tighten up some loose ends like our middles being more consistent. But it's fixable. Imua Bows!!!

Some variation of Pepperdine, BYU, Stanford and UCLA will be the top 4. I’d say USC 5th and then Concordia and GCU are battling for 6th.
