2.5 kills and hitting .150 is not a high bar let's be real lol. I'm more worried about our passing which Wagner and Edmonds were statistically best ones and they are gone so..

I do think Victoria will be SOLID for us. Hakas will be ok too. Alexander may be better this year, if she can pass 2.1 ish ill be content. Adrianna might surprise too. My guess at the lineup if Hakas is available OH: Stella (DS Victoria) and Caylen Middles: Mili and Bamis Opp: Arquette **DS hakas if needed.** Setter: Lang Libero: tayli

I have a strong feeling there will be a lot of sad and disappointed Wahine fans at the end of this season. Me, I am trying to state the truth about this year's Wahine Team, that way I will not be sad and disappointed in their performance, this season. It is coming very close to the time for Robyn to go. Hawaii needs to invest in a Head Coach who is willing to put all their time into the Wahine Team, not do it just part time.

Kate Lang stuck it out with the Wahine Team, instead of transferring, which she could have easily done. Robyn should have rewarded Kate for still being a Wahine player, instead of transferring, by surrounding Kate Lang with a lot of weapons to go to. But instead, Robyn did just the opposite, giving Kate Lang very limited weapons, basically handcuffing Kate Lang with hardly any options, at all. Robyn, is that the way you reward a playing for continuing to be a Wahine player.
Robyn is starting to show me that she really does not cared about her players, unless they come from Hawaii. Stella had a wasted year of eligibility last year, just playing in what 12 sets. Robyn should have just redshirted Stella, the way Robyn did with the other player, who is from Hawaii. Thinking, if Stella was from Hawaii, Robyn would have redshirted her, last season. Point in fact. I am starting to see why Paula, transfer out. Paula probably felt she was not going to get a fair shake from Robyn, cause she is not from Hawaii. I am starting to believe that.

Your perspective adds a lot of value for discussion. The landscape of college sports has changed with the rise of NIL and the growing dominance of the P4 conferences. Mid-majors face challenges in competing, but a program like Wahine Volleyball has unique advantages, especially with its rich history and passionate fan base. While Robyn has maintained a certain level of performance, there’s definitely room for improvement in recruiting. I just don't think she has the personality for it. The program needs someone who can really sell the experience of playing in front of thousands of devoted fans and becoming a local celebrity. Leveraging that could help elevate the program back to where it belongs. Completely agree with you but you better be careful making a statement like that on here especially that last sentence or you will get shaite on on here by people like babybacksets, 808empath, koavball, or WahineFan44. You can't have an opinion that differs from theirs or they will call you a jack@ss, idiot, clown or numb nuts on here. According to them there's nothing wrong with the program, it's not slowly losing ground (even though there is empirical evidence that shows that) and no sense ring alarm bells because nothing can be done about it because even other teams like UCLA, USC, etc. are experiencing a downfall of their programs so I guess we should be ok with our program slowly losing ground too according to them... An open forum is all about sharing opinions—just keep it classy, no name-calling or foul language when discussing players or coaches. Everyone's got their own take, and if anyone says otherwise, they might need a little lesson in maturity... grow the hell up, henney!

I'm looking forward to seeing Stella have a breakout season. It’ll be exciting to watch both her and Hakas continue to develop.

What you say goes over and beyond. In addition to the nonsense you spew, every single one of your replies is the exact same thing. Go find another team to be a "fan" of. PLEASE

PLEASE I wish Odin could ban you for harassment. Your insane comments are not welcome. It's one thing to provide constructive criticism, but there is no veiling your hatred for either Coach Rob, Hawai'i-Na Wahine, or both. Either way, no one wants your opinions so find another program to harass. There is no joy in your toxic existence. Your life must suck.

Either way, no one wants your opinions so find another program to harass. There is no joy in your toxic existence. Your life must suck. I have followed the Wahine program from even before Deitre Collins became a Wahine player. Was sad to see Dave Shoji retire. Overjoyed when Robyn Ah Mow was named the new Head Coach, but more so when Coach Ang, was named the Associate Head Coach. But when Coach Ang left, I really started to really analyze Robyn, as the Wahine Head Coach. The most concerning thing that has come into focus is Robyn's inability to recruit outside of Hawaii, or her even wanting to. But more then that, not wanting to travel on recruiting trips. My greatest fear is that, Robyn wants to have a Wahine Team just made up of players from Hawaii. Not only that, but Robyn seems to bend backwards for Hawaii players, not so much for Wahine players that come from outside of Hawaii. In otherwards, give Hawaii players a longer leash, then players that come from outside of Hawaii. The Wahine Team cannot reach the level Dave Shoji had the Wahine Team attain, with just Hawaii players. The Wahine Team needs to be made up of, no less then 80% mainland and foreign players, not the other way around. Dave Shoji knew this. I do not believe Robyn does, but if she does, she is just to lazy to go on recruiting trip to seek out players. It is also, one thing to be able to coach players, but being the Head Coach, there is also the Administrative, and Communication part of it also. Which I have come to realize Robyn is solely lacking. Does not seem to want to improve on. Which is not a good sign. Can really hurt when trying to recruit Mainland, and Foreign players. It will be interesting to see how people think, and feel, after this season is over. Especially, if they do not make the NCAA Tournament, or even worse, do not participate in the BWC Tournament.

Do you actually think there is a chance Hawaii does not make the Big West tournament? That is just crazy talk. Missing the NCAAs would not shock me but I think they have as good a chance as anyone in the BW in making it.

You’re ridiculous! What players from Hawai’i have been given a longer leash than the others during Robyn’s tenure? Ikenaga was the only local product to have significant playing time in recent years and deservedly so. I actually like the direction Robyn is taking with her recent recruiting and it’s more similar to Dave’s approach than you think. Looking at Dave’s last Final Four team, 4 of 7 starters were from Hawai’i. Danielson, Mafua, Cubi-Otineru, and Ka’aihue. Even his last Regional Final team had 5 of 7 local products starting in Granato, Higgins, Manu-Olevao, Kahakai, and Taylor. I think you’re really downplaying the talent in the state. Top teams like Texas, Pitt, and Nebraska, among others, are recruiting the top Hawai’i products. I’m surprised and happy that Robyn was able to get 2 of the top players in the state to stay home for this season and a couple more for next year. I’m looking forward to seeing them all play and progress.

Truth implies some factual basis. What you keep churning out is your opinion which seems to have no root in anything real. Seriously, is there even one person in here who actually likes or supports what you have to say? At this point you should really just stop posting. The only thing your posts could do (because at this point I'm sure pretty much all of the Hawaii fans are sick of reading them) is scare off potential recruits. Hopefully they are smart enough to realize that you are not a true Hawaii fan and just some idiot who pretends to be a Hawaii fan and spews nonsense on this board.
