I wondered if UH pursued him or Oguz pursued UH. Oguz was already at a NAIA level school but UH doesn’t normally go after kids at that level. did they historically go after higher or lower level? UH usually don’t go after transfers period. UH teams have had success with recruiting HS(either in the US or internationally) and developing them over time. We got Taylor Averill from UCI along with that MB West but not too many impact transfers I can remember recently. |

Keoni, Kana'i and Josh Friedman are transfers currently on the roster. We just had Kyler Presho from Stanford and Avery Enriques from Grand Canyon.

I’m taking “impact” transfers, A lot of these kids you mentioned are local kids coming home so no biggie for UH. They get to pay resident tuition and live at home. I’m talking about kid who transfer here and raise the level of play. Averill seems to be the last one. If locals kids want to come home and put in the work, Charlie will try and find room for them all but impact transfers are hard to find. I doubt Charlie offered any of these kids(maybe with the exception of Presho) scholarship money. A lot of these kids probably recruited UH instead of UH recruiting them. Oguz does have some potential IMHO. |

I have to find that episode of Out of System vlog when Gage Worsley told the story of when UH played BYU again in 2021, Kanai Akana went up to BYU and said to his former team something like "You guys ready to lose?" 🤣 |

Oguz does have some potential IMHO. well, i mean, whether they're local or not is a separate thing from being "impactful". wade's not going to just let any local kids on the team, just b/c they want to transfer back home. and an impactful transfer can end up being any player, whether they were a local kid or not ... i get what you're saying though. sure, impactful transfers don't happen all the time, but that's usually the case with most of the top programs, b/c like you mentioned, they're already recruiting at a high level and don't normally have to restock from the transfer portal. but in hawaii's history, transfers are not uncommon either (especially since the transfers below occurred at times when hawaii wasn't necessarily contending for the title or the post-season). in which case, hawaii probably was open to a possible infusion of talent. averill and west were already mentioned. tuileta is probably what you're thinking of as a truly "impactful" transfer. yes, he was a local kid, but his transfer caused some hesitation, especially with the fan base (considering the way he "decommitted" from hawaii might have suggested shutting the door on any kind of return or transfer back). he ended up being an AA here, and was one of the best to don a libero jersey for hawaii. joby ramos was a local kid returning ... transferred from pacific ... and earned the starting role. nick castello was a local kind who came back to us through the junior college route, i believe. reaching back a little further ... i think alfie reft and jake schud were transfers from ucsb ... (i might have the school wrong). and reft earned AA honors. (although, this was the wilton era too ... ) |

Often times international. I believe NAIA school have different admission policies for athletics so it's easier for foreign players to get accepted. I could be wrong on that tho, but I vaguely remember reading up on it somewhere. |

I’m guessing we will land an exceptional transfer setter after Thelle leaves. If we can snag a senior/grad transfer setter with experience. I think we can surprise next year. We have 4 of 7 starters returning. Dimi and Thelle are huge losses but still plenty to work with. Keeping Sheward at libero is the ideal scenario Gives Hawaii 5 solid starters as Nusterer will be a seamless transition to starter IMO. We obviously have a hole at opposite, but realistically it's going to be easier to fill that position with someone currently on the team or an impact transfer. I'm sure the returning pins are eager to earn the *one* pin position that's available and also, there are probably a dozen or so pins inquiring on transferring to UH knowing they could nab a starting spot. With that said, the real concern is setter. Not to *replace* Thelle, but to run the system UH has. It would be a shame to change the offense when you have Chakas, Galloway, and Voss as seniors. Hawaii will need a setter that can set a quick, dynamic offense, that has pin hitters available for the D and BIC as well. That will not be an easy task for any *transfer*. I do think Sheward could be more than serviceable if he has to be the setter in his last season, but like I said, him playing libero and him/Galloway/Chakas passing one more season together would really give the new setter the best opportunity to succeed. |

Is there any truth to our setter recruit entering UH a year early? I heard it on one of the radio talk shows.. I think it was Kanoa’s noon show. |

You essentially have to go summer school this year and next to speed up your studies. I've seen some players enroll one semester early to give them a head start. I guess Tread can enroll in the spring of 2024 instead in the fall of 2024 and get a head start. My guess also that he would "redshirt" the spring and be on the active roster in the fall of 2024 and be the starter for the opener for the 2025 season. If you look at it this way, it actually is one year early so you are right ....it can be done. |

Anyone watching the D1 OIA championship match? Kai Rodriguez will be a good one for the Bows!
JT Todd a little inconsistent. But I noticed everytime he is on TV that happens. His matches not on TV...that young man can ball!
Yewchuk isn't given much sets to really be noticed. But hella tall and can execute with authority with his serve and offense if given the opportunity.

How does a school pull 3 new players that are D1 commits to their school?

I don’t think any other school stands a chance with three D-1 commits on the other side of the net.

I don’t think any other school stands a chance with three D-1 commits on the other side of the net. They lost to Punahou in the championship of the Clash of the West. So it can happen. But Moanalua does have so many complimentary pieces to its lineup that blend so well with the 3 commits. I'm hoping though for an OIA to finally win the State title and take it away from the ILH finally. |
