I have a feeling we will have the Anna and Hanna show in the coming years. Lol, that's cute. I wouldn't want to make Anna mad, she might drop a big book on my head Why only a big book, should it not be her whole backpack of big books. Just joking.

Ditto, I don't see how you can't give POY to Ruddins at this point. Well, the overly huge fan from another team says otherwise. Maybe they can give her and her the award.

Since its not ideal to have two freshmen setters, I am guessing that we won't know who the second setter is after the season is over and players put their name into the transfer portal. I do hope we land somebody who at least played and is not happy with their current situation. Getting one who warmed bench and didn't see much action will not be what we need.
Is Erin O'Leary itching to play volleyball again???

Wolfgang your typical stereotype in Hawaii. Acted out by Frank D. Whether it’s true or not could be debated. The Japanese, Filipinos, or Portuguese making up most of them. Most people from Hawaii would get this type of humor. Dude, I say I'm not familiar with "Podagee" and you give me a video about Japanese stereotype in Hawaii? LOL! I'm familiar with the various cultural stereotypes in Hawaii. I just wasn't sure what "Podagee" meant other than pidgin "Portuguese." I've never known a derogatory meaning associated with "Podagee." Just to "inject"(wait for it ), that in our hale during hanabada days my older siblings would use the term "Podagee" to describe the men of that culture of being endowed(mahalo for waiting). Took me til I was 14 to actually get the just of it. Never looked at a Portuguese boy the same again(well in the eyes at least ) Never got the opportunity to find out but by my very close friend's accounts and as most urban or taboo stories go..eh hit or miss. Also found out that the term "Podagee" may describe a person of Portuguese culture as very talkative and imho I never got that, since I was the one that was the chatterbox of our posse. Again..hit or miss.

I can't imagine Hawaii going back to a 5-1 offense with amount of hitters UH has... so getting some quality setters is a must. I'd even consider a third setter as a walk on.

So what am I supposed to do this weekend now that there's no Wahine volleyball? Ahhh sigh.... Guess I'll go get a pedicure then and perhaps a massage afterwards. At least no stress to my already hypertensive heart condition. A relaxing weekend will be a nice change for once.

I wonder if Shook stays at Texas after this year with Cabello coming in? Same with McMenniman and Dolonga @ Minnesota with Shaffmaster who is supposed to be the next coming of Samantha Salinger-Swenson. Are there any other programs who will have 3 setters next season with one of the previous 2 more than likely getting edged out for a big time Freshman recruit?

A setter who is worried about getting supplanted by a an in-coming frosh setter and decides to go somewhere else is going to have make that decision in the spring semester, before the frosh setter actually plays a single set.

What are chances that Hawaii is top 16 seed and hosts?

The Wahine RPI could go up next week, even with the Wahine being idle this week. UCLA beat CAL, 3-0, and San Diego beat BYU again, in 5 sets. These two wins will definitely help the Wahine RPI.

The selection committee can look at other factors. A Hawai'i subregional involves more travel and costs. Although Hawai'i could make a case they'd fill up the Stan and that might actually turn a profit for the NCAA in a sub-regional. Something they probably aren't used to.

A setter who is worried about getting supplanted by a an in-coming frosh setter and decides to go somewhere else is going to have make that decision in the spring semester, before the frosh setter actually plays a single set. I would imagine most coaches who know what they’ve recruited let the setter know what’s up beforehand? Like in the case of the Minny setters, I don’t think either of them were big recruits nor even slated to be the #2 when they got the UCLA transfer. The 2 are part of a 6-2 now but the freshman they have coming in is supposed to be a “5-1 setter” or hit when she’s not setting. I figure a 6-2 with Lang and a quality upperclassmen transfer is where this team is headed next year to acclimate Lang into taking the reigns full time in her later years on the off chance she’s not ready to right away. So that’s why I’m looking at setters that played in big name conferences but aren’t big names themselves. Or ones that are big time players (Shook) and just looking for that team to excel with a great setting coach. I mean shoot look at Ashburn from Wisconsin, probably isn’t going to have any chance to run the offense until her junior year. There’s some real quality out there that could find a real home in Hawaii

That UCLA victory kinda helps UCSB as well. UCSB beat both UCLA and San Diego so they were helped by both teams winning. However, they negated those wins by getting swept to Long Beach today, so there RPI will take a big hit....
