Morioka is in the transfer portal. Someone I know has access and confirmed she entered the portal on Tuesday. Bummers for Hawaii. We are outside the portal window, normally you cannot enter the portal outside the window unless you're a grad transfer (I don't think she is) or your head coach was fired (she wasn't) If she was allowed to enter the portal, she must have gotten an exemption, which means something (likely not good) happened with her situation. (She would have to wait until May 1 if she simply decided UH wasn't for her)

Morioka is in the transfer portal. Someone I know has access and confirmed she entered the portal on Tuesday. Bummers for Hawaii. Too bad. Maybe she didn't feel like she is a fit for the team. Sometimes it's hard for a newcomer to feel like she fits in. Wish she would have given it more time. Jacyn Bamis is very fortunate that she and Caylen meshed. They seem to have formed a strong friendship that will make it easier for Jacyn to adjust to Hawaii. Seen them together a whole bunch of time...including at Wahine basketball games. I think both of them will take Stella under their wings when Stella gets here. Always good to have teammates to help you out. I am also glad to hear / see Jacyn and Caylen bonding, I think with the addition of Stella they will make a close Trio. Amber seems very welcoming also! On a side note: I only asked about Ham because I did not see her in the spring practice either not just the recent photo.

No use keeping someone on your roster if that player is not all in. Maybe better for UH because now we can find someone who really wants to be here. I wonder what happened. I thought this would be a good situation for her. Playing on a post season level team along with being able to play on front of family and friends on all UH’s road trips. Homesick?

On a side note: I only asked about Ham because I did not see her in the spring practice either not just the recent photo. Amber is the best BUT Amber is a senior and sometimes it’s better for players to hook up with people in your class so you can spend not just time on the court but also off the court. Both Caylen and Jaclyn are sophomores so they can even share classes if they choose to. As for Ham, I have no idea. Maybe she injured or have school. I saw her two times at men’s volleyball sitting with Kate Lang and she looked fine.

I hope the missing announcement from Morioka is just a mistake but if Mandi has already decided that UH is not for her already, it would be a big disappointment. I hope she is still on board and maybe something came up that she has to wait until fall to be officially a Wahine. Morioka is in the transfer portal. Someone I know has access and confirmed she entered the portal on Tuesday. Bummers for Hawaii. Ouch, she's transferring already? she had the Hawaii connection and everything. I hope she finds a place where she'll be most happy

I hope she finds a place where she'll be most happy Yeah she must read this board because she had Hawaii volleyball in her ig bio and took it off today lol I bet she just wants to start somewhere and it will probably take a star to pull Tayli from her position. But like someone said maybe just a team vibe, cuz it’s not like she doesn’t know Hawaii well. Oh well we can hopefully get some local walk-on DS in 2024

If true, that’s really unfortunate that she wasn’t confident she could compete for a spot but I know it’s tough being a true Libero/DS within the program under Robyn. She puts a lot more scholarship focus on the other positions.

If you're a walk-on at your previous school you can play immediately without sitting out/needing an exemption. So she was likely a walk-on at Penn State or one here.

The trick to not having to worry about the team is staying away from the Hawaii thread until August. I'm most excited about the incoming freshman.

My thinking is Mandi was not use to the kind of practices the Robyn runs. From what I have been hearing from players, Robyn's practices can be very intense. Only players who truly want to learn and improve are able to handle Robyn's practices.
