for the women's side, it just has to do with there are tons of other better women's collegiate teams that are just simply better than the women's team at UH. if the women's team could replicate the success that the men's side does, then more and more elite high school players would commit to hawaii. Not 100% accurate but close. UH womens were well on their way towards a major uptick but injuries and covid made a big negative impact on the program, likely more than any other team overall in the NCAA. But yes there is a lot more parity in the women’s games and power 5 schools have invested more or less into their facilities more than UH has. Just confirmed at the sistahhood social hosted by the Football program that the Athletic dept secured 2.5 million to fully renovate the weightroom and add a nutrition center. So basically facilities wise....the only thing left to renovate is the locker room. Everything else the program uses Like the training room, academic center, and practice gyms were all fully renovated within the past 5 years. So hopefully more to come.

That’s great news, especially about the nutrition center. You’d be surprised how much that impacts athlete choices. Are those renovations something that would be done by the womens fall season? Would be good for UH to have an IG tour this year.

Would be good for UH to have an IG tour this year. January 2023 as the target date was brought up. So idk if that means that's when they start renovations or when it's finished. But relating to the locker rooms for both volleyball programs. I hope they find the money to update them. The basketball teams got the money to fully gut and renovate both lockerrooms and our volleyball programs deserve the same especially with them having more success than most athletics programs on campus.

Hawaii men’s volleyball sure has evolved. I recall attending games soon after the Stan was built and the arena was near empty. I recall a match against UC Irvine during a time out with a drunk fan screaming Anteaters suck! The whole Anteater team stared up at the inebriated fan and one of the player’s says “ yeah, that’s what Anteaters do!” 😆Good times man.

It's great to see that Hawaii foreign players are making a positive in their own countries.
