    Congrats to the three !
    Adding to Volleyman’s post on the Fab 50, someone noted that Jaylen Jasper,6-7 OH, is Ivin Jasper’s son and Kyler Presho-Hartung, 6-8, MB, is Mark’s son.

    If Tui moves to the OH next year, who sits? Austin Matautia?

    The player(s) who are least productive will sit. I don’t think you can make a determination right now as who sit and who play. Just because Tui is playing for the national team does not make him a guarantee starter. If Austin or Brett Rosenmeier return next season and play lights out, then they deserve to play and Tui either going to wait his chance or battle Gage for his libero spot.

    Got to do what is best for the team. Cannot be showing favortism and put the better players on the bench while your pet get the job.

    I think Wade has some kind of point system in practice where they get points for good plays and deductions for bad ones. Each players know where they stand so they know how much they need to do to beat out the guy in front of him.

    Fairest way to determine the starting lineup I guess.

    Congrats to Dalton, Stijn & Pat! Good job in the classroom and on the court! Hope more of the team makes the Academic team next year.

    Gage Worsley was selected as AVCA First-team HS Sr All-American. They listed him as an OH, not as a libero.

    Great interview with RAMS & Angelica this morning on HNN. Talked about the moment they each got the word on being hired, their plans for the program, summer camps, recruiting, and season tickets. Looking forward to the fall

    Just a thought: Not sure about some of you folks, recognize RAMS as the new calling for Robin, but…somehow it doesn’t sound “Wahine” correct.

    RAMS = pro football or a herd of male goats…nah…doesn’t sound “Wahine” correct.

    What a change in Robyn’s demeanor since her playing days. Who knew she had such a great “voice”?


  8. Ron June 2, 2017 3:04 pm

    I also would prefer to call her Robyn . I would love to hear more about their discussion on HNN, especially about recruiting.

    Any updates on Greeley’s shoulder? Any more walk-ons walking on or off?

    new thread up.
    Thank you for the links to the news.
    6. agree with the RAMS thing. it should be Ah Mow-Santos. people weren’t calling Shoji “Dave” here so why not continue using the coach’s last name instead of RAMS or Robyn.

    7. well she is 20 years older. She always had a great voice, you saw it during the Olympics and when she was an assistant here. At least we saw it in practice, not so much during games.

    12. as for Greeley, school’s been out for over a month. haven’t seen her. last we spoke was before the men’s final four and she was doing well. Haven’t heard anything more about departures other than Smith and Freitas.
