15. there will be no crossovers from beach to indoor, including Misraje.
Angel Gaskin, however, is playing beach this season.
They are still looking for a setter.
8. These players are contacting Hawaii, not the other way around.

Wish Kyra for joining to fill the big shoes of Akiu! Back-row army skills: #1) digging bullets, #2) pancake digs for tips, #3) deep baseline digs off high roof, #4) quick legs covering digging coat, #5) accurate passing…What else? Both Akino and Gong were good defensive soldiers. In addition to these skills, Gong brought good service spells while Akino did very well in skill #2 & #5. Look forward to Akino-Gong-Kyra defensive SQUAD excels in guarding wahine SEASON-2019 to reach top-16. [ P.S. Hope not to hear the last season excuse, “we lost because our starting player was injured”].

Tita Akui taught me the value of a great libero. I notice most big programs have taller liberos. Of course they still need to be quick and fearless. I think Hanawahine is a good get. Now she can battle it out with Gong and Okino. I definitely would not count out Gong as Libero next season.

Alright, Savich. Time for you to go. There can’t be two psycho-delusional posters.

^ wa. wawa wa wawa wa wa. Yes.

I’d want to see DSs Forbes and Ables given a chance.
I’d want to see Setter Homayun (after an AA BVB season) given a chance.
I’d want to see OH Misraje given a chance.

I love the fact that we are getting LIBEROS to play LIBERO. In the past regime, we may have had to wait a couple years for former prep outside hitters to get up to speed as DI liberos. Akiu, Hanawahine come from “good stock.” They’ve grown up playing club and prep ball trained to play relentless defense and with excellent passing technique. Wherever Hanawahine fell on the Oregon depth chart, she was still apart of arguably one of the deepest defensive units in the country. Based on what I have seen of these players in the past, I would say that Hanawahine would fall somewhere slightly below Akiu and above Okino.

Coach Robyn is not relying on transfers for key players. Just filling gaps without hurting recruiting for future. She has 5 freshmen, 1 soph, 2 juniors, 2 seniors on scholarships. Needs a backup setter. Probably looking for a setter to fill backup. Has a setter and libero coming in 2020. I think she’s doing a great job building for the future

don’t believe that they should rely on transfers for their important players; as many transfers are usually 2nd or 3rd best at their previous school. we need good freshmen to train them for four years. this past year, the only good one year transfer was the libero. the rest were marginal players.

Good transfer; fills a need. Next, a setter transfer.
