Trying to watch as many Hawaii products I can from Hawaii in today’s matches. Utah Tech, Stanford, Oregon State, and other schools with Hawaii players is who I am watching

Really interested in who will be at opposite. Arquette looks good at multiple spots and could make a difference. When is the last time that there were multiple freshman in the starting lineup on opening day? Was it Riley/Amber's freshman year? Was it Leoniak and Ikenaga in the 2021 season? Guess it occurs more often then I can remember

I think we have the offensive firepower to score on SMU. What I don't know if the passing will be there. The team looked lost at times without Riley back there holding things together last year. And we also lost our second best passer in Edmonds. That's my biggest concern, who will step up on SR and Floor Defense.

After the pages and pages of coaching criticism in this thread Ah Mow just served a big cup of sit the F___ down- tonight was a pretty masterful job of coaching. Hopefully this will encourage those people to think a little before they post.

I genuinely don’t think our middles will be that bad the rest of the season
Abandon the slide
Set them here and there to keep the block honest

If Arquette isn’t redshirting I would have liked to see her play opposite, yeah sure I like Tali’s energy but she isn’t giving that much and honestly if we could get more kills at opposite to help Caylen that would be ideal.

But yeah, we've seen Bamis before and know she's capable of better.

Not sure I agree... At all? Tali definitely had less of an impact as the game went on, but she's a consistent spot in the passing line (desperately needed), and was honestly the only Wahine to look like anything at all in Set 1. Factor in that she has had no time to gel with the team and is still jet lagged and I think she's going to be a major player this year. Also if we're gonna discuss backup opposites Tyla looked pretty good. I'd experiment with Caylen/Tali on the outside, Tyla on the Opposite? (Stella makes the best 2nd choice hitter for the team, but is such a liability on defense and passing. If she was 1st choice it would be a different matter). Arquette (if not redshirting and a stable opposite) could allow for continued use of Matias' 6-2.

Stella was great tonight, and we have Victoria to handle the back row play so we’re fine I agree we shouldn’t just axe tali yet. Give her time

Hopefully this will encourage those people to think a little before they post. I think we all agree that Robyn is an excellent coach, and no one is questioning that. But like any great leader, there's always room for improvement, especially in recruiting. Sure, we won against SMU, but let's be real—this is a team we usually sweep. Losing a set 25-7 is definitely not something to be proud of. Just some food for thought. 😄 And....on top of that, four hitters, including both middles, hitting negative? That's concerning. Just being real here....
