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. Just thinking about how many players we will actually lose and need in 2024 makes my head spin lol least Ikenaga will be a senior in 2024 so I see her being the libero til then.

Exactly and although another freshman lib would be fine as Tayli was solid enough, it would be nice to have some bodies getting the training sooner than later, but idk who is that next defensive star coming out of the islands

I just got a text message to buy tickets for the “big match this weekend at the Walter Pyramid.” I was going to click on the link, then I noticed the text came from the LBSU sports department. It would be great if UH had their act together like that for games at the Stan - it really works (apparently, at least on me).

I'm getting nervous about the Beach match. Wahine have a good shot if they can shut down Chacon and play defense The Beach has talent. The clashes in the middle will be fun to watch. Poly’s gym in 85 degree heat and humidity was a very difficult place to play last week. Things will be very different this weekend with archival Hawai’i coming and the obnoxious Beach fans in their own house. I expect LBSU to show up with their A game. I think we’ll have a much better idea of what this Wahine team is after Saturday night.

The Wahine will definitely be waiting for them, no matter how this weekend's match goes. The pressure is all on LBSU. The Wahine can just play loose, play their game.

Hawaii have TV announcements, radio promotions, newspaper articles, Facebook links and we are on our local news. LBSU don’t have the same amount of media coverage Hawaii is getting. They need the school to do their own promotions most of the time. I doubt the LA Times/local LA news have any story about LBSU and their volleyball matches. UH even have advertisements of future Wahine Volleyball games during football/soccer broadcasts. If you need reminder to buy tickets after being bombarded with Hawaii Wahine volleyball stories leading up to game day, you may need to pay more attention. ;-)

It would be great if UH had their act together like that for games at the Stan - it really works (apparently, at least on me). is it a legit text? ... lol text promotions are a tricky line. people can be weary about the legitimacy of ads/promotions they get on text. i always warn our family elders not to click on anything they get by text. block them too, if they can. even if the text promotion is valid, many folks even find it annoying/invasive. so i would be ok if the uh athletic dept made a conscious choice not to go this route. (plus as brooselee mentioned above, tickets are already pretty heavily promoted, not just directly from uh ... but also from corporate sponsors. the company i work for is a sponsor, and they give out promotional tickets to employees ... it's a drawing, which of course, i have yet to "win" ... lol)

And I didn’t click on the link because I didn’t want to give Long Beach the satisfaction - although I’ll have to go to their website to buy tickets anyway! 😂

Wahine volleyball also are sometimes the lead story on our sport segment on our local news. There is no shortage of coverage for this team.

To add specifics to your point, we have Jason Kaneshiro of the Star-Advertiser covering the Wahine; and Brian McInnis of Spectrum Sports Tiff Wells of ESPN Honolulu (radio) with their coverage. Plus Cindy Luis and her blog. The media relations department is pretty good about posting on Facebook, Instagram and Twitter about game dates/times/tickets. And they're on multiple TV newscasts by Rob DeMello, Alan Hoshida, Kyle Chinen and others.

So we know about the games. Lol
