Leo did okay for NC State. I don't think any of the outgoing transfers would have beaten out Caylen. Caylen is going to be great for our Bows.

Too bad about Demirtas, always loved her bench energy and felt like her growth was stunted from not being able to join the team early enough. Caylen is a definite upgrade from all 3 and love what she’s done for the Wahine this season and excited to see her growth Surprising but not surprising nothing came out of NC State and all the transfer patchwork that made up the look of that team, oh well

Thought it was Kenyatta Lovelace that coach said Caylen reminds her of? Tbh my memory is foggy recalling the games of a lot of players before Kanani Danielson era

I remember that 2009 match with Michigan, I watched it within the past year or so. I just remember the commentators celebrating the Michigan setter for being such a good setter when they were really messy in the match. They would open hand set the ball in moments when they shouldʻve bumped it, half the time they were sliding on the floor after they set the ball. It was not nice.
Watching the highlights... Danielson is just wow
I remember this team vividly. I also kept doing double takes every time they showed Stephanie Brandt because I would always think it was Kirsten Dunst.

Tbh my memory is foggy recalling the games of a lot of players before Kanani Danielson era Kenyatta had a laser of an arm and she could sky high. Tee had all the shots and she had a smoothness to her attack, it looked effortless. Kee Williams was a bulldozer. She would pound the snot out of the ball. Kanan was the magician, she could beat the block with speed and accuracy. She also incorporated a dink shot that frustrated the defense. And the next hit, she would blast it right past you. Her back row was like a libero. Tee played six rotations as an OH but as a freshman she played MH out of need. Kim was punch one of the one two punch of Willoughby and Kahumoku. Kim was all business on the court. She would be lethal from anywhere. lily K was the Hawaiian who was like a gazelle that could pound the ball to bits. She had a dip then catapult her arm like a cannon. Krystal Attwood had a whip of an arm. Tita played big even though she was short. Her all around skills and heart along with the rest of team mates earned them the championship. before them there were the twins and Lisa Strand in the middle who was a blocking machine, nothing got past her. The setters of old Brown, Palakiko, Cincerova, Boyer... they knew who to set as needed. And D. Collins throughout was the first big time Wahine who truly loved Hawai'i. In those days, she was the prototype.

There have been greats at every program but the energy you get out of a Hawaii home game is simply unmatched. Even by the current B1G teams that may be breaking attendance records. The crowds are just different…

They went to Matias and Alexander It looks like we only have one but who knows if we will lose any to the portal as well. Guess we’ll see. I hope Caylen isn’t homesick.

Homesickness for athletes isn’t as common these days at least for starters. Good players that play usually continue to forge their path away from home. Hellvig would have stayed if not for covid Mia Johnson was going back to a boyfriend I believe? I guess going home to Texas too lol

I'm sure it's hard to be so far from home but Hawaii takes care of its players. Caylen looks happy, like the rest of the team. And if any of the Covid Juniors weren't coming back, I'm sure they would have been celebrated at Senior night. I don't think any of our players would walk away from that experience.
