new thread up for Monday. will update when poll comes out.

30. haven’t seen what you describe in terms of Wade looking at the broadcasters as to whether to call a challenge. what I have seen are the Warriors motioning with a C to have the coach use it.

As for the ref having trouble with the monitor. was told that on the last call, the replay monitor went blank and they had to go over to TV’s to see the replay.
What wasn’t announced in the arena was that the video was ‘inconclusive’ and that is the reason the original ruling stood, that being that GCU hit the antenna.
don’t shoot the messenger, I couldn’t tell from my angle. just passing along what i’ve been told about the ruling.

My bad… I think Lewis will be ahead of Loyola but below Irvine.

Guess Hawai`i will probably be ranked #4 tomorrow behind Ohio State, UCLA and BYU. I think Pepperdine will be #5 and Long Beach will be #6. Rounding out the Top 10 will be Irvine, Loyola-Chicago, Lewis then Stanford. It’s nice to see Hawai`i moving up but it is only due to teams above them losing. This week will truly see where they are at when they take on the Beach and Irvine.

#26 … I agree with Matautia’s progress. I would say that he is probably much better now because of being a tad bit older. More importantly, always being around a high level of competition would either make him elevate his game or wither and become a cheerleader on the bench. He has definitely risen to the challenge literally and figuratively. Such a great leaper. Hawai`i, this year, has such a high level of competition on both their A and B squads that practices must be insane. I cannot recall such talent on both sides. This is the most exciting team ever as far as collection of talent and height I can ever remember and I have been around for a while.. even attended games in Klum, like chanting “Scherman, you suck” when we beat UCLA during the Carlos Briceno, Adam Lockwood, Brian Poppinga, Lacro, Van Sickle, days… but not as far back as the Pono Ma`a days I am afraid, not that old.

Blessman Taala is a beast. Check him out on OC12. Hawaii will score if he signs on the dotted line on signing day.

But…Fey, Rosey, Tui and even Rattray could give us a boost when one is off.

Mamane and Evan are solid liberos, too. Can’t wait for Gage to get here. We are winning it all either this year or next…or both. Too much talent, too many lineups.

I think Rado and Stein need to be on the floor at the same time. I know it depends a lot in how the passing holds up for that to happen, but it has to happen.

I think Fey and Rosey and even Tui are good replacements if Stein/Rado/Matautia have an off night.

Gasman is incredible and Mol has improved greatly from last year. We just don’t have depth in the middle. Solbrig isn’t cutting it right now. I can’t believe he beat out nainoa frank for that spot.

Tui is tui….so lucky to have him back there.

Then Jennings and Joe. We got two incredible setters and I am leaning toward Jennings right now just because of his blocking and athleticism. He’s amazing at the net. But joe is so much fun to watch, really mixes it up.

So…here is my lineup.

Von Tilburg/Matautia
Rado on opp
Gasman/Mol
Jennings
Tuileta

Cindy, not saying that Chris actually went onto the floor and talked to the down ref trying to argue his call, the down ref was still near the table & monitor and chris took a few steps towards him, both of them being on their respective sides of the table, and he just was chatting with him about the call no doubt. And I did observe that when there was a replay, Charlie would look to chris & kanoa to see if it was the right call, one instance, there was a touch off UH, got challenged or looked at again on Chris & Kanoa’s tv monitor and Kanoa motioned to Charlie that is was indeed a touch on UH. Anycase, I’m excited to see Parapunov healthy 100%, he hits a super heavy ball.

Not quite sold on Fey at OH. Think he is the third or fourth best option there, especially once Parapunov is back 100%.
