It’s heart-warming to hear stories of dreams come true from players (Jade, Kendra, and Gianna). Thank you for that including that aspect in your articles, Cindy!

I hope that Kendra realizes how much we all appreciate her even though she doesn’t get to play as often as she (and we) would like.

Watching Kendra’s attitude on the sideline last weekend makes me appreciate her even more than I had from seeing her on the court.

In bocca al lupo, Gianna!

14. Guinasso loves it here. And things will be better once she’s playing sand since she’ll feel like she’s contributing more.

12 Women know what they want. Doesn’t mean women OR men can’t change how they thought they were going to feel.
So: mom thinks it’s a good idea for child to go away. 2 months later, she realizes she didn’t think she’d miss said child so much.
Still thinks it’s a good idea. Still wishes she could see said child more, as she was used to daily when they were living in the same house for 18 years

#11. Thanks Cindy. That is what I was recalling.

#13. Actually, it sounds like Gianna is fine being here. It’s her mom that would like her back home.

Most young men and women just out of high school have a lot of maturing to do. Freshman student athletes are no different in that regard, wherever they come from or wherever they wind up. Most of them will feel homesick at some point, until they’ve spent some time back home. It usually doesn’t take long before they get excited about leaving home again.

7. they weren’t on the red-eye last time the flight was delayed. they were on an early afternoon flight that didn’t leave for almost 9 hours. This time they are scheduled for the 11 p.m. flight. get in around 7.

8. never said promise. What I wrote a few weeks ago was that Shoji said Guinasso would be on this trip.

As for the HB players comparing notes, this is from the story I did on them that ran Aug. 18.

Koelsch gave her oral commitment early, the summer between junior and senior years, while at a tournament in Reno, Nev. Guinasso, playing for a different team, was on her way to the same tournament when Koelsch called her.
“It was, ‘Oh my god, her dream came true,’ ” Guinasso said. “I was so bummed. But, I kid you not, the next day, Scott (UH associate head coach Wong) was on my court. He gave me his card and I cried.
“I called her right away. ‘Kendra, we’re going to school together!’ “

Wonderful for Guinasso. And wonderful for the coach who kept his word.
