see new thread on Averill Bonham Award winner.

9. don’t know how much Maitlin had to do with the decision. He started work yesterday (Monday). Things were decided before that.

I would have liked to have seen Senior Night closer to the end of regular season. Hosting would be great, but regardless, it would be nice to give the team a boost from the SCC fans going into the tournament. UH Athletics hasn’t posted the MBB schedule yet, so it will be interesting to see which teams will be participating in the MBB tournament. With quality teams and some wins, Coach Ganot and AD Matlin can show this negative adjustment to the Rainbow Wahine schedule wasn’t for naught.

Hope the rpi is high enough this year for the wahine to host in the NCAA tournament.

It would be a shame for the last home match to be on November 1st.

To bad volleyball is getting kicked around between football and basketball. P— me off. Its always the same reason that those sports brings in the most rev. Seems like Idaho and Wichita State was here not to long ago. Nice to see the Shockers back. Down to four months and counting.

#4 Totally agree and have posted earlier that I thought she was naturally athletic and quick. Give her a year or so to hit the weights and improve her skills, and we should get a glimpse of what she can do.

JMO after viewing high lights of Natasha Burns believe she has lots of potential. On defense she gets to where she has to, to make the block and jumps high enough to be effective. On offense she jumps higher, however, it looks like she’s not taking advantage of her approach. Believe Shoji and staff will clean that up. With additional strength and better training, believe she’ll be very good. Has anyone viewed any recent video? The ones I’ve viewed are dated. Lots of speculation on how skilled the other 3 recruits are. Seems like we have more info on the latest recruit than on the other 3. Lots to be excited about….and great for the program and department.

unfortunate, disappointing schedule. but like shoji says … it is what it is.

still though, i just don’t like that most of the travel/road matches is done in the last month of the season. could lead to some tired/exhausted players heading into the ncaa tournament.

also disappointing to hear that pre-season basketball got priority over volleyball. it’s probably more than that though. with all the budget issues for the athletic tournament, the revenue possibility from an additional bball tournament was likely the motivating factor.

i hope shoji got something good in return for being so accommodating … or at least a valuable chit that he can call in later when needed.

We just should have moved the football games to Thursday night because hardly anybody goes anyway.
