If Alexander starts and does well this season, I will gladly eat the sh!t out of the words I spewed when watching her more recent highlights I saw that one swing where she executed a wrist away down the line and that was snappy af and I lived for it It sounds like she impressed today! I loved watching this sequence from her haha She got on that ball quickly 😍

Quickies: - The freshman look good. They'll contribute this year. One or both could start. - Igiede doing Igiede things. - Evans dressed, rode the stationary bike, didn't play. Looks like she might begin the year off the bench. - Westerberg ok in the middle, and taking some swings from the pin. Her best swing, one of the best of the day for the team, came as oppo. Likely starts in the middle. But, if Evans eventually finds the court, I can see Westerberg getting time at oppo. - Wagoner very solid in the back row. Front row the block sometimes gets the better of her but she avoided attack errors, looked good. - Edmonds was stronger than in the spring. Ikenaga is solid. Looks to be a competition at libero. - Team passing much stronger than this spring, from everyone. Looks like they've worked on it. - Team defense is strong, and looks to be a strength, and the coaches are emphasizing it. Demanding it. - Annika's defense surprised me on the upside, and she had some nice digs and quick reaction plays. Alexander was better than I expected, still a freshman with ah-shucks moments though. Will be interesting to see what we get from these two. - Setting. Lang likely gets the nod. But there's a competition. Matias looked good. Byrd looked improved. Some version of a 6-2 could be an option, but maybe not right away. - Akana looks strong. Both pins, and plays some middle. Wouldn't be surprised if she gets a start. Or she could surprise if she comes off the bench, shades of Ross. - Cowell looked steady. Wouldn't say she's locked down a starting role. There's competition at the left pin. Might come down to who's the better passer. - Ham likely won't start, but she's a gamer. Won't be surprised if Robyn finds a role for her.
First game, first set lineup? Igiede and Westerberg in the middle, Wagoner at left pin, Lang setting. As for the rest, it's a competition, and set two could be different than set one, and we might see a lot of different lineups in the non-conference.

Love to hear that about Akana, really want to see her hold her open in the backrow more than anything, I feel like confidence there will translate to the front. Tbh at this point I’m all for whatever gets Tiffany, Amber, and Akana on the court at the same time. I want to see the chemistry those 3 have on the court! Any specifics on how Cowell vs Akana compared passing wise?

Any specifics on how Cowell vs Akana compared passing wise? Today's scrimmage wasn't tightly focused on the serve and pass. The coaches were much more focused on getting a ball in play and keeping the women moving, little rest, and lots of transition offense and scrabble play. I think they see this team as having its strength be defense, lots of long rallies, and winning through grit and determination.

I one of the clips, Wagoner looks the same as last year hitting wise. But keeping sample size in mind (and that was very small), I hope to see an improvement in her kill rate cause Hawaii will need that from her

I can hope Stella becomes a Kanani, but Stella does tend to get subbed out for a DS so the comparison is hard to make because Kanani was SO good all around Kanani was an anomaly. A true volleyball player that excelled despite physical limitations. We just don’t see those types of players any more. Stella looks dynamic! Miss Kanani went rita on her hits and her ball control was superb.
