Thanks for filling in the blanks, USC and Stanford are perennial powerhouses in men's volleyball that have temporarily hit a flat spell, I expect them to bounce back. I hope we can schedule in some tough opponents somewhere after the Stanford rematch and before we face Ball State. BYU and Pepperdine are always tough so its good we face them right before conference play. With LBSU, UCI, and Hawaii returning most of their starting lineup, the Big West should be in the drivers seat again.

Team’s flying to Japan today. Is this sort of every-4-years foreign trip?

The team has started play in Japan. They are doing Instagram live streams of their matches (in phone filming quality). Watched a little bit late last night and it was the usual starters with the exception of G. Worsley at libero and Cowell at outside instead of Rosenmeier. Didn’t watch the whole thing but all I know is that they won. Stream lasts for 24 hours after aired unless taken down earlier if anyone wants to check it out.

3 years in a row wade got a top 5 recruit. 2019 and 2020 recruiting don't look promising at all I'm not too worried about those classes. 2020 still has a lot of top talent still uncommitted and they don't usually start committing until after this upcoming club season and later. After this season we lose, J. Worsley, Rosenmeier, van Tilburg, Solbrig. Thelle will take over for Worsley, Cowell could be an outside along with Humler and we have a lot of young but talented middles on the roster. With our recent history of bringing in international recruits, I wouldn't be surprised to see more coming in those classes.

We will lose a big senior class but I think Humler will ease the lost at OH and Rado will be a senior at OPP. Hopefully, Devon Johnson can improve to where he can contribute. UH could pick up a transfer or two.
Excited about Chaz Galloway. Dude is similar to Austin Matautia in that he is 6-3, with killer hops and a live arm. I’m sure Charlie and company is looking for talent around the world.

They have kid from Greece that is the athlete I am Most excited about maybe in the last decade.

Anytime you lose that much experience, there will be a lot of question marks but with Humler, that Greek kid and Galloway, we should be pretty good at the pin. Danny Wong sounds like he could be a difference maker at MB. I like Cole Hogland’s athleticism but he is kind of short for a MB. Hope he can grow an inch or two by next year so he can play his natural position. Alakai Todd is intriguing but may take a while for him to transition to MB.

The UH hasn't posted the men's VB schedule yet, but here is our OOC schedule gleaned from other team's websites: Jan 11 vs Concordia @ Hawaii Jan 12 vs USC @ Hawaii Feb 1 vs Stanford @ Hawaii Feb 3 vs Stanford @ Hawaii Feb 15 vs Lincoln Memorial University @ Hawaii Feb 17 vs Lincoln Memorial University @ Hawaii Mar 7 vs King @ Hawaii Mar 8 vs Ball State @ Hawaii Mar 9 vs Pepperdine @ Hawaii Mar 21 vs McKendree or BYU @ BYU* Mar 22 vs Princeton @ BYU Mar 23 vs McKendree or BYU @ BYU* * BYU hasn't posted its schedule yet, but got dates from Princeton's schedule. Big West hasn't yet posted its 2019 schedule. Many pukas to fill, maybe we can schedule 2 more MIVA (Loyola, Ohio State)and 2 EIVA (Penn State, George Mason) teams. NJIT is also in the first tournament which Hawaii opens with on Jan 10th. They face McKendree on 21st and the match with BYU is the closer. Just saw that Hawaii will travel to North Carolina and play Queen's University on Feb. 7 & 9. They are in their second year of their program. Do we know where that school in North Carolina ? Have a trip to Raleigh Durham in February and wonder if it’s within a driving distance.
