it is pretty obvious that Matlin wanted a low end (pay wise) coach. He didn’t want to pay a Sealy or or even Fisher type salary. Can’t complain he is 2 for 2 so far.

I agree about the hiring process, as well. I’m happy and pleased with Robyn, but wonder who we could have gotten if it was a full search.

I would love to see someone on the bench that would like to go international on recruiting. If we can’t get the top American recruits, get the best abroad. It’s working for the men.

How could anyone hate Brian. He has not changed in 30 years and he and Dave have done more with less than anyone else in the sport. Don’t get me wrong, I love to boo him but I would never underestimate his contributions to the sport.

74. Often wondered the same…. however, he must be doing something right ’cause his teams are always competitive and he continues to have quality players entering his program as well as exiting. Performance speaks for itself… and it could be, either you “love ‘um or hate ‘um.”

Out of curiosity, why has LBSU experienced a lot of turnover over the past few years? Does BG wear them out? Difficult to get players to gel when you have new transfers coming in and going out every year.

I remember reading that Oglivie is about 5’11 now. She’ll probably end up being 6’0.

Hall’s recruiting has been solid all things considered. May not be the best recruits, but the best for Hawaii and what they do with their players.

Light and Castaneda are great pick ups tho. I don’t expect anyone to leave…

Shouldn’t be too tough, Yea we will miss Nikki but we have a potential all american setter, and three experienced and good seniors. Hopefully Kalei will be healthy and ready to hit in the fall. If one of the freshman middles steps up or Castillo improves in the middle we can move Mags to the rightside.
I expect big improvement from Burns, Smith and Sibley.
Cal Poly will be tough but they always falter on the road, and Long Beach lost it’s own Nikki, and then also lost their starting setter. The wahine should be favorites to win the big west again.

this year going be tough no matter who the coach is. Life after Nikki. I’m sure coach Robin will change things up. Probable quite a bit. She has own ideas with all that experience.

Think Jeff has demonstrated that he can recruit. Wahine have two verbals for 2018, both look to be quality players. Incoming recruits may not be the tallest but 6′ 2″ ave, with high VB IQ will get it done; we have 4 coming in.

More interested in next year’s style of play. We got a solid team. Now it’ll be a matter of getting them to click. Upcoming spring games with provide a trailer into the future.

Go Wahine!
