Nevada, Fresno State and Boise all finish at 7-9. Nevada lost tonight at Utah State, Boise lost at Idaho and Fresno State won at San Jose State. Nevada and Fresno meet Monday with the winner to play Hawaii. Idaho gets to see Boise State for the second time in less than a week. Winner faces New Mexico State.

The only info I have about next week’s exhibitions with Stanford is .. Klum Gym, no charge, but limited bleacher seating. Wednesday 3 p.m., Friday 9 a.m., Saturday at 8 a.m. It’s not listed yet on the Web site under schedule but if you go to the right of the MVB home page, you can click on “Schedule PDF” and the times show up there.

UH has sold out of its allotment for the tournament. From what booster club prez Stanley Ching said, each school had 75, which doesn’t seem like a lot … at least in Hawaii.

Panda Travel also sold out of its package, which included passes It was a pretty good deal around $900 for air, 5 nights hotel and meals.

If you’re going to go, my advice would be to go directly to the Orleans box office and by there. All-session is $45. Single session is $20 the first day, $23 the other two days.

I know I had mentioned it earlier that it was cheaper to buy through UH. i don’t know if it’s cheaper to go through other schools to et tickets than to go to the box office. Either way, likely handling fees and tax.

Don’t think it was the entire class Wade wanted … one went to BYU, another to Penn State, but he got two good middles …

It will be up on the web site in a bit …. Shane Popelka of Chesapeake, VA., and Shan Welch, of Coral Springs, Fla.

Popelka is a 6-8 middle and a really good basketball player, with a GPA of over .4.0

Welch is a 6-9 blocker/OH and is a VB Mag Boys Underclassmen to Watch.

An ace by Ka’aihue ends it at 25-15. (Thanks Idaho Boy, Melody Eckmeier’s husband Ben). I tried to buy Idaho’s package but it wouldn’t let me. Ben did and is posting on VolleyTalk.

Sorry for the delay, just got back. As you’ve seen all four have signed their NLIs. Hawaii’s going to be very good for a while. Kaela was born in Maui and really enjoyed her trip here and Sunday’s senior night. All four know each other, either playing together or against each other. should help them acclimate.
