UCI will be challenged down the stretch this year. The question is will they be healthy. A full-strength UCI with Flexen, D'Arcy, and Henno will be really interesting to watch. |

Let Flexon ride the pine the rest of this year. Ahkil has been so steady on first contact that if D’Arcy is healthy on the right then Ahkil can be the 5th option on offense. Both middles are playing really well and Henno is Henno. |

This team needs to sacrifice the offense from Flexon for Ahkil's passing and defense. |

I don't think any of the UCI/Beach/Haw matches with North/SB/UCSD can be considered a given, especially those matches on the road
with 2 weeks off, really interested to see how Beach plays vs. SD this weekend. SD has been improving. Beach's serve statistics in conference have been tapering off, at least in aces, but they have been applying pressure well with serve.
What Hawaii team shows up this week vs. SB
then can Northridge replicate vs. Irvine. Northridge has had a going for broke serving philosphy. They can put a lot of pressure on.

I was going to say same thing... great to have everyone healthy but Ahkil contributes so much and the team gets better results when he is on the floor. Kniff is always tempted to run with the big horses last year and this year but if Ahkil isn't on teh floor a tteh end of the year after what I have seen I will be sad. I want to see UCI make a run! |

I think Flexen would perform better than D’Arcy on the right, so I’d like to see Henno and Tangatur on the left, with Flexen on the right |
