My how times have changed in that we are now talking about modeling our beloved team after an SEC team - Arkansas of all teams...so sad... Did you watch them play this past season? Lol I really don’t think people did, there is literally nothing wrong with modeling after last seasons’s Arkansas team. They were one of the most competitive teams in the Nation last season.

We had a 5-player freshmen class come in, with two 2025s commits and a 20206 commit. There's still life in the Wahine program. This might just be a year that things didn't come together on the transfer portal end. It's not like we had a ton of scholarships to give. I know Chalei Reid is one 2025 commit, who is the other one? With Kate Lang the only player to use up her availability, at the end of the 2024 season, that will leave Robyn with no additional scholarships to give out. Kahea Moriwaki for 2025 We don’t yet know if Reid reclassified to 2024 yet but guess we’ll find out soon

I hope when the 2024 Wahine Roster comes out, it has Caylen Alexander's correct height. No way is this girl 6'0, she is either 6'1, or more close to 6'2. When she was standing next to Amber Igiede, last year, she was about the same height as Amber, if not a little taller. In fact Caylen Alexander was closer to Kennedi Evan's height. Caylen's Afro puff made her look as tall as those middles. I think she's a legit 6 footer

Because of Caylen's Afro puff, I just looked at the top of her forehead, to compare heights.

There’s always the hope that Tyla Reese Mane have stepped up and is an option for OPP. If that is the case, we should be OK since Tali and Caylen have experience at OH and OPP. Mane had terrible stats at a low level program. We can only hope, but I don't think she's the next Kendra Ham.

Yea I don’t think Mane is a serious option at Opp, rather someone who wanted to be a Wahine and gives some depth to practice scrimmages

I guess if Robyn goes after a Bulgarian, my guess is it would be Veronika Petrova. She is not upper elite level player like those from the U18 team but the advantage of going after Petrova is her boyfriend is on the men’s team so less likely to get homesick and bail. We’ve had too much European girls bail before completing their eligibility. DeGoede, Demirtas, Leoniak and Guersching. That a lot of wasted effort and energy getting these girls here and then they can’t make it work. I think Petrova has potential. Maybe the BW is the level for her.

Anyone see Bailey Nakanelua gave a verbal to Ohio State? What's the outlook on her? Is she someone Hawaii was going after?

LOL please be serious If we’re not going to go after an upper elite player then I don’t see the pointb going after a foreign player at all. Especially for something as fleeting as “boyfriend ties”. I know everyone is very defeated as am I after this recruiting summer but that doesn’t mean we continue to lower standards from here. Demirtas, Leoniak and DeGoede were all rather weak recruits, with Coach Ang involved btw, and had little to no real involvement with their respective country’s national teams. I think the staff should focus on the highest level of foreign talent they can convince and if there are none, focus on solid high ceiling recruits like Alexander was and hopefully Purser will be.

I said "my how times have changed" what part of that don't you understand? Maybe that last “so sad” part. Nothing sad about emulating an elite 8 team with sub 6’ pin hitters and setter. Not many teams could say that regardless of what conference they came from. They used what they had to their advantage instead crying about what they didn’t have.
