With 16 regular season games left, good chance Kate may end up at #3

hawaii is in no way getting an at large berth if they fail to win the big west tournament. it makes sense that they rest caylen whenever they can so they can make a run in the big west tournament which is there only chance of making it to the post season. Agreed! The combination of the Pepperdine, UNLV and UCI losses have all but buried that SMU win. They need to win the Big West tournament to get in but I personally think they need to win out to have any kind of momentum going into the post season. Maybe a bad season will spur the coaching staff to hit the transfer portal extra hard

It’s gonna be hard to have any momentum without Caylen healthy. Getting her back to form may not realistically happen until the last 3rd of the season. Fortunately, with a tournament, you only need momentum in the last three matches to at pretend to have had a good season.

I just think it’s going to be tough for UH to get adequate transfers. With so much of the team due to be returning since the team is loaded with freshmen and Sophomores. transfers may hesitate to get into a situation where they could end their careers on the bench. Last year was a great time to get a transfer or two since we had a large graduating class but next year it will be the opposite.
Even with the roster expansion, I don’t have a good feeling about landing impact transfers……unless they have Hawaii ties or we are their dream school or something like that. We might have to get the Jacyn Bamis type or the Morghn Monahan type….which are types that need polishing and additional training. We’re not getting the Jade Demps nor the Whitney Lauenstein type.

She’s asking for $100K in NIL or she’s out. Oh wait, wrong sport.

I don't have any insider info on Caylen. I'm just basing it on Nick's comments, which were specific about how they let her decide, but vague about what the actual problem is.

True that NCSU seems to underperform its talent level, but Leo would easily be our starting Opposite. She puts up a huge block and a powerful swing and her back row defense is still her strength at NCSU. Anyway, she's long gone but I still miss her quirky-cocky on court demeanor. no hunny, you're just a size queen 💅 you go on and keep telling yourself that Tali or Arquette would beat her out at Opposite! 😉

This is a blessing in disguise. Na Wahine has the opportunity to figure out plan B and plan C, which could set the tone for the near future. What is needed is leadership from the young'uns, because Kate and Tayli won't be there next year. It sucks that plan A did not pan out, (transfer out-Paula, 1 freshman decided to go another route, any transfer prospects not panning out, and now possibly not having Caylen), having 13 players is razor thin to begin with, especially with newbies and backup/role players. In the end, you have to make the best out of it and work that much harder and smarter. I am hoping for the best.

for all the criticism of robyn's recruiting efforts ... we're now seeing all 4 of her recruits see significant playing time. and their contributions have been impactful, to say the least ... with the promise that they will be a big part of hawaii's future, not just in this uneven/uncertain season ... but hopefully also long-term down the road.
hoping for caylen's return and that her injury is not too serious. we've already seen what mili and leyva can do. they are solidly in the starting line-up. and i thoroughly enjoyed seeing maddie and adriana get more playing time this weekend, both making the most of the opportunity!

I am loving what I'm seeing from Arquette. She is giving Iosia vibes. You can see her offense pick up after Kate gave her an in system set from a free ball. Arquette's confidence hitting will continue to grow. Her ball control will keep her in the court. I would also like to acknowledge Jackie embracing her new role. It can't be easy seeing a freshman overtake you on the depth chart, but Jackie is finding ways to get on the court. Her excitement and effectiveness whenever she enters the game as a serving sub are the hallmarks of being a good teammate. And while Mili deserved the POG award, I think Kate was a close second. Managing two freshman middles and a freshman pin, being more offensive herself, and projecting calmness even when the team was down in the first set. This team leaves this weekend with a much higher ceiling for when Caylen comes back. And if they can maintain that level of ball control, then they can stay competitive in the Big West. perhaps we see a 6-2 with arquette and matias next year ...

With the exception of the Fullerton match, all other matches left me on the edge of my seat. Nothings a given with these ladies Lol. Really nerve wracking seeing Caylen get injured without a dependable hitter to replace her...we'll need her offense to have a shot in beating the 49ers and the Mustangs. Our service accuracy and transition game needs a ton of work too. Hope to see progress in those areas on this road trip. Let's Go Bows!
