She has regressed quite a bit to me. I hope she has a strong senior seasons in high school and club. She has the tools to be really good! There is talk that she could enroll at UH this year. Probably not this fall but could come in mid year and then redshirt, participate in spring ball and then get ready for the 2025-2026 season. She got kicked off her high school team by her high school coach. That same coach might be still there so I’m not sure she wants to go back to Kahuku. I think it’s kinda expected of her to regress a little since she had not play any HS ball last season and only club so far. That would be almost two years of no HS ball. I guess UH and Chalei could look at these past two years as if she went on her LDS mission. She can start working on her conditioning first and can work on improving her skills when she gets to UH. Chalei will be fine once she gets into UH. She will be pushed and will have better teammates around to help her improve. It's not just a little, it's by quite a lot. Her footwork and approach has changed drastically. She used to have a pretty good step close and now she takes all these hesitant and choppy steps. She simply has not been getting to the ball as consistently as she used to. I wouldn't put that all on her club setter either since they've been playing together for a while and is comparable to the setters to played with at Kahuku. Her passing was never a strong suit but it's progressively gotten worse over this club season. The last time I saw her play up to what I thought was her baseline was in January. In my opinion, she needs help with her game now and shouldn't wait to get to Hawaii to get it.

In my opinion, she needs help with her game now and shouldn't wait to get to Hawaii to get it. Is it possible that she is now laser focused on doing class work and graduating early so she can get a head start? Maybe she is not working out as much as she would like due to her desire to enter UH early. Maybe both Robyn and her approach to this situation is to just focus on getting to UH. When she gets there, she can clean up all the messes later but for now…..just work on schooling . It’s very likely she will redshirt so she will have time to clean up. Like I mentioned, just view this situation as similar to a player going on her two year LDS mission. Players on mission doesn’t have much time to work out and play ball. It’s mostly work. This is time to work for Chalei.

Are the Wahine games on ESPN+ on the mainland? for big west conferences matches, yes they've typically been on espn+, b/c big west has partnered with them. there is sometimes one match that doesn't get aired, due to conflicts with a match/game being air for another sport at the hosting school. for the non-conference matches though, it depends on the host school and what provider the school (or their conference) has contracted with.

If Chalei is working toward graduating High School in December 2024, then enter the University of Hawaii for the Spring Semester 2025, she will not have to Redshirt. But if Chalei is attending Summer School, with the idea of Graduating High School at the end of Summer School, then enter UH for the Fall Semester of 2024, then Yes, she should Redshirt.

But right now, she doesn't look D1 in the slightest. I am rooting for her to do well.

But right now, she doesn't look D1 in the slightest. I am rooting for her to do well. I watched 4 or 5 of the matches that "nc92" posted on their YouTube channel and TBH and no offense to the players/family members but that team is not very good considering that it has 2 Div 1 signees and a Div 1 HC. I forget the guys name but when my youngest daughter transitioned from a MH to OH back in her junior year of HS, she worked out with this guy that was training volleyball players at Kalani HS and he really helped her with her foot work and explosiveness. He, along with Tommy Lake, helped her make 2nd team as an OH in her first year playing that position. Chalei should get some coaching from that guy (getting old and can't remember his name or the name of his sports training company) to prepare her for college.

Whoever this Div 1 HC is, should step down as a HC, has no business being a Div 1 HC. Being the HC, with 2 Div 1 signees, of a not so good club team just proves it. If this Div 1 HC cannot coach a club team, with 2 Div 1 signees, just prove it.

Seeing that team in person, I don’t think it makes a difference whether there is a D1 head coach or not, it’s just not that talented of a team and Chalei and Mili do the majority of work so idk if that plays into them struggling to be as consistent as they need to be as often as they need to be.
I don’t know who has the power or ability to do so, but one of these clubs has to start seeking out the best talent in the state and try and get them all on the same team. Idk how centralized any of the major clubs are to the top Hawaii recruits but it seems like talent level is spacing out.

Idk how centralized any of the major clubs are to the top Hawaii recruits but it seems like talent level is spacing out. Agree with your last statement that the talent seems to be more spaced out over different clubs than in the past. Back when my daughters played back in the 90's & 2000's, it seemed like all the best players ended up at ASICS Rainbows, ‘Imi ‘Ike, and OVC. Not even sure if those clubs still even exist...

Idk how centralized any of the major clubs are to the top Hawaii recruits but it seems like talent level is spacing out. Barney Choy runs Mauloa. He has two kids who played or is playing D1 level volleyball. He knows volleyball. I’m not sure if Barney’s goal is to run some kind of juggernaut club team or he is in the business to give kids a chiance to play and improve. We know the other places like Spike and Serve and Outrigger go seek out top talent. Mauloa might be for kids who just want to play the game and learn the game. Why Mili and Chalei chose Mauloa? I have no idea but I’m sure they have their reasons.
