Thank you for the stats. Makes sense. I still think Tread may push the envelope more than Thelle...and maybe based on the stats...may push the envelope more than Joe too. Lol which I didn't realize. But that's a good thing tbh. Especially with someone like Ofeck and Payne coming in whom have cannons for arms. Just helps open up the pins even more. We shall see. But I like Tread being so young and having all that experience. We certainly got a gold mine with him on board. You're welcome! I think Tread will be a good one too. I enjoyed watching him work it out in the Japan matches and the with the Go Pro footage. Excited for the season! Is he indeed playing in the 24 season (Tread)?. I thought it was mentioned he was going to redshirt? Grant it, it was by another VT poster and not mentioned officially. |

About the Oppo position.....I think out of all the positions on the court that may be our most vulnerable one and the one I worry about the most. Libero pulling up from the rear.
Alaka'i, you've had what amounts to 5 years waiting in the wings for this moment to start. I truly hope you ball out this year and put in your all cause we gonna need production from that side. Both you and Oguz gotta hold the line out there. I believe now Go Bows!

He has been the A-Team setter in practice and in the off season. And was the starting setter on that Japan trip. I think it is safe to say at least for now that Tread won't be Redshirting. But then again, I guess we will find out come January. But I feel he is the one the coaching staff is banking on. |

Joe would set the middles alot in the first set & successfully too, then completely forget about them in later sets. It was a problem. |

Tread is a big hulk of man with his blocking and that will be huge that our previous setters didn't have. |

Tread is a big hulk of man with his blocking and that will be huge that our previous setters didn't have. I don't know. I see him more as tall and lanky than a hulk. Hulk is like Patrick Gasman IMO. Hopefully Tread is an effective blocker because he's not as physically mature as someone like Kauling. I guess you just have to be able to get your arms up and over the net, but considering UCLA basically out physicalled UH in last years finals, it is an area of concern. He does need to fill out, allow his body to mature, and hit the weights as far as I'm concerned. Doesn't mean he couldn't be effective now, but he's a 17year old in a man's sport. It also worries me that someone like Kainoa Wade is striving to do the same thing, enroll early. Volleyball isn't as physical as some other sports like football or even basketball...there is a net between the two teams...but it isn't all finesse either. I do trust Coach Wade to know what's best for these kids and the team. |

Looks like Mandic is leaving Hawaii :-(.. Maybe he found out he wasn’t able to regain his eligibility. That would be too bad. I’m sure he put in the work since he remained here to try and get eligible. |

He can be the Mugsy Bogues of Volleyball. |
