Saw USC on Pac 12 TV. Samantha Bricio will be Taylor’s main competition for national POW. Boy, is she impressive. Powerful jump serves and the ability to hit bullets from all over the court. There may be other good (unseen) performances by other players however. Of course I’m strongly rooting for Nikki Taylor. By the time Taylor is a senior she could be at the level of a Hartong or Danielson in terms of dominance and importance to the team.

BWC twitter has Taylor nominated for both overall and defensive POW

68 etc. No reason why Taylor won’t be BWC POW. would think she’s under consideration for national POW. But USC had two big wins over teams ranked higher than them (I would have said overrated in UNC’s case) but you never know.

71. there were a few foot faults by OSU not called. But a number of net violations on them not called either.

Yep, OCS tends to ‘borrow’ from what what was written when I was with the team in Europe. They did ask to use some of my video and pictures. Since I haven’t watched the broadcasts I don’t know if those were used or if they credited it as they promised. The word the Euro coaches used about Manu-Olevao was ‘dynamic.”

73. you’re welcome. So glad we weren’t in Klum this week. would have been beyond miserable with the humidity.

74. think Hawaii’s biggest challenge will be the schedule as the lone wolf and the last 6 matches on the road, including 4 in 7 days.

66. it was weird about OSU because Liskevych still in the arena long after the awards were done. Wichita State left last night, coach stayed through UH’s Set 1. came over to say that he had already asked Shoi to be invited two years from now when he thinks he could have his best team ever

Some personal Observations:
– Granato in for passing/serving: great. we see better chemistry and confidence.
– Higgins still needs to work her setting to the middles… still inconsistant and
low for all three middles.
– Give Kendra more playing time: Game three would have been a perfect oportunity to see what she can do with extended minutes.
– Pray Taylor stays healthy… shes the anchor for this team like Emily was.
– Give Baby G. more playing time.. I believe shes the quickest and the only one who played sand (??).
– Kahakai improving but looks a little slow to the ball (is this just me)?

#74 Saw both Beach games against Alabama and Duke on Big West TV. IMO, this is typical Beach team with big girls from couple transfers and international players. They don’t appear to have the players. They do have their moments when they string things together. Both backrow and frontcourt is still jelling and can be ugly. Moved 6’4″backup MH Wallace to Opp to block and it seen to help them greatly.

Does not look like the Big West will present much of a challenge this year, especially if you go by Long Beach State, chosen 2nd in the preseason poll. Watched them against Saint Mary’s on Big West TV. LBS lost badly, the team making all kinds of unforced errors. Saint Mary’s was chosen to finish 8th in the WCC preseason poll. However, LBS did beat Alabama and Duke for a record of 2-1. On the other hand, LBS may just have had a bad match or Saint Mary’s is way under-rated. It’s early and we’ll see as the season actually plays out.

#51 Very funny! I agree with Annie Mitchem’s comment about spam. But Spam Musubi is the exception and is actually pretty good.

CINDY , I’ve always forgotten to say “thank you” for the reporting of UHWVB ! I have been a fan since “the Klum years” and I am totally incredulous of the possibi- lities of this years’ team! I have not always agreed with Coaches , But , they know the game and especially the players! Dave believes in his women and always gives them room (he just looks mean , at times–but he’s okay)! That’s the big reason (among other things) why these women play with such passion. Anyway , sorry for getting deep. My BEST to the 2015/41st season edition and ——GO BOWS
