If Pat comes back, he will have the chance to be the first player in the history of the BW men’s volleyball to be a 4 time all conference player. One good reason for Pat to come back. His name will forever be in the record book. Nobody will erase his name from the record book. Being the first is there forever. TBH, I want all four seniors to come back lol. Sigh.... still stings.

Rado Parapunov, fellow seniors have unfinished business with Hawaii men’s volleyball team
By Stephen Tsai
CINDY ELLEN RUSSELL / CRUSSELL@STARADVERTISER.COM Hawaii head coach Charlie Wade would find next season much easier if opposite Rado Parapunov returns in 2021. Although details have not been finalized, Hawaii head coach Charlie Wade expects this year’s four seniors — including All-America opposite Rado Parapunov — to return for the 2021 men’s volleyball season. “That’s the intention,” Wade said. “And I think at this point, everybody is hopeful it can happen.” In March, the NCAA’s Division I Council approved a measure for spring-sport athletes to extend their eligibility and ease the scholarship limits to allow current seniors to return for the 2020-21 academic year. Men’s volleyball teams are limited to spreading the financial equivalent of 4.5 scholarships among their players. The new rule allows seniors getting up to the amount they currently receive without it counting against next season’s 4.5 cap. “We’re in the process of moving everything from theoretical — I think we now know more about what the operating procedure is going to be — and move into the actual, get it all inked. I would say, at this point, we’re hopeful that we’ll be able to work it out.” Wade indicated the lockdown of professional volleyball leagues, especially in Europe, has made returning to school a more practical option. Wade said: “They look at it as, ‘I’m already going to school. If I’m ever going to get a master’s or another minor or more education, let’s do it now.’ It makes sense. It’s not like this (lockdown) happened independently of what professional sports all over the world are doing. The revenue piece for professional leagues all over the world is real. They’re not rolling in cash. Do (recent graduates) have opportunities? Yeah. But everything is on hold for everybody.” Returning seniors also will have to adjust their academic situations. “There’s the academic progress,” Wade said. “Are you going to get a master’s? Then you have to work on getting into grad school. If you’re going to come back and work on classes to get a minor, then how many units is that going to take? Is there a Title IX piece we have to work on? I think most of the information to those questions have been revealed. Now it’s getting down to each specific person. Here’s what your situation is.” Parapunov, who is in UH’s Shidler College of Business, is set to earn a bachelor’s degree in marketing in May. Shidler offers a one-year graduate program. As a junior in 2019, Parapunov was named to the AVCA All-America first team. Last week, Parapunov was named the Big West Conference’s Player of the Year. The Rainbow Warriors were 15-1 when the rest of the 2020 season was canceled because of the COVID-19 pandemic. Outside hitter Colton Cowell, middle blocker Patrick Gasman and serving specialist James Anastassiades also are seniors. Cowell and Gasman are expected to return as starters while Anastassiades is a possibility to rejoin as a player or manager. If things go according to plan, Wade said, “I look at it as the incoming guys having a chance to play with one of the best players ever. And just the overall. If you were able to bring all those guys back, that’s an impressive group of athletes to have in the gym. The sheer numbers, we’ve never operated like that. You’ll have two courts of six-on-six of a very high level going on every day.”

The schedule for Hawaii will be interesting next year. If all the seniors return, they will have to play against BYU in Provo instead. The home/away schedule will now be reverse, at least with BYU and the Big West teams. Will UCLA be on it? Hawaii will host UCSB and CSUN.

That's a lot of setters on the roster. If JVE returns for his senior campaign there will be 5 on the roster.

Maybe both frosh will redshirt because Thelle/JVE comes back as a soph still and Sheward as a frosh with the NCAA granting the extra year of eligibility. By all means if they're happy here and this is where they want to be... The more the merrier!

That's a lot of setters on the roster. If JVE returns for his senior campaign there will be 5 on the roster. Gage Worsley said in their Out of System podcast that there will be five setters next season. If all seniors return next season, there will be over 30 players. He said that’s insane! They don’t even have enough lockers (18 only) for that many players and don’t know how they can practice with 30-35 players. I agree. It would be a very crowded practice gym! New setters will have to establish connections with the returning hitters. It’s going to be interesting what will happen.

I don't think the seniors will return. Degrees in hand. Ready to move on. Money will be an issue. Many grad students can get their master's degree funded by graduate assistantships, fellowships, and the like, depending on the school.
Look at the beach volleyball program. Granted, they have slightly more scholarships to give and I don't think any of the senior girls are returning.

JVE is currently a redshirt junior, I think he'll stick it out for this upcoming year but after that I think he's done. That's a lot of setters on the roster.

I'd say redshirt all the incoming freshman especially since the current guys have their years given back to them.
