Good Morning,

http://www.avca.org/divisions/division-one-women/poll-9-7-2015/

Hawaii moved up one spot to #16 in the AVCA Division 1 Women’s Volleyball Poll just ahead of #17 UCLA! Also, Hawaii will have an opportunity at a resume-building win as they face #2 Florida on Friday Night! Hope that the SSC is sold out and good luck Rainbow Wahine VB!

In spite of what I just said a large part of me agrees with Kimo

This lose was not the end of the world. UCLA is good but I would bet on us in a re-match. We have better personnel, we just need to get the right people in the right positions. I do think that we now need to beat Florida if we want to be in the conversation as a national contender. This lose was a team lose and no one individual should be blamed. The plus was seeing what Huff can do.

Start Koelsch and reinvent the back row. Anderson and baby G are better than any of the rotating starters. Play Huff and start Mitchem. She has more skills and range than either Maglio or Magill. Shoji needs to shake it up bc it aint working. Higgins will not take us to the promised land. Period.

Towards the end of game 4, all the sets kept going to Greeley. Even on the passes that were good enough to set the middles. Annie was going up for the slide and not getting set. Why is Annie not getting set? She needs the reps…period! She won’t get better if not given the reps.

Same with Huff. She needs playing time and sets to get better. I really do think these 2 need to be on the court.

Even though there are only 3 Middle Hitters, they can still try Mitchem on the pins and see how she does out there. If an injury happens, God forbid, they can just put her back in the middle or throw Castillo in the middle. They have options, it is just not being utilized.

I’m kind of rambling…but to conclude, Huff and Mitchem need to be on the court more and get playing time AND SETS!!!! to get better.

That first set was painful to watch, but in the overall scheme of things, watching the Wahine fight tooth and nail to pull out the second set and almost the fourth set
bodes well for the future. Give the Bruins credit, their back row defense is what did us in. They were chasing down and digging balls all night that looked looked like it was a sure point for the Wahine. Agree with most of the suggestions that Huff and Mitchem should get more playing time and Taylor should be subbed out but only AFTER she serves. Tough loss but proud of the Wahine for showing their grit.
GO BOWS.

I found a tweet by a 6′ 2 sophomore from Alabama named Kaden Edenfield and it says she wants to play for the rainbow wahine and is obsessed, Looks like she has major hops. http://s3.amazonaws.com/vnn-aws-sites/7911/files/2015/06/Edenfield.2014.jpg

I hope Jeff Hall takes notice.

Taylor should stay on the right side.. Megan should play left with Greely.. Taylor should come out backrow.. Earlier on the 1st or 2nd set she was not able to pickup the tips.. I just think some praise Taylor too much… The past two games we talk about the passing is off but the only way for Taylor to get kills is a pass and the set. When the pass is on the money she at times hits it out then we make up an excuse of why she hit it out… Remember it’s 6 people on that court not one…we just need to be true fans and just support a win or a lost.. What is preseason for? Yes, to prepare and learn and get better… We can all say if they did that or bring in her we would have won!!! It’s amazing how quick we point fingers…Just my thoughts..

Ok after thinking about it, the loss is not so bad, UH almost came back from the dead and took it to five which shows never give up attitude and toughness. There have been serious weaknesses exposed but now they have time to work on them and they might have discovered a new weapon in Huff.
