Mentioned in the 2025 Commits thread, Bows got a commit from Makena Biondi - 6’4” MB. Plays for Agoura HS (California) and Sunshine VBC and has Hawaii connections Her dad is Matt Biondi, 11-time Olympic swimmer, uncle is Stein Metzger, her older brother went to Saint Francis and played for Spike & Serve. Nice! Always exciting to hear recruiting news - especially for next year!

Still 13 athletes? That's wild. That's one way to describe it. I'd go with "puzzling" or "concerning" or both. Also, disappointing. IDK this coaching staff

I can’t find the 2024 roster Strange but the roster is back up. Don't understand what's going on.

A few 2023 season statistical tidbits about Morghn Monahan: - She played in 43 sets spread over 14 matches for HPU, which finished the season 5-19. Not sure why she missed ten matches in October and November but it's possible she was injured and had to sit out. - Her hitting percentage over the course of the season was .203. Her best offensive performance was in the season finale against UH-Hilo when she hit .350 and had 10 kills. - She had just 37 blocks over the course of the season, or 0.860 blocks per set. I do wonder if she is a walk on, a full scholarship player or a partial one(meaning she is assured of one only for this year. If her play warrants one next season, she will get one next year too). I’m guessing Monahan is a replacement for Mailinah. Both Malinah and Morghn are MB/RS so both play the same positions. UH probably gained a little in maturity and experience with Monahan so maybe this could work out for Robyn. I think Monahan is on the roster to help fill holes and maybe be someone who could be a situational player. She provides size and could play when UH need a bigger block at the pin. Until practice starts, we have no idea who have stepped up their games. Who knows, maybe Reece Mane is making noise. I know many doubt that but I’m just saying it’s always a possibility.

I believe she will be on some sort of scholie.

If that is the case, then Robyn must think that she adds value to the team…otherwise, why give someone a scholarship if she is viewed as a roster filler only? This could be situation where the coaches thinks they can coach her up into a good player. A two year “project”…LOL Seems like the coaches are looking for more size in the middle with the addition of Monahan and the commitment of 6-5 Makena Biondi.

Strange but the roster is back up. Don't understand what's going on. Now the roster is down again. WTH is going on? I wouldn't mind it being put up and taken down a dozen more times if the final version listed 14 or 15 players instead of 13.

I'm guessing she would need some support going to UH.

The vendor is responsible for the website build. I'm thinking they are testing the page as it goes live and then tweaking it until it is correct.

Wish they would add social medias or links to email for NIL deals etc
