Freshman frequently go through a lot their 1st year. Some realize they need to 'step back' and fresh start over. It's not neccesarily that they aren't in a good place, it's they realize it's something they weren't ready for. With that first year (or two or more) of experience under their belt, they get a better idea of where they might be more productive or happier. We've seen it at Hawai'i with our 'out' transfers, and with our 'ins'. Maturity brings enough wisdom not to make excuses or place blame. It's just about growth, and making the best personal decisions in the moment.

Just tuned in the the match. Stella does look good offensively but is kind of disappointing that she get yanked from playing back row. She is going to have to play defense at the next level or she won’t play much. We cannot afford to have a bunch OHs who only play 3 rotations. We already have one freshman 3 rotation player in Caylen. . That makes getting Tali Hakas a must get.
That Skyview kid that is head for Oregon is a stud. Or course, Skyview also have a BYU bound setter so they have two P5 level players there.
Stella with the walk off kill!!!!

She is going to have to play defense at the next level or she won’t play much. We cannot afford to have a 5-10 OH who only play 3 rotations. That makes getting Tali Hakas a must get. That Skyview kid that is head for Oregon is a stud. Or course, Skyview also have a BYU bound setter so they have two P5 level players there. Stella with the walk off kill!!!! I agree about Stella's floor play, needs to level up quick. If Stella's team plays Cathedral Catholic then that will be like a college game for her. Cathedral is stacked with D1 recruits who are 6 feet and taller. I think some of her attacks vs Skyview were against one undersized blocker with a knee brace

I think some of her attacks vs Skyview were against one undersized blocker with a knee brace Yep but she did hit thru and tool a few blocks well so that is a good sign. At 5-10, she is not going to hit over the blocks at the next level so learning to hit smart will be her path to success. I just want her to be a better all around player so it would limit the need to sub her out half the time and eat up substitutions that we could use for certain situations later in matches.

Still trying to see where Stella would fit in next season, pretty sure if Riley returns she will still be one of the 6 ro starters at OH. If we do get Tali then surely she would be starting too as the other OH, but I don't see how you could not have Caylen on the court so hopefully she would either play opposite or OH and have Riley play backrow for her. I don't see Stella starting until 2024, unless we don't get Tali. Stella will be a beast though, and I would like to see her play.

I wanna see Stella develop a sharper cross court shot. I haven't seen that from her yet.

Stella is recruited for the future. 2024, we will lose a ton after 2023 and that is where Stella will probably get most of her PT. There are many possibilities but for 2023, it could be Riley and Tali at OH with Caylen at OPP. Sure, Caylen is a force on the left side now but if she does not improve her passing/defense, it’s hard to keep her at OH……especially when you have someone of the caliber of Hakas coming in. At OPP, Caylen can still hit from the left once and twice from the right so it’s not like Caylen can’t hit from the left.

Idk why we are wasting energy downplaying the potential of future recruits. Figured Caylen would have shut you all up by now.
Not a good look Hawaii fans, not a good look.
Looking forward to Stella, preseason camp and practicing with a team full of vets will be great for her. Whether or not she is ready to start 6 rotations right away is a nonfactor issue to bring up.

As far as my question went, I was not downplaying Stella at all. I was just wondering where she would fit in the lineup. So I am not part of this "Hawaii fans" downplaying recruits. I also was hyped on Caylen before she even started her first match and always wanted her to start and I don't feel any different towards Stella.

Cathedral Catholic looked like a good NCAA D1 team. Tomorrow will be interesting for PLVS; expect they'll lose, question is how big.

Definitely not talking about you trust lol And I feel like Stella will get time off the bench as an offensive boost if Riley, Tali, and Caylen are having off days, unlike this year where there isn’t anyone who can give real relief and Riley gets a kill/error double double smh.
