Surprised no one has posted Malinah Purcell-Telefoni's IG post. She's leaving school and vb. Her profile is private, but Tiff Well's tweeted (X'ed?) it. Wish her the best with what she's going through

Very sad for Malinah but she choose to work on herself and her mental health so that is a big step for someone so young and especially going through all she has. Was looking forward to her progress, but hope she will be okay.
Looking forward to some more recruits in 2026

Her IG post was extremely heavy to read. She is not a failure in any way, shape or form. There are more important things in life... I pray she finds what she needs. Mental health is a real thing... I just hope this thread doesn't become harsh and critical over her decision. Saying this in advance... please be kind you guys. Players read these threads.
Good luck to you Malinah!

I just hope this thread doesn't become harsh and critical over her decision. Saying this in advance... good luck to you Malinah! I truly wish her nothing but the best. Choosing yourself over something you've done for most of your life is hard. But you always gotta do what's best for yourself. Not only maintaining the physical but the mental aspect too. I've struggled with mental health issues so my life. I deactivated my main social media accounts because it's f*ck!n exhausting. My family, friends and close coworkers know that if they need me they can just text. Always be kind, because you never know what someone is going through. đź’•đź’•đź’•

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. Lol she’s 6’5” now?

Her HUDL list her at 6-5 so I'm using that number. I didn't make up the number.

The Roster is up now and it has some players with the ear ? symbol. When you click on that symbol or icon, it has the player pronouncing their name and stating her hometown. Neat

Speaking of Chalei Reid, she posted on her IG a picture of her in the Kahuku uniform with the caption "Guess who's back..." Love it! She is a Red Raider through and through. I hope she has a safe yet successful senior season!

Fall practice is underway. Looks like there won't be any more roster additions. I just hope they can stay healthy.

The late transfer of Paula and Malinah opting out this season have caused some headaches for the coaches so this is probably a “just do with what we have” season. We still have some talent but lack experience and depth. It was possible that there were players in the portal that we could have snagged but maybe the coaches didn’t feel like they were worth the scholarship and will hold those for next season. I don’t think Robyn wants roster fillers on the team so it would have been counterproductive to just offer. Biondi has one scholarship for 2025. Reid has the other. I’m not sure what the situation is with Malinah and whether the coach will hold one open for her or not. If not, think we need one more experienced pin.

The best and aloha thing to do is to NOT put added pressure on these young student-athletes. This season is what it is. No one knows the outcome. Trust the process, and hope for the best. Mental health is important for a long and happy life.
