All those UO transfers last season left the sinking ship just in time. Everyone of them transferred to a winning peogram. Of course, BVS, JR and Kyra are here at UH UH is 18-3....Camryn Tastad is at USD and they are 16-5.....Chandler Duff is at USC and they are 12-8. I think the defection from Eugene could continue next season. Those players there deserve better coaching. Hm, wonder if Kyra, Brooke, and Jolie could talk some of the Oregon players into transferring. Wonder if they're on good terms with Nuneviller, Bacon, or Robinson.

Kylie Robinson could blossom under the tutelage of Robyn Ah Mow. She was a top level setter out of HS and took a redshirt year last year and still haven’t shown that much. She needs better coaching.

Yeah this thread is just begging for players from other teams to come save the team. I am a fan of Hawaii but the stigma that comes with being one doesn’t come from no where.

Nothing wrong with transfers. Hawaii has done fine with and without transfers. Every team has utilized transfers to benefit the team, see, e.g., Lexi Sun (Nebraska), Brianna Holman (Nebraska), Cali Thompson (UCLA), Emma Smith (Cal), Lauren Barnes (Wisconsin), Kylie Miller (Minnesota), T'ara Caesar (Florida). (Well, not so much Caesar right now.) Every coach looks at the transfer portal and/or are in double secret probation communication with club coaches. Every fan of every team hopes for top level transfers.
Ah Mow has openly stated the value of transfers. Not only does she look at the transfer portal, but she is in communication with many players who want to transfer to Hawaii. One of the first things she said when she got the job in 2017 was, "We need hitters!" So, she got Angel Gaskin from Maryland.
It's not just volleyball or sports. Employers are constantly on the lookout for better talent, either through private channels or through headhunters. They're always having discussions with employees at other companies. Here in the Silicon Valley, it's the norm. I'm sure it's that way everywhere. I'm not above begging. Employers say, "Please please come join my team!" or "What will it take for you to work for us?" That's begging, my dudes. I've had more than my share of secret lunches and breakfasts with managers and engineers from other companies while I was working as an engineer. We chat about the restaurant, the food, life in the Bay Area, and then they almost always say, "Are you happy where you are?" and regardless of my answer, "Well, we want you to join us. This is what we can offer. [Shares details] I'm sure you'll find that very competitive."
I love transfers. Some of my favorite volleyball players are transfers -- Jolie Rasmussen, Heather Bown, Sarah Mason, Victoria Prince, Stephanie Brandt, Nikki Hubbert, Nalani Yamashiita, Ali Longo. I do NOT care WHY they left their old team. It could be dissatisfaction with playing time, coach conflict, environment, homesickness, etc. It doesn't matter. I'm glad they were miserable enough at their old school to want to come to Hawaii. LOL! The more misery, the better.

WTF happened to our RPI!? 17!? I thought UCLA's win over Stanford was gonna be huge! Maybe that was negated by Baylor's loss....?

Apparently Hawaii doesn't have any scholarships for transfers next season anyway (assuming everyone comes back). Lang gets one, and there's been those rumors of European outside and setter. Its also heresy of course until something surfaces. But at this point with signing day a couple weeks away and given how aggressive the staff has been recruiting (all five freshman had verballed by now last year), it would suggest Hawaii has gone international for the final two recruits.

It will go back up next week, even if we split.

Two horrible RPI teams Hawaii played and their opponents were washes with some upsetting and others being upset. Hawaii will probably bounced back up next week. But this goes to show how bad that UCI loss was... Baylor obviously was an RPI booster. A loss to a Top 50 RPI Cal Poly on the road actually helps in some ways. But the UCI loss is devastating. Hawaii could be Top 7 without it.

Posted two pages back they dropped to #17 and the drop isn't surprising. First, playing Irvine and Fullerton would drop anyones RPI considerably. Second, Baylor's lost didn't hurt us much at all. And finally, Washington and San Diego losing in particular definitely did hurt us. However, if we take care of business this week, we'll propel back up to the #10-13 range.

We might even bounce up with a split just because of UCSB and Cal Poly being so high. The real test will be taking care of UC Davis, UC Riverside on the road, and CSUN and LBSU at home. Unfortunately tho, none of these teams will help Hawaii's RPI. They'll bring it down. So at all costs, Hawaii needs to win out in order to host. Barring a 0-8. 1-7, maybe 2-6 finish, Hawaii is in the NCAAs.

RPI isn't about just one unexpected win picked up by one of hawaii's opponents. just remember that you have to look at who hawaii played (both teams last week had poor win/loss records), but also how hawaii's opponents did (especially from the non-conference part of the schedule). and many of those teams had uneven results this past week, with many of them going 1-1 on the week. (wait for the RPI Futures thread to see what Hawaii's RPI is projected to be by the end of the season.)

Haha I guess I just don't fully understand RPI. Being penalized for winning seems odd, even if the opponents RPI sucks. Is our RPI gonna drop at the end of the season when we play equally awful RPI opponents CSUN and LBSU!?
