Comings and goings: Croson gone from UA, Mau now there
As mentioned on another thread Jane Croson has left U of A. The Tucson paper said she moved back to Hawaii but I have heard of no sightings. Anyone?
Here’s the story line out of Arizona.

Wouldn’t mind seeing JC back on the sand team. With the returning players and incoming talents, her addition would make the sand team even more formidable.
Is it even possible to transfer back to a school and be able to play?
I don’t know if its the same but I remember on the men’s team, Sam Morehosue redshirted at UH in ’08, played at Golden West College in ’09, came back to UH and played in ’10
3. Sam’s situation totally different. GWC is a JC.
The first thing that would need to be determined is academic progress towards a degree. Of course, nothing would prevent a walk-on IF academically qualified.
We don’t even know if she’s really here so until then …
No thanks the beach wahine are just fine without her.
Besides the indoor team needs her way more, and she actually performed better indoor than beach her final season at UH.
Well the sand team in 2013 didn’t have that good a players or best pairings and were not strong in pairs top to bottom as the 2014 team.
Who is to say that either indoor or sand wants her back. It appears that both teams have moved on.
I’m not saying anyone (related to UH) has said that they want her back. Just saying that with young adults, chemistry can affect a team.
Any coach who would take in that problem child would be nuts IMO
Also haven’t seen or heard of any reference to Hawai`i or leaving Arizona from her on social media.
Remember that she claimed that she left here to be closer to home so her parents could see her play, coming back here would make her look like a fool IMO.
oy vey.
What was the situation with Gus, he played here, went and came back. Did he go to a JC when he was away. He’s the only player that I know that left and came back. I would like to see Jane at the alumnae game.
2. It’s possible. An example in recent years I know on the women’s side is with Brynja Rodgers. Anyone remember her? She played for NMSU for her freshman and sophomore seasons (’07-’08), transferred to Florida for her junior season(’09), came back to NMSU but had to sit out in ’10, then played her senior season there in ’11.
The reference to moving back to Hawai`i has no credibility with me until the say where they got that info.
Cindy, are the girls that are on a volleyball scholarship on a full ride scholarship for 1 year at a time, or are some of them on partial scholarships? That is, share 1 scholarship amongst each other, just like it is done in Men’s volleyball, and I believe baseball, also.
^why must you ask Cindy really stupid questions??? Stop it, use google and find out yourself!! The Answer is really obvious to anyone with half a brain!
If you please, we don’t need the return of the drama, indoor or sand. After UH and now Arizona, obviously the problem is on her.
14. Indoors are full and sand maybe divided to two.
Warriorfan, if you look at this year’s roster, all 12 scholarships have been given out. There is only 1 Senior on scholarship, that is Adolpho. There are 2 players who are High School Seniors this coming academic year, that have verbally committed to the Wahine, Casey Castillo, and McKenna Rose Granato, for 2015. Do the math, 2 players that will sign, and 1 scholarship to give out. That is why I asked the question.
People need to stop asking about scholarships. Dave knows what he is doing.
Btw Cindy, and word on Annie Mitchem. Is she closer to making a descision
Don’t think all 12 scholarships are used. Don’t think Long is on scholarship if you’re counting her. I remember a while back Cindy mentioned they were being “creative” with some scholarships in which I believe Long was one of those “creative” scholarships. That would leave 2 for 2015 for Granato and Castillo. But then rumor is Mitchem would be addition at that time…. that would then create a problem…. then again they can do something “creative” again.
Katie Spieler made the main draw of the Manhattan Beach Open.
Scrooge, 1 creative thing Dave could do is ask Beeman if she wants to pick up Megan Huff’s scholarship. Megan is an outstanding basketball player, but wanted to become an outstanding volleyball player.
If Dave can somehow get Annie Mitchem, for 2015. The Wahine will be scary good, almost unbeatable, with the Wahine only losing Adolpho and Mendoza. Even without Mitchem, the Wahine will be a National Championship contender.
Does anyone know what happened to Monica Stauber?
I forgot about Huff and basketball. Is it for sure Huff is playing basketball? Because if she is, her scholarship automatically comes from basketball. And that could solve the problem. Long might be on academic scholarship, it was mentioned a while back that she received academic offers from Georgetown and Syracuse. Thats another creative way.
There are no partial scholarships in womens’ volleyball. It’s categorized by the NCAA as a “head count” sport, so one scholarship per person (head). 12 total.
The men have 4.5 total scholarships. They are “equivalency” scholarships (I believe that’s the term), and under that NCAA classification, the men are permitted to parcel out the scholarships and spread them out among players on the roster.
But as others have said, schools (including Hawaii) have found “creative” ways to put together a financial aid package to cover non-scholarship players, likely in the form of other scholarships and grants (maybe academic-based?). I don’t know specifics, but maybe others do.
Cubicle, I hope you are right, cause I would hate to see Castillo, Granato, or even Mitchem go to another school, due to the fact that Dave did not have some kind of scholarship to hand out.
Scrooge, the only reason Megan Huff is on a volleyball scholarship is that she wanted to concentrate on volleyball, her 1st year, turning down quite a few basketball scholarship in the process. She may still play basketball after she completes her 1st year. Beeman could use her on the basketball team, she could even start, she is that good a basketball player.
Cindy, if you have seen enough to evaluate the serving, what is your opinion of Passi and Kahakai’s. I know both of them jump serve, of which last season only Hartong and Higgins did. I have heard that both of them are very effective.
Where did you see that she is on a volleyball scholarship and won’t play basketball her freshmen year?
9. not everything is on social media. I gave the link to the newspaper article for a reason.
21. Basketball is not picking up Huff on scholarship. All basketball scholarships are accounted for. Beeman’s concern is her team, not volleyball.
22. Mitchem and others can commit in November but may have news in a bit about 2015.
25. I wouldn’t worry about Castillo, Mitchem etc. But the scholarships are between coach and player, and that’s part of the recruiting.
27. haven’t seen enough of Kahakai’s serving to say anything.
Wahine basketball has some really good bigs coming in. Especially 3 star 6’2″ Hampton out of Florin high school and 4 star transfer 6’3″ Calhoun from USC to go along with 6’3″ transfer in Brianna Keddy from LMU and 6’4″ Rachel Morris from Utah . Im sure Huff is a good player but I wouldn’t go calling Huff a starter.
Cindy, not asking because of scholarships and whatnots, just asking because Huff seems like she wants to play basketball as well, like its in her blood. Do you know if she will eventually play basketball or stick strictly to volleyball.
Cindy, I am not talking about this athletic year, but maybe next athletic year, 2015, when it comes to Megan Huff, playing basketball.
Haven’t asked Huff about basketball. Again, Beeman’s concern is what is best for her team. That would again require losing a full scholarship for someone who only plays half a year. Just don’t see that happening.
Scrooge, in an article about Megan Huff, written by the Federalwaymirror paper. She mentioned as much, when interviewed by that paper.
It doesn’t look like Basketball has used up all their scholarships.
Off topic but Cindy, do you know if Magill was recruited by UH prior to her commitment to Arizona. And no it doesn’t matter, just curious.
31. Those basketball recruits don’t seem very impressive to me at all, Only Sampton, the USC and LMU transfer barely played at both those schools and it’s not like they are perennial powers LMU was terrible. Huff was considered one of the best post players in the state of washington.
Calhoun at USC was never given the chance and Beeman in the article in the
Staradvertiser reiterated that. I agree about the LMU player but only mentioned her as another Big in addition to Sampton and Calhoun. Huff would not start in front of Hampton nor Calhoun. Being one of the best in your state does not make you best on your team. Kalei adolpho was one of the best basketball players in Hawai’i yet not much of a contributor in college. I believe Huff is still a good basketball player just not a starter.
23. Stauber has retired from volleyball
35. yes, in an article a while back she mentioned she’d like to try to play both sports. doesn’t mean she was recruited to play basketball and she may not have understood that she couldn’t play both sports unless on a basketball scholarship.
Heck, Adolpho said she wanted to play three sports here when she first committed.
37. UH did recruit Magill but she had her heart on playing in the Pac-12. Had hoped it would be at UW but didn’t happen. She has relatives on several islands.
this is the quote from the story I wrote back in March
“I thought UH was too far away,” she said. “I grew up with my family very close by, my grandparents live on our cul-de-sac.
“I think I’ve matured since then, grew up, and decided I wanted to transfer to an elite program, some place different than the Pac-12. I really liked Hawaii.”
Thanks Cindy. Didn’t realize there was an article. Don’t have a sub to the paper.
Calhoun was cut from a team that UH nearly beat last season, not impressed.
And Washington is a state with a much larger talent pool than Hawaii in girls basketball!!!
Calhoun went to USC. USC beat Hawai’i Last Year. Calhoun was not cut but graduated and got her undergraduate degree at USC and will be attending grad school in Hawaii. If you want to talk about talent pool. Calhoun is from California… which has a bigger talent pool then both Hawaii and Washington. Calhoun was rated the 34th best Forward in the nation in her class!!!
