22. mentioned there that Gaskin will help right away.
23-25. haven’t spoken to Hall about it yet.
25. Luyties got her release. Kidd has retired from the sport and is concentrating on school.

Monkhouse was said to have left the UH program. Someone on VT mentioned that she did not get her release so she will be ineligible to play for any other NCAA D1 team right away.

Usually Hall would grant a player her release like he did with Chloe Luyties and Sydney Kidd so Hall not granting Monkhouse her release indicates to me that this was not a friendly parting.

23. What happened with Monkhouse? Did she transfer? I must’ve missed that.

Hope angel is a nice surprise.
Worried about the beach team though losing so many players to graduation and transferring out:/ very sad about Monkhouse. She singlehandedly kept UH in the last match against ucla.

12. etc
Howling sat out some of the early warmups. I forgot to update her status. sorry.

20. height will be a factor with this team.
Re: Illinois match … many of the blocks came early in the match, some on trap sets that were very predictable and easy to block.
As for Burns, she has not passed her testing which will allow her to fully participate.

Yeah, No. 6, that’s Natasha. I am really glad she is at practice. She will be key this season to generate a middle hitting threat. I just looked at the box score of the NCAA 1st round match against Illinois and Natasha was credited with 13 kills. Emily Maglio led with 18 kills, followed by Granato with 15. The Wahine out-hit the Illini 74 kills to 53, but was out-blocked by the Illini 4-10. Improved blocking might be the key to success this season.

Kahuna, I looked at the video and yes, I see Sophia practicing, but I did not see Natasha Burns.
