Keonilei Okana transferring

[djlhuskerfan]

Wow didnt expect this!

I guess Hames does have a significant role going forward next year. You always wonder if the team knows about moves like this in advance or not. Akana was a favorite of mine, and her story is so compelling. Best wishes for future success.

 

[Red Corn]

I hope she finds that for which she is looking. She will be missed. Best to you, Keonilei, and thanks for the great volleyball.

Wants to play libero, which aint happening at NU

 

[TFrazier]

Sad to see her go but Nebraska Volleyball will be fine.

This may not be the worst thing in the world (in the grand scheme of things), but it was the saddest news of the day for me. :Frown::Cry:

Yeah that girl could serve her butt off. Man she hit that ball

 

[MParker]

Very sad. I think she could be a libero anywhere but here. I also think she underestimates her role and importance to the team. She won't find better facilities, treatment, or support elsewhere. Still, if she is unhappy . . .

 

[Full Husker]

Keonilei, thanks for being a great team member. Good luck with your next team. I will not be surprised if it is the same school where your brother commits for football, probably on the West Coast.

She wants more time on the floor

 

[djlhuskerfan]

I have to wonder if Nicklin Hames staying another year affected her decision?

I doubt it too much, she seems to want to play libero and Rodriguez isn't giving that position up anytime soon.

Agreed. Not enough NIL $?

Wow. She goes to a good team. It will be interesting to see how they use her. Sorry to see her go.
