So now that the schedule is out, what are the predictions for the 8 non-conference matches to start the season? I hope we are 8-0 as would anybody but if we are at 5-3 or better, I’d feel pretty good about things going forward. That’s a pretty tough non-conference stretch and we didn’t exactly knock it out of the park last preseason at 3-5. 4 of the 8 matches this fall will be a re-match of 2021 and we went 2-2 in those matches. Thoughts?? I think Hawai'i goes 3-5 again. Pitt, San Diego, UCLA, and USC all have valubable weapons at each position. I think Hawai'i claims victories over Texas A&M, Texas State, and West Virginia. I hope we see Mia starting for A&M just because I like a showdown. Also, think we will win against Texas State and West Virginia for sure.

Is anyone here plugged into the club scene in Hawaii? Really want to be sure there aren’t any recruits that are potential up and comers that could pad up the 2023 class.
I know we converted the last big “middle recruit” but an athletic 6’1”+ local athlete would be a good get to add to another solid middle recruit.
That’s got to be priority I would think? I know someone had mentioned a raw player whom Hawaii was their dream school and I really do think athletes like that have to be seriously considered if they can contribute.
I think the Big West will be a somewhat more attractive Conference to play in if UH, LBSU, UCSB, and SLO have good seasons, so reviving recruiting is going to be important.
Looks like it’s happening for Long Beach (for now) so just need to exceed conference expectations each season.

Also I know Hawaiian native middles are usually pretty undersized but there has to be SOME gems in there. Not even the next Devin but there has to be some studs in there. Seems like everyone is snatching up some quality 23 and 24son the mainland, just wanted to know who is out there. Who are the Gatorade POY candidates for their class?

On the Hawaii women volleyball Instagram, someone named Miliana Sylvester tagged UH. I wonder if we are after her. I believe she is 2024. Looks very athletic and can jump. I think she would be a perfect replacement for Amber.

Looks like Tiffany Westerberg will probably moving back to the MB position. There was a picture posted during today’s media day that showed all the MBs together…….Amber, Kennedi, Anna and Tiffany.
So the OPP position will be a battle between Annika and Brae. OH will be Riley, Chandler and Caylen. I have no idea where Mylana fits into but she could be a setter, MB or an OPP. Maybe Kendra Ham has found a magic potion and will be in the battle of an OH spot but I think it’s fair to say that Westerberg will be a middle this season.

I liked Westerberg in the middle her freshman year when she did appear.

I would like to see Ham pull a MCKenna Ross and go from walk on to playing valuable time. I feel comfortable with Riley and Chandler but in case of injury or in case one of them goes into a major funk, we need another serviceable OH to make sure.
Caylen is a little inexperienced and I’m not sure she is ready. If she can pull an Amber Igiede and surprise everyone, we’ll have 3 OHs pushing each other to play better.

Hmmm maybe, it gives the team depth but it may just be positional pictures. However, if it really is a done deal I hope that means there has been big improvements on someone else’s part at opposite. If Annika can have a breakout season and start healthy the I’m all for whatever helps the team win. Just strange to have Tiff revert back when she was coming into her own on the rightside towards the end of the season I think Byrd plays the early Kendra Koelsch role and becomes a regular blocking sub and setting in that rotation, especially if they end up DSing the opp. I don’t foresee Ham making that big of an improvement but who knows? I do hope we we Caylen get a lot of looks
