38. The Beach was already losing Jackson, Mackie, Cabrajac and Okpala since they were seniors. So it’s not like they didn’t have plans to replace them
Miley and Reid would be big losses. Interesting that Reid would transfer for her senior year but she is from Colorado.

39. have mentioned several times that Wellenreiter’s paperwork hasn’t cleared. They thought it would be done by now which is what Tsai was going on. But it hasn’t happened. And until it does he cannot be listed on the roster nor warm up with the team. The last Wade said was it will happen sooner than later. wouldn’t be surprised if it happens this week.
as for the all-tournament team, if Hawaii had won, he likely would have made it and UH would have have three players. I had Kanetake on my ballot at the start of the match. but he didn’t have a great outing against the Anteaters. If the stats were to be believed, he didn’t have a dig until the middle of Set 2. But I do question the stats. He was clearly the best libero of the tourney but that’s not how the voting goes. It’s not done by position.
Sedore had kills and aces that warranted his selection.

Hawaii got out played. Fey really needs to work more on the offensive part of his game. Averill needs to get back on track and continue where he left off last year. Sedore needs to hit more line shots when he has the opportunity. The were multiple times when I thought the ball was set out wide enough and there was a big gap in the block that he should have hit line instead of cross court right into the block.

Like WF, I don’t get why Wade didn’t substituted more tonight. You can’t really claim to have a deep bench if you don’t play anyone else except your starters.

What is up with Vaughn Wellenreiter? According the Stephen Tsai he was suppose to be eligible to play immediately. He’s not listed on the roster and has not been warming up with the team? What’s the hold up? This team needs another viable middle.

Siki had a great weekend. He found ways to put the ball down and his defense was solid overall. More than any other Hawaii player he was able to better the ball on bad sets.

I also thought overall Kanetake had a better weekend than Sedore and should have been named to the all-tournament team instead of him.

36. From volleytalk,
Long beach now loses starting libero Jackson, OH1 Reid, probable OH2 Miley, Opposite Mackie,top DS Crabajac and middle Okpala. I think they will be lucky to finish top 4 next year in big west play.

35. UH does a lot of weight training. The difference is UCI has big guys.

Yeah, hard to recruit against the national champions, but UH was close again, just like with Sander.

I agree with Lisa that UH should maybe hit the weight room. UCI players looked much stronger.

Damn what could have been. Hershko is obviously good.
