Kate Lang will be in da house this weekend. I wonder if she’ll get a lei from the Aunties? Perhaps one of those fancy braided ribbon kind?

Rainbow Wahine volleyball drops in RPI, stands pat in AVCA Top 25 By Cindy Luis 11/18/19 Updated 10:04 a.m. Honolulu Star-Advertiser STAR-ADVERTISER FILE Hawaii’s Norene Iosia served the ball during the second set, Oct. 18, against UC Riverside at the Stan Sheriff Center. vThe Hawaii women’s volleyball team dropped one place to 12 in today’s Ratings Percentage Index. The Hawaii women’s volleyball team remained at No. 18 in today’s American Volleyball Coaches Association Top 25 while dropping one place to 12 in today’s Ratings Percentage Index, the computer-generated computer system used by the NCAA to rate strength of schedule and seed the postseason tournament. The Rainbow Wahine (22-3, 12-2 Big West) are coming off a bye week and conclude the regular season with conference matches against Cal State Northridge (12-15, 7-8) on Thursday and Long Beach State (12-15, 9-6) on Friday at the Stan Sheriff Center. Should Hawaii win out, the Wahine will claim the Big West title outright, their first since 2016. Cal Poly, Hawaii’s closest competitor in the standings, lost to Long Beach State last week, dropping the Mustangs (18-8, 11-3) a full game behind the Wahine. The NCAA traditionally has awarded teams with an RPI of 1 to 16 hosting duties for the first and second rounds of the tournament. Hawaii has not hosted a subregional since 2013. Selection Sunday is Dec. 1. In today’s poll, the top four remained the same led by Texas (19-2, 51 first-place votes). No. 2 Pitt (26-1) received 11 votes, No. 3 Baylor (21-1) one vote and No. 4 Stanford (20-4) one vote. Hawaii is 4-1 against teams mentioned in the poll. The Wahine lost to Baylor but have wins over No. 10 Washington and No. 20 San Diego, as well as wins over UCLA — the Bruins outside the Top 25 at 27th with 48 points — and Missouri — the Tigers at 29th with 34 points. Baylor has been at 1 in the RPI since the first rating was released Oct. 7. The RPI is based on a team’s won-loss record, the record of its opponents and the record of its opponents’ opponents. There is a bonus for defeating teams in the Top 50. Hawaii has victories over Washington (RPI 10), Missouri (18), UCLA (23), San Diego (26) and Cal Poly (36), and two over UC Santa Barbara (33).

I’m more interested in what methods Jolie has been put through for recovery. If she hasn’t been using compression bands w/ weighted range of motion then I’m not surprised that it’s taking this long to recover.

Not sure how to addresst this but felt the need to respond to Wahinefan from previous page. Thought I was replaing directly to WF's post but it ended up on this page. WF: 'm sure you are aware of the Health Information Privacy Act (HIPA). Unless an athlete says its OK to give out information, it's illegal to do so. What is reported is what legally can be, which usually is Not Cleared to Practice. Not Cleared to Play, etc. What we have reported is something that is a general observation, as in still in a walking boot. Not sure why you think I'm not at practices. I am.They had a bye week last week and fewer practices. They were off Saturday-Sunday.. Two of last week's stories revolved around NLIs. That was the news of the week. There also was a wrapup of the bye week hading into this week's final regular-season matches. Much of the time the Rasmussen situation has been addressed on my blog because there is nothing new. It has been mentioned numerous times she continues not to be cleared to practice. Every home match it is mentioned she is on the bench and not participating in warmups. Still in a walking boot, etc. Not sure if you are reading the paper daily or if you read my blog or where else you get Wahine VB info. This team gets the most coverage of any women's volleyball team in the country from newspapers, radio and TIV Ah Mow continues to say "when she's ready, she's ready" I have continually written that. When there is something new it will be. Brian McInnis does a great job with extra coverage for Hawaii Warrior World which is new this season for the Star-Advertiser. Our roles are different and that includes him doing more videos than I do. Don't know what you mean about covering it "like it's supposed to be covered." Our coverage has not changed over the years when it comes to the print edition. That remains extensive, but it has become better on the social media side. Aloha CL

Aloha CL Thanks Cindy for all the work you do. The majority of Hawai'i fans appreciate the work you do. It's sad that you feel you need to explain yourself. Wahinefan is honestly a nobody when it comes to our fan base here and has constantly bad mouthed the media coverage as well as the athletic department at UH, along with other bonehead stuff that he has said. You do an awesome job covering the Wahine program and again there is no need for you to have to explain yourself.

It gets tiring reading the berating comments about Cindy & the athletics department. I have him/her blocked, but when some of you quote his posts I end up reading the nonsense that he/she writes. 😵😩😣

Aloha CL Lol Cindy you should never ever EVER feel the need to respond to wahinefan ever. He/She is a poor unfortunate troll and what’s even more unfortunate is the fact that they were able to lock in a great Volleytalk handle/username but continues to remain one of the worst excuses of a Wahine Volleyball Fan on this message board. Thank you so much for everything you do, you were the source of so much happiness for many of us with the content you put out, especially in the beginning of the season. Continue doing what you are doing! All that being said, I think it’s well past time to petition to ban wahinefan for life and auction off their username to someone more deserving 😂

Blocked that poster a long time ago. The only time I see comments of this poster is when they are quoted or unfortunately, in a situation like this. I second the poster that suggested a life time ban. The multiple daily posts are usually rubbish and sometimes down right mean spirited, suggesting a personality disorder that this board and dedicated fans does not need to be subjected to.

To those who are not aware of wahinefan's history with Cindy Luis, this entity used to troll Cindy's blog with his needy, attention-seeking posts and using multiple personalities to post. One personality was named "Steve." Later on it became "Laura." When other posters began noticing the similarity in posting style, this entity claimed that "Steve" and "Laura" were siblings! It was later found out that it was just one demented person, and after some occurrences that I cannot fully remember now, but may or may not have involved threatening Cindy, he was banned from Cindy's blog.
So every opportunity it gets, it takes a not so subtle dig at Cindy.

Lol im having visions of fans “accidentally” dropping leis and gift cards in front of Lang, running off as she tries to return it and saying “Gee I sure hope that setting recruit that was here tonight enrolls in the Spring” 😂😂😂

Aloha. Thank you all for the kind words and support. To get this out of the way. I cannot ban posters on my blog The powers that be make that decision after looking into the history of comments. Freedom of Speech and Freedom of the Press are both important. All we've ever asked is for civility and good taste. I wouldn't advocate for anyone getting banned from any site unless it borders on libel or personal threat. I welcome critiques of my work. Helps me be better. As for giving Lang anything, she's already signed and no longer considered a recruit. Much different from when Klineman was in the arena a number of years ago. Not advocating that people do bring things for her. Maybe welcome signs would be appropriate. But it is senior night so perhaps the focus should be on that. Don't believe Lang is enrolling in spring. Neither she nor her HS coach mentioned anything like that. And thank you to VolleyTalk for the work in support of volleyball. Mahalo again. CL
