33. I think it best to not deal with rumors or use disparaging terms to describe people. Players change their minds all the time. And they transfer all the time.

anyway, congrats to Long-Tucker on making the all tournament team

#8 Totally agree with your comment on the USC coach interview. There was a time when USC was the conservative, admired and respected, and by the rules institution- but not anymore. While they produced some of the greatest ever VB players like Debbie Green and Debbie Landreth Brown, today’s USC has chosen the low road – how very sad.

Speaking of Anna Collier and the landscape of beach and indoor’s future.

3 of USC’s 4 players of their flight 1 and 2 were indoor committed to other programs (Bukovic and Claes from LBSU and Strange from Nebraska), that is until that sneaky Anna got them to change their commitments. I think someone mentioned, and this is only a rumor, but that she asked Hughes to approach Claes to change her mind since she couldn’t do it as the coach. Can’t confirm if that is true, just what some people on Vtalk were mentioning.

Can you imagine if LBSU had Bukovic and Claes on their indoor team this past year? They could have really challenged UH for that indoor title. And, it’s not like Nebraska needed Strange as they won the whole dang thing without her anyway.

Oh, and I’m rambling here, but.. just to think that Nebraska indoor returns everyone except 1 of their middles, but it’s ok….they are just going to replace her with an All American middle blocker transfer in Briana Holman. They could be better this year than next. I hate that soooooo much. I pray Foecke one day wants to spend part of her indoor career in beautiful Hawaii and transfers!! 🙂

Commentators on TruTV commented on Spieler’s academic excellence as well. She truly has set the standard for the future of this program.

She is definitely capable of representing the USA in the Olympics someday…wonder if she has considered this as well?

Couldn’t help but notice how sunburn all the teams were. They need to take bio-Astin , works great in preventing sunburn. And no I have no investment with the company.

Love Spieler too. But comparing her to misty may treanor is a reach.

Oh and Cindy. What is that rule about beach going into indoor? There is some kind of weird 2 year waiting period or something, right?

We SCORED big time with Katie. She was the reason her and Nikki did so well a couple years ago. She is so magical. Very special player. I wish her cousins would come to UH. Ma’a and the 2 van windens. 🙂

But Katie would deserve to have her number retired. I think she set the precedence not just for this team, but for the future of wahine sand volleyball. She brought us to another level which I hope sustains when she leaves. Such a special, special player and an even more outstanding student. Her parents must be exploding with pride for her. I know I would be.

Congratulations to the entire team. Just wanted to add, UH should retire Spieler’s jersey. Got to watch today’s matches, and while USC and FSU has some great players, I thought Spieler was the best player out there.

One of these days we’ll be talking about her being another Misty May-Treanor.

22. Even though the MIVA has been winning it all recently, there’s no doubt that the WIVA/MPSF has dominated the sport…It would be nice to see a better balance in men’s volleyball…
