I believe you can't contact an athlete until the start of their junior year of HS. The offer was there for probably a year and he just an official visit last month. Yes but you can offer. I read players in other sports saying they got offers from certain school at a young age. That works for FB and basketball when there are a lot of scholarships to give out.

Well…Kaumana cannot blame Charlie for “looking for foreign middles”. The offer to become a Warrior was probably there for 2 years and still Kaumana didn’t want to commit. Charlie cannot wait for the very last minute to hold on to scholarship money.for Kaumana and pass on players that could be as good as he is. I hope Kaumana is not knocking Charlie for look out what best for the team. Charlie and UH did every in their power to get him on board and he still didn’t commit. Time to move on. I can see Hazan having the same impact as Dejan and Guilherme and both are/were All American. BTW…the top 4 teams in the country all have at least one “foreign” middles so not sure what the deal with that. He sounds like fine Stanford material.

Looks like Dimi is the front runner for CPOY.

Love the rainbow warriors but how many warriors made the Olympic teams in recent times. I means Micah C, Micah M, the Crabb bros, Tri, Mike Lambert, Shoji bros, McKibbin bros, stein, Fred Robbins, Kevin Wong, just to name the ones off the top of my head, all from Hawai’i who did not attend UH. If you can attend a Stanford go for it. Besides in 5-10 years when dis guys go fo one job and one walks in wit one UH degree and da other comes in wit one Stanford degree, which buggah you goin hire? Mahalo shootz

Mahalo shootz You are right about the amount of Hawaii players (not) playing up at that (Olympic) level. But even then, how many of those olympian/national team players do not have their current professional career fields OUTSIDE of volleyball anyway? Realistically this isn’t the 80s or 90s, if the one Stanford alum has been playing in the olympics for those five years while the UH (or any non-Stanford) grad has already been working and gaining on hands experience in that specific field, I can tell you that one being hired won’t be the one who spent the entire time away playing for the national team. LOL

Mahalo shootz I never asked, never cared where a prospect went to school when I interviewed. All that mattered to me was experience, maturity, wisdom, energy, attitude, curiousity, prior work history, recommendations, salary range, realistic expectations, and could they answer my questions and be present in the moment. If where they went to school is what defines your hire, you're likely going to regret it.

So if a person played on the national team for 10 years came walking in with no experience, no nothing, only a degree from a school, that school wouldn’t matter. You wouldn’t take a Stanford degree over a UH degree?

You wouldn’t take a Stanford degree over a UH degree? With no experience, practically the last thing that would matter is what school they went to ten years ago.

A Stanford degree will get you in the door. It won't get you the job by itself. A UH graduate would have more connections to the community than a Stanford graduate. As for making the Olympic team, Stanford isn't the national powerhouse it once was. Stanford's misguided decision to cancel the program and then rescind the decision did not do them any favors. By contrast, Hawaii has risen to the top.

I’m so tired of seeing the Stanford vs other school degree conversation on this board.
Like it’s honestly one of the most annoying things to bring up and I can’t understand why people on here keep doing it.

Watched Call the Coach today and someone asked him if he preferred fans standing up at every set point and he said he prefers fans standing at match point only. His reason being that you haven’t accomplished anything after winning set point because the match is not over. Charlie being Charlie aye? Same guy asked him to dump the green unis because they’re jinxed. 😆
