Man….I hope the word going around is true. FieldLevel.com reported 5 days ago that Mili has committed to UH, then the post was taken down. Don’t know if it was a premature commitment or FieldLevel.com jumped the gun. Hopefully, it’s true that Mili is coming here and just wants to wait for another time to announce her intention. With Amber graduating, Mili could be a 4 year starter if she chooses to come. Koavball also mentioned that UH recently got a big commit so I’m assuming it’s Mili. I really hope this is true, would lock in our future in the middle after Amber and Tiff with somewhat mini versions of them coming in Mili and Maddie. Likely coaches will go after an experienced transfer middle will come in along with them to ease them into D1 volleyball, since we’ll lose Amber, Tiff, and Kennedi all at once. Tbh it would be a dream if Singletary came along with Devin lol some young firepower is exactly what the program needs, even if they’re not winning every game, seeing a group like that all together against top competition would make for some good pre season games. Thats what I was thinking, we would probably go after a transfer middle in 2024. Starting two freshmen in the middle... I think Mili would be fine but I don't see Maddie there yet. I do think Mili will come home to play, which will be exciting!

AT THE NET: A RAINBOW WAHINE BLOG BY TIFF WELLSBy: Tiff Wells September 25, 2022, ESPN Honolulu Photos by: David CroxfordExcerpt: The target on UH’s back. It grows larger year in and year out once they step into Big West Conference play. The standard of the BWC (and the Western Athletic Conference when UH was a member back in the day) has been Hawai`i and the other teams know that if they want to contend for the regular season title, they must go through the Rainbow Wahine. The Bows came into BWC play as the two-time defending conference champions. But with a sub-.500 record, there was a heightened sense of awareness around the team that this will most likely be a one-bid league represented in the NCAAs. Take care of business. Don’t rely on a committee to hand out an at-large bid. Understanding that a couple of losses during conference play could determine if they are playing in December or watching the NCAAs on television is in the back of their minds as they prepare for each match. UH has looked to focus more on each set within each match rather than the 20-match conference season. The goal at the end of each gameday is to go 1-0. Point scoring runs and the inability to close out sets. Two of the larger factors that hurt the Bows during the non-conference. Against UC Davis on Friday, the Bows showcased the ability to finish sets when things got tight. Tied at 19 in Set 1, UH finished on an 6-3 run. Again at 19-all in Set 3, the Bows closed it out on a 6-2 run. A cliché often used in sports is offense wins games, defense wins championships. And the Rainbow Wahine defense showed out to a tune of nine blocks and 48 digs (13 by Tayli Ikenaga and 11 from Riley Wagoner). UH also held UC Davis to a .131 hitting percentage. UH outblocked UC Davis 9-4, outdug them 48-30 en route to the 3-0 (22-14-21) victory. The first double-double of the season for Wagoner (12 kills, 11 digs) and another 10-plus kill performance for Amber Igiede (10-3-18, .389) led UH offensively. Tiffany Westerberg added 8 kills on a season-high .412 hitting percentage and at the net, recorded a season-high five blocks.

The setter that sets for Stanford is very good in deceiving their opponent. You read setter from UH and setter from Standford, different body languages when they set their team members. Most of time you know where setter from UH is setting, but it's different from setter from Stanford. Maybe UH setter should take notes from Uh men setter, he is very talented indeed. Stanford * My badd, neva mind.

Older people (people my age, yikes, and above) use the * before the correcting word and younger people use the * after the correcting word. I had this convo with my 7th grade son and he had no clue wtf I was talking about! lol

Maybe I’m getting a little recruit-happy but are there any local Defensive specialists/liberos that could challenge Ikenaga & Edmonds right away in 2023? I like what I see from both but it would be nice to see some young blood in that DS rotation that could push the veterans.

LOL i think most people aren’t following Kaleo, they just check that players follower and following (just type his name in the search bar) of whatever player and see if it’s a mutual follow then that’s a good sign for us probably getting that player. It happened with Evans etc.
