13. Maglio has improved from last season when we didn’t get to see much of her. Playing sand definitely helped and she has a quick arm.

14. Castillo looks good. Another one who is adjusting to a backup role after being a star. She had a couple of stuffs of Taylor which made her smile and she’s jumping well, coming down on the ball.

17. don’t know right now about Granato as the third OH. I like her game, very savvy, gets up well but still undersized when you look at Castillo out there. Shoji has a lot of good options and a lot of talent.

Hello Cindy Thanks as always on keeping us informed!

Aside from Mitchem the talk this off season seems to be Emily Maglio…From your assessment how is she performing so far in practice?

Regardless of the constitution of the A-team, the depth in their practice opponent B-team could mean a strong overall team like the 2015 Warriors enjoyed with their depth.

Cindy, how is Casey Castillo looking? With all the focus on Mitchem and the returnees, I am curious about how Casey is progressing.

Had a short chat with Mitchem, asking her how she was doing and how hard was it to come in after being ‘the’ player and maybe not start.

She said that it’s going to take time to earn a spot, that you can’t just walk in and expect it. Said she has a lot of adjustments to make and it will take a while so she will keep working hard. said the hardest thing was the faster pace of the game and that the balls don’t go down that she’s used to because Hawaii’s defense is good.

11. My post on Annie is to all the posters making predictions of the starting lineup and other quotes putting Mitchem on the outside not my bend of where Annie should play.

#6 I would not get upset regardless of your bend on where you think Annie plays. Season is young and the current circumstances is very awkward. Dave needs to put a cohesive team that can play together on the floor within a week to make sure we win out in pre-season and have a chance to host. IMO, everything else is secondary.

Derek, totally agree. Ever since Cindy mentioned her progress and given the fact that she is one of the best athletes on the team I have been wondering how she could fit in and contribute. A coaches dilemma for sure.
