new thread up
some comments
have long thought that football should just create four super conferences of 16 and go from there. It was sad to see the traditional rivalries get erased because football moved to another conference. Destroyed Big East basketball.
It would be interesting to see what the TV deal would be if the Pac-12 network would be in play with UH.

It really sounds like Taylor won’t play beach in spring. Hall said he was OK with the decision either way although his comment was “I’ll advocate for my program.”

don’t think Tucker-Martin would be the No. 1 pair. Believe it will be Maglio and whoever is the best fit as a partner. Hall is big on chemistry.
interesting pairing would be Kahakai. with Maglio she said she’s coming out in spring. We’ll see if Mitchem changes her mind. think it’s a no as of now.

They both could be on the pro tour and could be the next Hughes/Claes duo. They are both that good. I don’t know what kind of partnership or chemistry they would have together, which is obviously huge on the beach. But, if they click together, I can see them paired together…and dominate together.

The last one seems way off. 23/24 puts UH with the 9/10 seed, if you go strictly by 32 getting 1, 17 getting 16, etc.

Estimated 7-12 RPI are BYU, UNC, Missouri, Stanford, Florida, UCLA. Highly unlikely UH goes to UNC or to Florida. IMO, likely Stanford or UCLA, then BYU and Missouri. Kansas is at 5, but has the worst SOS of the top 25. They may drop in seedings, and if so, outside shot of UH going there. I think San Diego played itself out of a seed.

We will find out tomorrow.

Flight one
Nikki Taylor
Kaiwi Schucht

Flight 2
Emily Maglio
Carly Kan ( think she will be just as good on beach as she is indoors)

Flight 3 ( they can dominate here)
Morgan Martin
Mikayla Tucker

Flight 4
Emma Smith
Amy Ozee

Flight 5 ( they will be unbeatable here imo)
Hannah Rooks
Ari Homayun

I’m sure we will get a phenomenal coach to replace Dave and would not be surprised at all if it was Sealy. I would also love to see Dan Fisher give it a go. He’s building a great resume and some good USA vball and east coast contacts. I’m positive some blue chippers would come his way at some point.

Regarding Hughes/Claes. I agree, they are just unstoppable and look forward to cheering them on in the Olympics in Tokyo. And for finally leaving USC. I know it’s against the spirit of the game and the official rules, but just send a sacrificial lamb to the #1 spot and win #s 2-5. I’m kind of sort of kidding on that. Sort of…but not really. 😉

I could see a Martin/Emma Smith top flight. Martin is what 6’1″? Tall enough for the net game. Smith is another top ranked beach recruit we got lucky with as a walk on.

Hope coach Hall plays his actual top pair at flight 2 anyway since Claes and Hughes will be neary unbeatable again.

Minnesota wins in 5….We can play with both of them but after watching them tonite, I would play Annie, Nikki, Maglio as much as possible up Front….Mixing in McKenna Granato.wisely against these huge teams would be advised. They will just go over her and take advantage of her height. If we play smaller and not as athletic as the Big Ten , then Mckenna can match up. She is a strong hitter and a good volleyball player, but this postseason becomes a MATCH UP COMPETITION…..We have to play at the level we played in the 2nd match vs. LBSU…..If we play at that LEVEL and even better , we will have a tremendous chance at the FINAL 4….but let’s just take one match at a time….everyone wants to win….IT’S one and out or move forward…
IMUA BOWS!!!
