^^^I think it’s safe to say, certain people are stupid fools and simply do not need to be taken seriously. That being said, is definitely a lot that can be cleaned up, especially connection wise with the middles. I personally thought Matias looked bad and I would like to see Arquette in some capacity. We’ll see as far as that rightside position, as long as it doesn’t hurt us, can prob survive with a relatively neutral arm there but Caylen didn’t look bad swinging rightside so we’ll see if she and Hakas switching might still be the best look. Congrats to the team on being gritty and finding ways to win, it’s still early and I believe in their potential development, but for sure there’s some significant polishing that needs to be done. Also love what I see from Leyva, so excited about that. That part about Caylen possibly moving is something I thought about as well. I'm hardly ever in favor of moving your best hitter but Tali has nay approach and nay step close from the opposite. Moving Caylen could open up the net more and dispel the ro of doom with Stella, Mili and Tali (girl, I cringe.) Right now I say keep Caylen where she is since she's also playing great defense and passing decently. It's a tough decision but it's in Robyn's wheelhouse to I trust that she'll make the adjustments as she sees fit.

It’s nice being positive but you can also be mature about other peoples views even if you don’t agree with it.

There’s a difference between expressing your differing view points and incessantly ragging on the program and coaching staff in an unproductive and trollish way. So please miss me with your fake reprimand

Yea and my thing was more coming from if we HAVE to have Hakas on the court to see if that switch makes for I overall improved and balanced offense but if there is someone on the roster that can come in and give us more then I see no reason to force starts with Tali. We can take a look at others and keep Caylen where she’s at.

Seeing SMU win a game 25-11 vs. San Diego makes me feel better. I guess when they are on they are really on.

Hawaii could have utilized her, sob... Maybe... I've been wondering if her priorities shifted from volleyball. She had to know she was in a good place to start and have a good year with Hawai'i. Yet she left for Miami — where she's role playing from the bench. Not seeing how she helped herself. I have that same thought about that local girl who was a national top 10 recruit out of HS and will be in her third year warming bench this season. If she stayed home, she could have been a multiple time All Conference player and even a potential AA like Amber was. Instead she chose to go to a powerhouse school and get stuck behind other top 10 recruits. She "wasted" a couple of years of productivity and growth by being stuck on the bench. I guess if she is happy, then that's all that matters. I just wondered what it could have been with this girl, Caylen and Amber....all on the same team.

Happiness is all fine and dandy but at the end of the day she went from the next National team opposite, to someone who likely won’t even have a career after college. Texas sells itself well but being an easy mark and jumping on the bandwagon success you did not really help create can’t be good for an athlete’s future.

I was probably going to root against Nebraska but I hope SMU beats them since that would def help Hawaii

So please miss me with your fake reprimand Sweetie, if you want to pull up my initial predictions of last season and look at the outcome of the last season, I could say I was pretty accurate from the start I don’t mind you searching my receipts. I’m sure you can find that the first weekend of last weekend. And don’t be putting in extra BS that you think I have done on this board. You’re just making things up now

Mrs Alexander ATE up the passing better than we thought
Alexander passed very well, a 2.3 on 30 attempts
Ikenaga (32) and Adeyemi (8) both meh 2.0 and Leyva (20) 2.10

Ikenaga was covering the most ground by far though. She had 32 attempts and they weren't targeting her for the first 2/3 of the match.

I truly hope Robyn has a backup plan just in case something should happen to Caylen Alexander. Referring to what happened to Spyros Chakas, of the Men's Volleyball Team. This Wahine Team does not have the backups that, at least, the Men's Volleyball Team, and Charlie Wade, had. God forbid, if anything should happen to Caylen Alexander, it could be the end of the Wahine Team's season.
