Quick thoughts from limited video:
For an incoming junior, she moves pretty well across the net, mobile, agile, quick feet, decent jump/reach, and decent power behind her shot. I do agree you can't *tell* much off the competition, but she has all the tools to build off of. Lots of potential.
Not every 6'4 16 year old moves like that. In particular her ability to reset in transition was impressive. One highlight, she swung outside, then transitioned to the right on the next play and got a block. Didn't get to see and back row or serving, but upfront, has potential to be formidable presence as an oppo or middle. I'm sure she had some good teams on her radar.
Can't wait to see who else is committing to Hawaii. I believe the graduating class will be a little larger in 2026, so there will be some scholarships to give!

Ugh…I just realize Rachel’s last name is spelled PURSER? We should all be correct in spelling people’s last name. After all, she will be joining our Obama so we owe it to her to get her name right. Sorry Rachel Purser. Rainbowcard…..your fault! 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 Obama? You mean Ohana? Lol.

And from reading what she wrote she just recently started playing volleyball, as she was a basketball athlete prior. I see a ton of upside potential in her. Go 🌈s

I know scholarship allotment almost means nothing nowadays, but the only projected scholarships available are Alexander and Bamis (on paper at least).

Sylvester looks just as tall as her. So cool that the girls are able to connect. I hope this team does something special in the near future.

I'm more worried about 2024-2025 for now. I though we were expecting 3 new players? (That we hadn't heard of yet)
