Is there a reason why Hawaii fans in particular have a weird obsession with height? Lol are you all on the shorter side? Because most Hawaii people don't have it lol

Look at you trying to start sh*t with me AGAIN lol A few inches is the difference between having shoes on and not, it’s not like the hitters went from 6’5” to 5’6” on the roster. And let’s just all remember that Demirtas was 6’6”….

Like looking at UCSB, they weren’t necessarily tall but they are extremely athletic. I think we have some pretty good athletes on the roster. I’m looking forward to seeing what they can do.

Though it is hard to deny that many of the elite teams also have a good amount of size. The great yet undersized attacker/blocker is seemingly becoming the outlier instead of the norm. With that being said, I like Hawaii's athleticism despite their lack of height. We will soon find out how they stack up against taller teams.

I would rather have shorter uber athletic hitters that can run a fast offense like UCSB then have bigger slower players like Cal Poly. I guess it depends on what you need to run the offense you want to run. Texas and the Nebraska's of the world can get both, tall and very athletic, but not a whole lot of those growing on mid major tree's.

There is no obsession with height. It’s just something people see and is curious . When I see a football roster and see some guy listed at 320lb and doesn’t look 320lb, I just point it out.
Doesn’t make one obsess with in.
MaxPrep listed her at 6-2. UH listed her at 5-11. That’s a pretty wide gap there. I’m just pointing it out. Doesn’t make me like Maddie less.

Way is 5’11? I thought she and Milo are both 6’2-6’3?

And the fact all the freshmen were two inches shorter than UH's own PR's on their signing is strange to me. That's all.

I think I counted 13? That's barely enough to hold a scrimmage.

Maybe we have some walk-ons.

I've been following the US Volleyball teams on social media since I'm at work when the teams are playing.

I know I was the one that posted that the roster is up! BUT, now I can’t access it. It doesn’t show on the website anymore. Let me know if it works for any of you. Hopefully it’s a sign that it’s really not done yet and they’re trying to finalize some walk-ons? Let’s hope so

I don't think there was any unannounced player on media Day. Maybe one of the poster didn't recognize Victoria Leyva. Maddie Way did transform her body and is no longer skinny and wiry so maybe she was one of those "unrecognizable" players.
