Rosey just literally made me LOL…spit out my water kine.
He was referring to how he sticks out because he’s 6’5″ and most Hawaiians are less than 5’5″. Funniest thing I’ve heard in these post match interviews.

Blanks Elite: Yeah.

Blanks Elite: There are lovelies everywhere (as little people), for the unsure–HI. Kauai/Oahu/Molokai/Maui is not covered by lava rocks. Find your place!

In the exhibition match, Shin/Hertzog lead 8-2 in the 3rd set
UH wins the duel as Taylor/Schuct take Court 2
No. 5 Hawaii dominates No. 6 Arizona and is up 4-0. Team could definitely be a contender.
My thoughts on the order of the flights… I have a feeling No. 1, No. 2, and No. 3 are all interchangeable. However, I think Hall will keep Taylor/Schucht and Maglio/Weaver at No.2/3 because they could dominate their flights. After all we’re talking about two All-Americans (Taylor and Maglio) that were part of No. 1 pairs before.
Obviously Martin/Tucker are more than worth of a No. 1 flight, but is that USC pair still active? I believe Pepperdine’s No. 1 is also dominate. So maybe Hall is kind of “sacrificing” flight 1, for guaranteed wins at flight No. 2/3.
81. Nope if that was the case he would have martin/tucker at 2 or 3 instead!
Claes/Hughes from USC are seniors now. I hope someone can finally stop them.
I would love to see Hughes/Claes get taken down this year, but they are just so dang good. I hate seeing them win, but excited to know they are both Americans and will more than likely be in Tokyo winning gold.
All the schools have excellent #1 pairs, so there is the talent to do so, but I just don’t see it happening. So happy they are seniors.
Claes/hughes are good but doubt they win gold in Tokyo.
