Man... my heart hurts. But thank you all for setting up some conversations already for next year to help take my mind off things. So proud to be a UH fan, and no matter what, this 2023 team - and especially the seniors - is and will forever be legendary. ---- If Hawaii doesn't get any transfers (which I know won't be the case). I'd move Sheward to setter because that's the position that needs the most consistency given the fact four viable players return at hitting positions (Chakas, Galloway, Voss, Nusterer) and Hawaii runs such a complex offense, you'd hate to change things with these four players around for one more year. For libero, I think Hawaii will be fine with Rodriguez, Sears, and Choy vying for the position. koavball said Rodriguez will be hard to keep off the court, so I wouldn't be surprised if he's the libero OR ends up as the OH2 and Chakas goes opposite OR Hawaii runs a three pin hitter offense where everyone just takes a swing on the right with Chakas being the main one on paper (a la Theocharides, Ching, Zimet). The big question mark is who the transfers Hawaii may bring in at setter and opposite. Koa seems to already know some players in the queue. I'd be very hesitant to start a transfer setter (unless they can connect with the returning four and run Hawaii's offense to a T), but a high-tier libero and opposite transfer would be great. And I'm sure some have already reached out. With all due respect, you can tell the current bench/redshirts were not the high-targets the 2024 recruiting class and DEFINITELY the 2025 recruiting will be. Hawaii had to hold out scholarship money for the graduation of the 2023 seniors and the 2024 seniors. I agree depth might be an issue next year... but Wade has things down pat and has been successful despite major waves of player graduating from Van Tilberg/J. Worsley/Solbrig to Rado/Cowell/Gasman/G. Worsley, Thelle/Hogland/Mouchlias, and Sheward/Galloway/Chakas/Voss next year. OK enough from me lol. Sigh. Still sucks  Waiting to see if Oguzhan Oguz is indeed the oppo transfer and who the grad student transfer setter would be |

My 💔 for the guys, but I'm oh so proud of the guys, they made this season so exciting and thrilling to be a Hawaii fan. The future is bright for the program with some highly touted kids coming aboard. To the senior class I wish you all success in your professional volleyball careers and I'll be cheering you all on from my couch in Aiea. 💕😁😘 |

Can you just shut the entire f*** up for once? Do not swear at me. Boy, it must really annoy the hell out of you the fact I post here. LOL! Obviously, I could care less, so go back to your hole on the women’s boards. Your misogynistic BS about the women’s boards is tiring. You’re obviously not a fan of the sport as a whole if you keep going back to that. My issue is that you go out of your way to be a d*ck to other posters and then when someone calls your b*tch*ss out you can’t take it. Epitome of a cockroach poster |

On a side note, anyone know if the 2023 HHSAA Div 1 Boys Volleyball State Championship is televised? Also, is this a first that Punahou isn't a seeded team? http://instagram.com/p/Cr42dpruMJ9 |

Obviously UCLA will be the favorite with every one they got returning. But, where do you see Hawaii ranked to start the year?

I have tremendous respect for womens volleyball and its athletes! It is the fans on those board that I do not care for. They are full of crazies like you. Please do not mistake my non-usage of derogatory language, for me not being able to take “stuff.” Hello?!? I always reply. What I do not do is go around calling people out on their “stuff” and then simply give the person a “like” when they reply back to me. LOL! The only person that cannot take it is you. I feel like we have these conversations over and over, and I get the same blah blah blahs from you, and I give the same answer back… again and again and again … but I get it.. Wahine boards…. crazies… Do me a favor and just go back. Go back to your hole. |

And sure NOW you want to say you have respect for the women’s side but your constant comments berating others for being regular commenters on the more active side of this site reeks of internalized misogyny. That’s your issue to deal with. And the irony of your cockroach ass telling others to go back to their whole is hilarious. These conversations continue to happen because you keep continuing your %*$# talk. Like you literally started off your comments on this thread disparaging someone from starting the new season threads. Who tf does that!!!  A COCKROACH. You can cry all you want but you regularly give examples of who you are and the type of character you possess. My cussing means nothing, if you think that censoring yourself some how makes you any less of a cowardly pos, that’s fine, again, YOUR words prove otherwise. |

I think he was honored during the senior festivities, along with Cole Ketrzynski, Kyle Vom Steeg & JR Norris. So my guess is they all aren't returning. |

Just checked Sheward’s height and he’s 6’2”. Not short at all but could be a blocking liability? Irvine’s setter is 6’0”

Let me make myself clear: I have the utmost respect for the womens game and its athletes. (NOT the majority of their Volleytalk fans.) I have said this over and over again. Like I said, crazy!! You only hear what you want to hear. I say the same old stuff over and over again, you say? DUH! I have maintained the same stance for every one of your incessant arguments over the years. I always have these arguments with you because of YOU. This time your excuse is because “I disparage posters.” I just make an observation/opinion. People are free to state their own opinions. At least I do not cuss my opinion as I am guessing regularly goes down on the Wahine boards. Anything else? Or can I just wait to receive another “like” already? |

Irvine’s setter is 6’0” Idk if he's a blocking liability as in the matches he played setter he did get a bunch of block touches that could have easily turned into running a play. He's no Joe Worsley who played like he was taller than 6'1. I'm not completely sold on Buchanan even though he's got height. He seemed kind of slow in getting his feet to the ball when there was an errant pass. |

Your “opinions” are just you sh*tting on different posters. And that’s your excuse they you’re “sharing your opinions” then this is me sharing mine. Your posts regularly disparage others for no reason other than you feed of drama. You are regularly misogynistic about posters who post on the women’s side, plenty of past evidence of that. I cuss because a pos should know that they are a pos. Disagreements happen on this board all the time, you go out of your way to start sh*t and I’m meeting you with that same energy. Cry all you want about the Wahine thread, it is hands down one of the most entertaining threads on here, we have fun. You are a fun-suck and that’s all you will ever be. And I will absolutely throw a like on your next response and leave it at that. The fact that you publicly admit it gets under your skin is hilarious. Continue being the sh*tty human being that you are and then playing dumb when called out on it. Everyone sees through the BS, no matter how much you try and save face. ✌🏾 ————————- Apologies everyone else on this board for high jacking it with negativity/arguments. I just can’t stand bullying. |
