Catching up now that I can
9. Rooks is dedicated to sand. She cannot be on sand scholarship and play indoors.
11. nope, won’t happen. Spieler is done with playing at UH, grads next Saturday with her master’s
13. Koelsch chose to concentrate on indoors. Originally a beach commit but with Kyra Goodman retired, they needed a second setter. Koelsch moved over.
32. Don’t know if Mitchem is interesting in playing beach next spring.
35. They have 10 players coming in for next year. Don’t think there are any grad students. They want more than a 1 and done.
I think Mitchem would break into the top 5 but much depends if she wants to play.
36. Hall doesn’t try to game the system. The rules were supposed to allow for the switch but the NCAA yielded to the protest. Same thing happened at the Aloha Invitational. UH wanted to switch its pairs the second time they played SC but the organizers at the last minute said they couldn’t. Even though the tournament packet said they could.

Meant to say Long Beach had their second best pair playing at the 5th flight all season long, even though they could have easily been moved up since they were unbeatable something like 40-0 all season at flight 5.

I would also keep Rooks and Homayun at 5 even though they might be good enough to be in flight 3. I remember when Long Beach won the avca championship they had their second best pair playing at the 5th flight lol

I also hope next year Coach Hall just puts his best pair at flight 2 all season long, just to stick it to Anna Collier lol
Hughes and Claes will be even more unbeatable next season, and quite frankly it would be good strategy if UH wants to win the national championship.

31. Would love to see Annie play one year for the sand bows, but there’s ALOT of competition for the 10 spots on 5 pairs not sure if Annie would make one of those 5 pairs.

29, yep they were about to win it was timeout UCLA Mags/Spieler were up like 13-10 on the twins.

Any grad transfers joining the team next year?

Cindy, how likely do you think it would be that Mitchem plays Sand after she completes her indoor eligibility? She did played Sand for IVC. That would be a nice boost.

Really wanted to see them play tomorrow on TBS to get more national exposure, really disappointing loss.
