During the Call the Coach show, Wade responded to a text question about resumption in recruitment of Israeli players in the near future. After a pause, he said yes and that he is 99% sure that will happen soon. Sounds almost like a confirmation of a recruit

Stephen Tsai: UH sports could still improve fan experience By Stephen Tsai March 28, 2023, Honolulu Star-Advertiser University of Hawaii sporting events are about fun and games. Here are ways to make the games more fun: 1. Those challenges in men’s volleyball are too long for a shishi break for home viewers and too short for those fidgeting in the Stan Sheriff Center. The problem lies with the challenge system. Many times, it is the R2 — down official — who has to review the videos to determine if he made the correct initial call. That makes the R2 the judge and appellate judge. It’s like when I ask the officer: “You sure I was speeding?” After a glare, the officer’s usual response is: “May I see your license, car registration and insurance card?” The reviews are so long and momentum dousing, a player sometimes will plead guilty to deflecting a shot — even if he did not actually make the touch — to resume play quicker. In Italy, a chip is placed in the volleyball to determine if it lands in play. UCLA coach John Speraw is developing a program in which cameras will provide high-pixel shots at key angles. Until those advances become widespread, to hurry things along, just let Spectrum Sports announcers Kanoa Leahey and Chris McLachlin make the ruling. They know the sport, have great knowledge of the rules, and both are wallet guys. As in, they are so honest, if they find your wallet, not only will all your cash be intact, but McLachlin, the nicest guy in sports, probably will add a few bucks. Leahey and McLachlin both usually determine the correct call before the official makes his ruling. 2. It seems from the beginning of time, we’ve been obsessed with time. A stenographer’s words-per-minute. Eminem’s 10.65 syllables per second. DJ Turner II’s 4.26-second 40 at the 2023 NFL Combine. And while home baseball viewers can see Rainbow Warriors pitcher Zach Losey’s fastball hit 95 mph on a television graphic, the velocity numbers are not available to fans in Les Murakami Stadium. Posting the velocities on the scoreboard in center field would be added information for a sport built on numbers. It also would be helpful if the pitch clock, mounted on the first-base side at Murakami Stadium, could be visible to all fans — and right-handed pitchers in the stretch. At UH home basketball games, the fans start counting down when the shot clock reaches eight seconds. UH baseball fans could do the same when the opposing pitcher has 5 seconds left to throw. 3. On a related note, the monitor showing the velocity of volleyball serves in the Sheriff Center needs to be placed a skosh higher. As it is now, it is set beyond one of the end lines. Trouble is, sometimes a good-postured fan will block the view. 4. One day, the rail will be completed, the Pali will be fixed, and the Aloha Stadium scoreboard will be transported and installed at the Ching Complex on the UH campus. But that day is not today, or tomorrow, or next month. For 27 months, UH has waited for the state to fulfill the promise to relocate the scoreboard. Even for non Amazon Prime members, that is a long time for a delivery. The past two football seasons, in-stadium fans have had to cope with a scoreboard that is tucked away in a corner. A camera has been focused on that scoreboard so the game clock can be shown to home viewers. UH needs a new scoreboard, and if it doesn’t get Aloha Stadium’s, it should consider using some of the renovation money to buy its own. It can be a scaled-down scoreboard, with a small video screen. UH does not need a scoreboard to show paddling or hair-waving contests. But it does need one that shows the score and time — and is visible to all fans. Sometimes the best gifts are the ones you buy for yourself.

Ofeck will come in with Tread and Finn so Wade has about 2 years before 99% turns into 100%.

Someone needs to ask about that Polish Kid if he's a 2024 or 2025. He just turned 17 two weeks ago was named the MVP for some tournament and just started following Penn State so I'm pretty sure he wants to play college ball in the US. I wonder if Milan can speak Polish 🤔 www.instagram.com/_wojciechgajek/www.tiktok.com/@wojciechgajek

Wade also alluded to departures after this season of players that are not receiving much if any court time. When the topic of the transfer portal was broached, he said that if a player seeks to transfer, he should consider pursuing it before his junior year or earlier. Wade says he encourages them to seek playing time somewhere else if they’re too far down the depth chart. When I see Marumoto at matches, he does not look happy.

He doesn't play much, but I feel like Hawaii has always been the school he wanted to attend. But if he can get playing time elsewhere he should go. But sometimes it's all about whether they can push the starters enough to get playing time.

Despite success against UCSB, Hawaii is taking nothing for granted By Jason Kaneshiro 3/31/23, Honolulu Star-Advertiser JAMM AQUINO / JAQUINO@ST ARADVERTISER.COM / 2022 Jack Walmer backed up Hawaii setter Jakob Thelle last season before moving on to UC Santa Barbara. ANDREW LEE / SPECIAL TO THE STAR-ADVERTISER / 2022 Former Punahou standout Ryan Wilcox has been one of UC Santa Barbara’s best players, but he has never beaten Hawaii.The numbers and recent history heavily favor Hawaii entering this weekend’s men’s volleyball series at UC Santa Barbara. The Rainbow Warriors have won the past 13 meetings between the programs dating back to 2017, and lead the nation with 13.29 kills per set while ranking second with a .369 hitting percentage. UCSB, meanwhile, ranks last in the Big West in both categories with 11.24 kills per set on .245 hitting in a 5-13 season (1-4 in conference play) to date. All of which means little to UH coach Charlie Wade. “They’re a lot better than their record and they have a lot of good players and I thought the entire year they’re going to play their best volleyball when we walk in the gym,” Wade said Thursday. Wade noted that the Gauchos have pushed Big West leader UC Irvine and Long Beach State to five sets in recent weeks “and they’re playing a lot better, no doubt. They’ve got enough talent to beat anybody.” The Warriors (20-2, 3-1 Big West) — back at No. 1 in the NVA /AVCA coaches poll after a week at No. 2 — will look to continue their success on the road this season when they face UC Santa Barbara today and Saturday at Rob Gymnasium on the UCSB campus. The Warriors are 7-0 on the continent this season and practiced in Rob Gym on Thursday, giving them a chance to get a feel for the cozy dimensions of the auxiliary gym. “We played there in November for that specific reason,” Wade said of UH’s fall exhibition tour in Southern California, “because it is unique and it’s been a couple years.” Following last weekend’s series sweep at Cal State Northridge, the Warriors had a couple of days in Manoa, then turned around for their final road trip of the regular season. They enter the week tied with Long Beach State for second place in the Big West race, trailing UC Irvine (14-6, 4-0). The Anteaters face Cal State Northridge this weekend before a visit to SimpliFi Arena at Stan Sheriff Center for a two-match series next week. But UCSB will have the attention of the Warriors for the next two nights, which will include a matchup of the Warriors’ top two setters of last year. UH senior Jakob Thelle enters the week leading nation with 10.62 assists per set, now that he’s played in enough matches to qualify to be listed on the NCAA charts. Thelle is running the nation’s most productive attack and opposite Dimitrios Mouchlias is coming off a .500 hitting performance last week at CSUN with 21 kills and two errors in 38 swings. Outside hitter Chaz Galloway is hitting a league-best .434 with 40 kills against seven errors in UH’s four Big West matches. “I think everybody’s excited to do everything we can to keep improving,” Wade said. “This is a veteran group, they’ve been playing in the postseason for a long time. For us to get into this time of the year, the guys are pretty confident that they know what to do to help our team win.” UCSB setter Jack Walmer spent two seasons in the UH program and backed up Thelle last season. He made two starts in Thelle’s place early last year and served match point in the NCAA final against Long Beach State. Walmer is averaging 9.46 assists in 70 sets now playing a full-time role for the Gauchos. Senior outside hitter Ryan Wilcox’s 218 kills is 84 clear of the Gauchos’ next highest total. Wilcox, a Punahou graduate, averages 3.03 kills per set on .237 hitting and is one of two UCSB players to see action in all 72 sets this season (libero Max Gordon is the other). “He’s literally been their best player, or one of them, since he’s been here,” Wade said. “They set him a lot and he can score in a lot of different ways. He’s got a really good serve, they set him for six rotations and he’s a good player. He’s capable of putting a team on his back.” — Big West men’s volleyballAt Rob Gym; Santa Barbara, Calif.
