Taylor Landfair. Maybe she enjoyed her time in Hawaii this past spring that she wants to come back and play at the SSC again.  no shade at ALL! But an Alexander/Landfair passing combo would be something I wouldn’t wish on y’all I'd assess Alexander's odds of becoming a reliable 6-rotation player by next fall as being pretty good. Toward the end of this season she'd shown a great deal of backrow improvement defensively and offensively, and passed well enough for stretches she stopped being targeted. |

Confident Hawaii will bring in some solid transfers to bolster the team. *Looks* like everyone has decided to return through the Spring semester at least. Hawaii's second round appearance should help peek the interest of better transfer opportunities than last year.
I think Hawaii is a great spot for mid-lower level Power-5 players who want to make an NCAA title run or Power-5 that are part of NCAA teams but are coming off the bench.
Also a place for non-Power 5 players with talent to upgrade and contribute to a program that is expected to make the NCAAs.
We shall see, looks like the transfer commit announcements are picking up!

When does portal entry close for the first half? I would thinks this week is going to be one of the big ones, with big names entering in… |

Would've been nice to see where everyone is going listed This is just from off the top of my head for the players who are not coming to Hawaii: Uluave - BYU Garcia - Iowa Binney - Texas (walk-on) Rodriguez - Oregon State Honma - Western Oregon Teves - Army West Point Lilo is going to Oregon State as well, and Teves is actually going to LIU Marumoto never announced anything yet, least I can’t find anything |

Seriously, I want to know what RAM, Baxter, and Castello learned collectively this season (e.g., recruiting, lineups, skillsets to teach, drills to abandon, how to harness strengths of certain players) that will help them in the future.
Myself, I learned nothing. But I'm not on the coaching staff.

Wahine fans, forgive me if this is common knowledge but does the name Tuli Tafai mean anything to Wahine Nation?

So, is Hawaii not in the running for any major talent in the transfer portal?

So, is Hawaii not in the running for any major talent in the transfer portal? Unless you follow Kaleo and can see his follows or until koa reveals something, I think we’re just waiting to see if one particular player enters that the staff already has a relationship with from recruiting them out of high school. |

Wonder if Koa knows if there are any plans to bring in an additional coach to work with the front row players. We did well bringing in the local prep talent but we could stand some improvement in recruiting talent out of the portal.
