Should Reiser start taking more shots and go to the basket whenever she can?

11 and 13. Eye opener thoughts.
2. Kasey is a center type for next season. She scores mostly inside.

kahuna- Myrrah Joseph is the only player who showed up on the road at Long Beach State. And she followed that breakout performance with two decent games at home. Super-funky free-throw delivery.

Samantha Reier is constantly talking to her teammates. Excellent bench presence. The best I’ve seen in years. There are seasons in which everybody is dead quiet. Her return is key.

islandman- Yeah. What the hell am I thinking? Leah Salanoa over Jadynn Alexander.

Regarding a former player having a child and coming back, the situation with that player and Woodfolk is not the same. That other player had family support here in Hawaii so she is able to have her family take care of the kid while she attend school and play basketball.

Mckenna is from Washington state. Her family is there. It would be extremely tough for her to leave her child in WA while attend school and play basketball in Hawaii. Moving the family here just so she can play ball for one more year doesn’t sound like a good use of money. I’m sure Beeman would honor her scholarship if Mckenna decides to finish school at UH and not play basketball.

Its already tough to raise a kid and go to school. It’s even tougher to raise a kid, go to school and play D1 level ball….especially if that player is from out of state.

Kanoa..G
Middap…G
Leah Salanoa..F
Lahni Salanoa..F
Amy Atwell …F

I like this lineup because everyone here have the ability to shoot the 3pters. With Wookfolk gone, our inside game will not be our strong suit. We are going to have to dribble drive, shoot short/midrange jumpers or rely on the trey.

The only player I feel that can go inside with any success would be Myrrah Joseph but I don’t think she will start.

6 Rewers has shown an ability to score a bunch at times and fight for rebounds.

7. Leah Salanoa should be in the starting lineup as she has been for the whole season..
Rangel is a center type for next season But looks like she has to sometimes get back down court faster.

The jury is still out on Lauren Rewers. She was scoreless in her first seven games. I see improvement. I hope the team rallies around this unexpected announcement, and find another gear. So would this be the starting lineup, Kahuna? Please respond with your starting lineup.

G-Tia Kanoa
G-Julissa Tago
F-Amy Atwell
F-Courtney Middap
F-Jadynn Alexander

Lucky for the coach, Rachel Odumu is a team player and didn’t quit. You have a last player on the bench who happens to be the most athletic player on the team. Hawaii will be okay. I have complete faith in Laura Beeman and the coaching staff.
