Some pretty impressive thunder rumbling on the windward side this morning. But I digress. Hawaii just received an oral commit from DJ McInerney, junior setter at Punahou. Yesterday was the first day that juniors could make an oral (lot of places say verbal, the paper’s style is to say oral) Spoke to him this morning. Dad is Danny, aunt is Diana McInerny McKibbin, two cousins currently on the AVP in Riley and Maddison. Strong volleyball DNA. Forgot to mention yesterday […]

Good discussions the past few days so check out the previous threads. Team has moved practice to the arena (yay) today. Pretty miserable in Gym I Tuesday afternoon where my car said it was 109 at 1:30 p.m. But they wanted to run three courts and the arena only has one as it is set up for this week’s matches. UCLA in and getting in an early practice. They were scheduled for Gym I at 1 but may move to […]

Wahine switched practice today. Usually go at 630 on Thursday. Going later this afternoon after most everyone who takes a science is done with lab.

rather than make you go down to the bottom … http://www.avca.org/divisions/division-one-women/poll-8-31-2015/ Helped by its first 3-0 start since 2012, the Hawaii women’s volleyball team moved up a spot to No. 17 in Monday’s AVCA Coaches Top 25, the first poll of the regular season. The Rainbow Wahine were preseason No. 18, the lowest ranking ever in the program’s history prior to the start of play. The poll began in 1982 and Hawaii has been ranked in 469 of the 480 […]

The usual links available all on the UH schedule page http://www.hawaiiathletics.com/schedule.aspx?tab=volleyball2&path=wvball Either late arriving crowd or not going to be that large this afternoon. UH with its same starting lineup.

Have been finding posts in various filters. if you don’t see yours, make sure that you used a valid email address. had one that was missing a few letters out of hawaiiantel.net. Also if you post too quickly after your last post, it triggers a filter, likely that it appears to be an ‘auto’ blast. During a match, I am not really looking at the filters just the posts so there may be delays on clearing comments Shockers win 25-16, […]

Last thread getting a little long so let’s move on to Sunday. One comment that is worth repeating is that the team has voted Manu-Olevao co-captain two years running. That says a lot about how the team feels about her and her leadership. That being said, it was obvious she struggled last night and it usually starts when her serve goes south … or into the net. A lot of pressure on these players that doesn’t exist in any other […]

OSU coach Liskevych expects this to be a good game. Said Wichita State was a good team and agreed they were very unorthodox with their setter blocking middle. no change in lineup for the Wahine Livestats at http://stats.statbroadcast.com/broadcast/?id=98945
