rado was put on preliminary 25 man roster for Bulgaria for the VNL this summer
if he gets any playing time and does well, i can see bulgaria telling him to come home in prep for 2020 olympics
he has a devastating serve, and could be valuable as a serving sub also

Also, this opens up things at OPP for Humler.

Rado is too one-dimensional as a hitter. He will get shut down by the international block until he develops some versatility in his shot selection. He should take the opportunity to develop his hitting against the NCAA teams, get a degree and then look at pro/international volleyball if he's so inclined.

What he does is what he does, if he wants to develop the other parts of his game that needs improving, he'll stay in Hawaii to learn and develop as a starting player. Or if being a starter doesn't matter because he just wants to play a small role as a member of the Bulgarian team, then he can leave early. I think leaving now would be short sighted, because if he plans to play pro ball, he'll need to build on his existing hitting and blocking skills by continuing to train under Coach Milan Zarkovic whose resume includes over a decade of national team coaching experience (Belarus and Serbia NT). Adding to his playing repertoire now, would give him the needed growth, experience and time to mold him into a future starting caliber Bulgarian NT player or at least into a decent professional player.

Whose to say that the Bulgarian national team coach will do a better job of coaching him up than Milan who has coached successfully on that stage for over a decade? Whose to say that he'll be receiving much individual coaching once he makes a pro ball club as a substitute or a role player? I think he could use the one year he has left to fully develop his overall game as a starter on a national championship caliber team with the help of a coaching crew (including the Worsleys) that helped groom him into a 1st team AA.

Milan is a fine coach, but you are vastly over-stating his technical impact (and in particular, compared to international play). Besides, I thought it was the Worsley camp that did wonders for Rado.

Well what a coincidence, there's a guy that plays for Hawaii named Gage Worsley that made AA as a first year starting libero that happens to be Rado's dawg! Wonder if there's a connection?

I thought the Worsley camp just improved Rado's footwork and helped him lose some weight. No one said anything about his hitting technique and repertoire.

Are we really speculating about Parapunov transferring and why it would and would not benefit him? LOL, geez. Gonna be an amusing offseason.

The question is whether he will leave early for either the Bulgarian NT (if he makes the cut) and/or pro ball. I said it was his decision and whatever he wants to do is peachy with me because, you know, it really is his decision. The other doofs said he should stay because he has more volleyball to learn.

I said it was his decision and whatever he wants to do is peachy with me because, you know, it really is his decision. The other doofs said he should stay because he has more volleyball to learn. What happens to his education? 1. He could get a degree for super cheap in Europe anytime he wants. 2. His salary for one year professionally in Europe would most likely be a lot higher than tuition at Hawaii so future degree would end up being even cheaper. 3. It's Hawaii, it's a decent school but not a Stanford or top UC school where argument could be made that staying for the education would be worth it. I think he should stay, he has a decent chance at winning a title while living in Hawaii and getting a degree. But financially and maybe career wise, going pro is smarter. Anyone trying to say they know what he should do is wrong because you're not in his shoes and are not HIM so how can you know what's best for HIM. He's shown nothing that makes me think he will leave but I can't fault him if he does.
