11. Maglio is not going to the OH. She is a middle. Hartong played middle out of necessity. She moved to OH which was her natural position when they had better options at middle. Don’t think you’ll see Castillo in the middle. Burns is coming along pretty well.

10. the spring exhibition has never been televised. Barely 1500 came so the interest wasn’t there either for those on Oahu.

Maglio’s armswing is faster with higher velocity than Castillo, Mitchem, and Granato. These are the same attributes that caused Shoji to move Emily Hartong from middle to OH after 2 yrs. Mag’s passes better than Tai Manu Olevao and is the second best blocker on the team (NT is first). Maglio and Greeley on the left with Castillo and Mitchem in the middle is an attractive lineup. (Although Kirsten Sibley is unknown.)

Isn’t there any video on the exhibition match with Iowa State.So sad no coverage. Guess nobody wants to pay for the expense to put it on. Times like this outer island just out of luck.

But ya gotta admit; Mag’s jump serve in the exhibition looked pretty good!

I believe that the National Teams announced so far are the “lower” teams and the higher quality players are being saved for the later announced teams.

Back to Maglio, even though she is showing great promise on the beach, that doesn’t always translate to moving to OH indoors. The passing and defense required of an OH has to be more accurate of any pass on the beach. She is staying in the middle.

If Nikki Taylor can add a little more “zing” in her shots (wrist leverage) and an improved serve Karch has to consider her. Kiraly is a good coach but wholly underestimates the value of a “wicked” consistent serve. The serve that Nikki displayed in the exhibition was “top shelf”; better than Karsta Lowe, better than Nicole Fawcett, and as good if not better than anyone else currently on the National team. (Consistency will be key.)

Jeff might ask Jade Forster to play on his SandBows team. She has a very good head on her shoulders as well as the height.
