Lang’s teammate idiaye no longer has PSU on her bio or on tavs website.
Maybe we can land her with the Lang connection. That would be HUGE

I watched some of the TAV match and Lang looks really solid. Nice hands and good location. Got her hitters a lot of one on one opportunities.

Okay just finished watching the whole thing and Lang is a great get for Robyn. She plays in a 6-2 for club, but I can see her transitioning to a 5-1 pretty well. Her back sets are absolute money and her connection with the middles is really solid. She doesn't seem flashy either. Just a good all around player.

I hope Ohioan Riley Wagoner is fine in tornado land and also hope airports will be operational come late June/early July so that Wagoner can get the hell outta there and make it to Honolulu.

I doubly hope she doesn't make it out of tornado land only to end up in hurricane land. The predictions for the upcoming season sound a little concerning.

Women's Volleyball Adds Senior TransferHONOLULU—University of Hawai'i head women's volleyball coach Robyn Ah Mow announced that setter Bailey Choy is transferring home to play her final season as a Rainbow Wahine. Choy played her first three seasons at Utah. She is the eighth newcomer on the 2019 women's volleyball roster. Choy will join Hawai'i's five incoming freshmen and two transfers from Oregon when practice starts up in August. "We are beyond thrilled to have an athlete of Bailey's caliber join our Rainbow Wahine 'ohana," says Ah Mow. "Bailey is a quick, athletic setter who has the ability to better every touch she makes. She comes to Manoa after completing three standout seasons at Utah where she guided the team to three-consecutive NCAA tournament appearances. Bailey's volleyball IQ, competitive demeanor and experience will add great competition and depth to the setting position immediately." Choy, who is currently completing her undergraduate degree at Utah, is a former local prep standout who will return home to complete her Master's Degree at the University of Hawai'i's Shidler College of Business. Choy has one year of eligibility left. Choy has been the starting setter for the Utes for the past three seasons. In her career, she has started 99 matches while dishing out 3,254 career assists with 860 digs and 47 total blocks. Choy has also recorded 88 career service aces. Last season as a junior, Choy led Utah with 1,096 assists (8.56 per set). She also posted a team-high 48 service aces and 17 double-doubles to go with 325 digs and 14 total blocks. Against Temple (9/8/18), Choy posted a career-high 57 assists. Choy has also excelled in the classroom, twice earning Pac-12 All-Academic second team honors as a sophomore and a junior. A four-year letterwinner at 'Iolani School, Choy earned lots of accolades after her senior season. She was named a Hawaii Fab 15 selection, the Interscholastic League of Honolulu (ILH) Division I Player of the Year and was named the Hawaii Gatorade Player of the Year. As a senior, she recorded 574 assists, 197 digs and 15 service aces, leading the Raiders (17-3) to the Division I state final in 2015. 2019 Women's Volleyball Freshman Signees-Braelyn Akana - 6-0 | OH/OPP/MB | Kamehameha Schools—Kapalama | Hau'ula, O'ahu -Hanna Hellvig - 6-2 | OH | Ållebergs Gymnasium | Lidingö, Stockholm, Sweden -Amber Igiede - 6-3 | MB | St. Michael HS | Baton Rouge, La. -Riley Wagoner - 6-0 | OH | Dublin Coffman HS | Dublin, OH -Tiffany Westerberg - 6-3 | MB | Maple Ridge Secondary School | Maple Ridge, B.C.

So I guess this means Hawaii is staying with the 6-2?

I hope she grew some muscles in Utah. Here is a 2015 photo Cindy Luis & co. used in the Volleyshots blog: Honolulu Star-Advertiser file photo by Dennis Oda I know Utah played at Hawaii once or twice during her tenure, but I honestly don't remember her.

The big question is......will she get jersey #8? She wore that number at Iolani and at Utah. Currently Skyler Williams have that number.
She will help big time. She was not only a very good setter but led the PAC 12 in aces per set her junior year. Had 17 double double in a very good volleyball conference. She was playing against Kahlier Lanier, Willow Johnson, Katherine Plummer, etc...so she wasn’t putting up big numbers against inferior competitions.
If we will continue to run the 6-2, both our setters will be able to score major points behind the service line.
Looking forward to an exciting year.

Would not be shocked if Bailey Choy ends up redshirting, if Norene Iosia stays injury free. Do not believe Robyn will go with a 6-2 this coming season. If there is even a chance Robyn is thinking of going to a 6-2, I can see Norene Iosia transferring. Norene Iosia wants to be the No. 1 setter for the Wahine, playing in a 6-2 will not do that. But having Bailey Choy on the team will definitely push Norene Iosia, like she has not been pushed before to be the No. 1 setter.
