a while back, I mentioned that I had a friend who was 16 and had a vertical over 42 inches.

now, he is 18 and his vertical is over 46 inches, he is redshirting on the Hawaii volleyball team (won national championship a few years ago), even though he's only played for around four years.

people said i didn't have any idea what i was talking about - go look at the picture, he's 5'11, maybe 6'0 at most. This is a year or two ago, so he gets higher now.

sometimes genetics matter :P

he should come play basketball with us next week, maybe i'll shoot some footage of him dunking on people. it's almost unbelievable to watch him - it's like he has springs on his shoes or something.

was that standing or running?

For some reason I doubt that was standing...

Impressive none the less....


but why is he redshirted? I men a verticle like that should put him as a starter?

I am sure he is being red-shirted due to nexperience. Jumping in volleyball is just a start :)
