I think with Kahakai back, Hawaii should do well on this upcoming trip. I wonder what kind of difference she would have made on the previous trip? I guess can’t dwell on the past.
I have been pretty impressed with her composure as a freshman.
na wahine should be ready now. they showed they are capable of digging bullets and passing them.
Greeley could be feeling the pressure of being billed as a star by Hawai`i fans before she even arrived. She may be trying too hard because she wants to live up to that and not disappoint anyone.
We all know that we are famous here for praising incoming kids to the high heavens declaring them future All Americans and Super Stars before they even sign the NLI. She needs to just let it come to her and it will come in time.
1 I was at the Long Beach game where we lost in 5. There was definitely a cloud of uneasiness with the UH backcourt defense as to who was suppose to do what – especially in set 1. Watching yesterday’s Santa Barbara match, our backcourt appeared so confident in their assignments and for the most part did not hesitate. To me, Kahakai anchors the backcourt defense well with Sarah. If we had her, we would have beaten the Beach.
3. Thanks for the insight.
Considering the change on Sunday with Tai out, chemistry between the players may have been an issue. But they handled it well. Finally the team can gel and get their substitution rotation set.
Congrats to Sarah and Kalei, good job, keep it going on this road trip and down the stretch. Thanks for the heads up vballfreak808.
5. there was a new thread dedicated to the weekly honors put up hours ago.
7. Cindy, I think my computer is on the blink, this was the first subject posted on mine when I clicked on. Even the latest tech is not perfect I guess.
1 and 4. well that was shojis fault he said kahakai aint ready right?
oh well. now the defensive players seem ready at least especially when they support each other. kahakai certainly supported mendoza, i guess the libero cant do it all by herself. but then again mendoza herself also seemed to have improved as she looks much faster than she was before. long also supported the defense, so you have a third defensive specialist in that also has a high velocity swing. kalei model g may need a tune up as she seemed easily sundered a couple few times and her fire rate hitting percentage was low.
wildcard — when did shoji say kahakai isn’t ready? from the start of the season, shoji had said he won’t hesitate to use her. she’s been a primary passer since day one, save for the time she was out with injury.
if you mean that shoji was cautious in making sure she was ready coming back from her injury … well, i think that’s entirely reasonable. why fault shoji for making sure she was healthy enough to play?
10. kahakai was already reportedly cleared for practice by the fullerton game and cleared to play by the irvine game. additionally it was supposedly shoji was going to take kahakai on the road but then changed his mind and said she is not ready which sounded more like maybe he doubted her game because she hasnt been playing for a while and not because she wasnt medically or physically ready.
wildcard — still though, i wouldn’t fault a coach for not wanting to rush a player back from injury.
if she had played and gotten re-injured, then there’d be folks on here — probably you included — who’d be readily saying that it was coach’s fault for bringing her back too soon.
just sayin’ …
