True but you would hope Hawaii could draw some top local talent. Nothing is better than when there is a dominant Hawaii born player wearing a Hawaii jersey. There’s a different sense of pride there that attracts even more positive attention for the program. Everyone takes our setting/libero talent for granted locally, but Jaclyn Matias was one of the top local recruits with P5 options who would have a consensus Top 50 recruit if she were 2-3 inches taller more than likely. Who knows? Maybe Ogilvie, Kahahawai, K. Akana will find their way back home one day. You never know. What were Matias’ P5 options?

Who knows? Maybe Ogilvie, Kahahawai, K. Akana will find their way back home one day. You never know. What were Matias’ P5 options? Here is a Hawaii Prep World write up on Jackie. She never mentioned specific schools but did say she got plenty offers both for beach and indoor. I think she will be a very good player by the the time she’s a senior. I like her more than Tufono who went to UCLA. If I was to guess, I would guess the ACC could be Pittsburgh, who recruited the Akeo sisters to go there. For Big 12, maybe a team like Baylor or Texas Tech could have been in the mix. Baylor has local ties on the staff and TTU recruited Tita Akiu from a few year ago. Jackie did get plenty offers so she was pretty highly regarded. It’s not like she was someone without options. I’m sure glad we got her. www.hawaiiprepworld.com/featured/punahou-setter-jaclyn-matias-commits-to-hawaii/

I have come to realize how useless it is talking about “missing out” on local players considering how many, in any state, always had plans to go out of state. Way more interested in looking into different places on the mainland that the program doesn’t normally recruit from. Amber is from Louisiana, Riley is from Ohio, Caylen is from Georgia, Stella is coming from Nebraska, there are a lot of solid players out there and it’s important to keep eyes forward when recruiting. True but you would hope Hawaii could draw some top local talent. Nothing is better than when there is a dominant Hawaii born player wearing a Hawaii jersey. There’s a different sense of pride there that attracts even more positive attention for the program. Have you guys seen what these other P5 schools our offering our kids now? Hell, UH can barely keep up feeding our athletes properly. Most of them opt to leave just like our local football boys do as well. And the same for our local men's volleyball players too.

Hopefully one day she realizes she is one type of player of really turning it around for Hawaii and opts to come home.

Kahahawai already played for Texas this season, so I don't think she can redshirt anymore

i see devin transferring out of texas. she’s not red shirting and appears to be behind parra and skinner. They could move her to OPP. Molly Phillips’ not exactly tearing it up. After Eggelson grad, a OH spot will be up for grab between Skinner, Parra and Kahahawai. If Skinner and Parra win the spots, I can see Elliot moving Devin to see if she can be a RS. I think UH could make a similar move with Alexander. If UH was to land Hakas and Riley comes back, Hawaii could move Caylen to OPP and shore up the OPP position. That would give us firepower at all the pin hitter spots. Hakas is a starter on her country’s national team. She’s not coming here to develop. She is already developed.

Do you know if Kaleo was always following Sylvester? Or was that just recently? EDIT: Never mind, I just saw that it was mentioned before

It’s going to be tough to land her though. She is being recruited by some big time schools. We could be her “dream school” but top notch facilities, big time competition and possible bigger NIL could prevent her from coming here.
Maybe BOH or some local business can help and offer her some NIL to entice her to come.
If Mili comes, our MB positions for the future should be in good hands with her and Madi Way. If we lose out, I still like Way very much and she can be our next potential big time MB.

Now that there’s cold hard cash involved it’s changed the game.
