How would this affect their status in the Big West in terms of success?? Its going to be a young to moderately young conference. A lot of unproven talent in terms of being starters and team leaders. I think what determines whether the regular conference winners, Hawaii and Long Beach, is what type of season Galloway and Olivier has respectively. Along with what the offense around them looks like. Honestly UCSD has a good chance to make a name for themselves and possibly win the conference if they ride the momentum of their Hawaii win into next season with so many starters coming back. UCI can also contend if they figure out what they are doing at the setter position and in the Middle. Sani could be THAT good by the end of his career. If really good pieces get put around him i think they could definitely make some noise. Idk about CSUN. Been going in a less than positive direction but then we can if improvements can be made post covid. Haven’t looked into who what UCSB will look like next year but they graduated most of their leaders too so i imagine they’re just looking for a new team around Wilcox. Makes more sense now. It’ll be interesting to see what the path for UCSB will be but I got money on UCSD if they can realize that they can compete against the top teams and can make a push to break the wall

Agreed! True liberos have been overlooked recently and I felt like it was more Pender’s seniority and energy that was putting him ahead. I’m excited to see UCI bring it this next season. They have the talent, albeit young talent but still a lot of for that team. How would this affect their status in the Big West in terms of success?? my take on the BW next year: 1. UCSD 2. LB 3. UH 4. UCI 5. UCSB 6. CSUN I don't think there will be a lot of space between each of these teams as you go down the list compared to last year.

Keoni definitely has hops! He’s also the grandson of Mike Wilton, longtime UH Men’s volleyball coach. He’s fun to watch, very dynamic.

But isn't Pepperdine a Christian school too? yeah it is, but I think Masters is probably more "Christian". not too sure about it though. maybe volleyball there didn't work out for him.

Good news in Hawaii getting a Libero transfer. The loss of Gage is HUGE. But with Enriques, and his game experience, should make Hawaii’s BR less exploitable on SR. Still a head scratcher for me on Presho though, anyone know what he wants to pursue in UH’s MA program…? In his time at GCU, Avery was never the main libero. He saw some court time, but never was the main guy. Looking at the roster, there isn’t anyone outside Choy and Sheward with any game time experience at Libero, and even at that both barely played last year. Enriques has by far the most game time experience at that position than any other on the current roster. Like I said, the loss of Gage is and will be huge. I think the BR and passing will struggle next year in general, as there also isn’t anyone to replace Cowell either.
