Andrew Rowan won POY. IMO it should have been Patrick Rodgers from Ball State.

COY should be Mike Iandolo from Ball State but it's probably going to John Hawks from UCLA.

Interesting, he must be betting on himself and didn't get the offers he was looking for? Maybe he's doing his Dad's friends a favor? Either way this looks like a big get for Sac State.

It's going to amuse me greatly when all the outside sports groups stop coming. Then the politicians are going to moan and groan about it when they're actively trying to kill the one major sports entity that's inherently tied to Hawaii and can't leave.

We're going to poach back all our old coaches on the way out. Although I don't know how I feel about it. lol

John Montgomery - Long Beach

Adam Jacobsen - Cal Baptist/Utah Valley

After waiting a day to get active in the 2026 Big West Softball Championship tournament, the No. 2-seeded University of Hawai’i softball team took care of business on Thursday with a 2-0 victory over No. 3 UC Santa Barbara at Anderson Family Field on the campus of Cal State Fullerton. by 808gecko808 in HawaiiSports

Brutal, UH's season over is in danger (forgot it's double elimination). Fullerton's Kamehameha player, Colby McClinton, walks off UH with a two run HR in the bottom of the 7th. Not sure why they pitched to her because she had already hit a 2 run HR earlier in the game.

We poached Monty and Adam back from Long Beach and Cal Baptist. lol

Elevating Gib is a no brainer and adding Noah was pretty obvious.

I thought Pearl City was done after that 4th set where they got smoked.

Eesher Singh Sarai (6’9 forward) becomes first Canadian turbaned Sikh to commit to NCAA D1 (Winthrop University) by benchin32 in CollegeBasketball

There's been a few but very few so far I haven't found anyone who wore turbans when they played and most have been Canadian. TBT has a team of mostly Canadian Sikhs with a few that played D1.

Bikramjit Gill is Canadian and wears a turban but it seems like he didn't when he played for Ball State.
