14. I was talking about women’s volleyball.

As for Manu-Olevao’s decision, it’s hers and as mentioned numerous times she was going to get grief either way.

9. I suppose but Mitchem hasn’t had that many practices with the team. When she says she’s still getting used to things, then you maybe you should that into consideration.

“A lot of pressure on these players that doesn’t exist in any other program”.
Cindy, you have to be joking?
Tell that to Max Witteck. HAW plays COLorado, Ohio State, Wisconsin and Boise State in a 5-week period. Three of those games are against NR teams inc the #1 and all three are on the road. He hasnt played in two years. No apologies there.
Look, most of these athletes, male or female, live for the moment. Ask Kelly Majam. No excuses. Just let me play. I can get the job done.
Granato welcomed the challenge, she jumped into the game and executed. Ditto w Anderson. Kahakai did a cat rebound against Wichita State and TMO is a 4 year player. Shoji has been babying her… now look. For the life of me I fail to understand why she changed her position to NOT play on Sundays.

Also know that there are some on VT and other sites who have been blocked here for cause and that was a decision based on our Terms of Service which is posted below the Leave A Comment.
Contrary to what some believe, I do not have control over who is banned or blocked. And many times comments go into spam because there are words that trigger our filters.

Reason I mention Bown, similar body type. Ljugquist more between a Bown and a Duggins.
Mitchem can hit the slide, they just haven’t got the ball to her there. Not like she’s been in a lot. more as a blocking sub.

5. that is amusing since there’s plenty of unsweetness going on here. Not like I’m all sweetness and light when I get grumpy.

The anonymity of the internet is very emboldening and people think they can post anything they want with impunity. When it starts bordering on libel and harassment then perhaps my threshold for such is lower than VTs.

Don’t think it’s too much to ask to be civil with one another and about these amateur athletes.Some of the stuff that gets deleted are personal attacks and would never be said to that person’s face.

UCLA down 0-2 to LMU, at home. They do not look good, could be bad for UH’s rpi.

#6 Video online of Mitchem at IVC shows her crushing the slides – very explosive. While it was against JC competition, it was still impressive. For now, Annie needs to get her school work done and learn the system. Perhaps in the near future.

One of Shoji’s beliefs is that if you have a big gun you fire it. (aka Emily Hartong, Kim Willoughby, Tee Williams, etc.) He has a 2 time All American who played both OH and MH for Pestolsi (in the same match). Give Huff half a set, give Castillo half a set, then sit back and let Annie go to work. All that stuff about “knowing” the system is misdirection. L1 duties are the same whether you play D1, D2, or D3. Moreover, passing is sorely needed and Annie is a good passer. Throw sentimentality out the window, ditch seniority, forget titles. Play the best players!

#5 Read the same on VT. Too funny – especially their rationalization of their own admitted mean spirited hostility as being okay because they are the more volleyball “knowledgeable” crowd.

Saw the Am. U vs UF too. Yeah, Am U totally blew it. After watching the Gators, I thinking the wahines have a chance. Thanks for sharing.

#6. It may also be timing, as AM has only practiced 6x. Work in progress.

By the way, as well as she played and her good stats, felt Magill could have done better — timing of sets aside. There were a number of free balls that she did not terminate.

Maglio didn’t get going until the 3rd set too.
