some responses to above comments.
Sealy didn’t get exclusive scouting privileges. All coaches use the scouting tables, which are at both ends of the court. Guess TV only showed Sealy. Deitre chose to scout from the table on the opposite end.

As for Manu-Olevao, 4 of her 10 kills came after Set 2.
Magill had 3 kills after Set 2, ended up with 10 as well.

Racek had a pretty poor match against SDSU.
interesting comment about Alhassan, questioning why she made all tournament. She was in double kills figures all three matches. had 1 hitting error. one of the top blockers of the tournament.

always hard to vote on the all-tournament team. you put at least one from every team, which might knock out someone from the top 2 teams and you don’t vote by position.

new thread up.

Florida might stay at 2. Think Texas goes up to 3. Stanford going to slide.

67. I think Florida remains at 2 or drops to 3. #3 Stanford lost and #4 Texas lost to Florida two weekends ago. Florida lost in 5 to Hawaii in an away game so I believe voters will not punish the team too harshly for the close away loss. Other than #7 Illinois beating #21 Kentucky, no one in the top 10 beat a quality opponent last week.

Looks like Wellenreiter, Durni, Vaught and Pukahi aren’t on the UH warrior team this year, bummed about that, especially about Vaught.

I played the game from age 12 (YMCA) to age 50 +.( mostly 3 man/3women leagues in Orange County). I still learn something new everyday from Cindy and you bloggers. I have only been a Wahine fan for 15 years. I love stories of the “old days”, and I particularly like Cindy’s bios on the players. The opportunity to vent and then to reevaluate my position based on the arguments you guys present makes this the best blog ever.

@49 & 50… Yes just as I was saying all along if the Wahines do well everyone is happy if they don’t do so well everyone one starts pointing fingers… In the end the Coach has the last say…

I think UH will be ranked anywhere from 11 to 13 depending on how much credit they get for beating Florida at home. Will be a hard argument to displace undefeated ASU at #10.

I predict tomorrow Nikki will be named Big west POW again and maybe AVCA POW and UH moves up to 11 in the poll.

Opinion: noun – a view or judgment formed about something, not necessarily based on fact or knowledge;

1. a belief or judgment that rests on grounds insufficient to produce complete certainty. 2. a personal view, attitude, or appraisal.

a belief, judgment, or way of thinking about something : what someone thinks about a particular thing

IMO, an opinion is only as good as the source. And, there is only really one that counts — the Coach’s. You really don’t expect Coach Dave to be like von Appen, do you?

49. thats no BS. and no surprise rather that shoji is partial to punahou. to clearify im not stating that as fact, but to stoke any other ‘armchair coaches’ around here contrary to their popular belief. even if it was true, savannah would be the exception since she is recruited, by design, to be a libero under shojis second ‘libero scholie’.
