Funny story. One of the senior editors thought Carlos was hot and she's the one that pushed to put him on the cover.

Funny as that may sound about her thinking Carlos is hot, she is not alone. We watched him play at Pepperdine in January and he literally had droves of people around him. Tons of kids wanting his autograph and people wanting to shake his hand. AND flocks of girls with cameras wanting to take pictures with him. He was patient and spent probably 45 minutes after the game with his fans. I imagine he gets new female converts to his fan club wherever he goes. I wonder what his girlfriend thinks about that. Yes, he does have a girlfriend. She is from Brazil as well.
To her credit, at least the editor picked arguably the top player in the country to do the story on. To his credit, his mug on the cover will probably sell magazines this month.

He may be hot, but he is also cocky and from what I've seen emotional.

If he is cocky he has reason to be. I have watched him throughout his college career, attending at least half his matches both at home and on the road. He expects perfection out of himself and gets after himself when he makes a mistake, which isn't often. I would use the word confident over cocky because he expects more out of himself. I would like to know what makes you say cocky. Does he brag? Have your heard him? His English is still very rough so you must speak Portuguese.
Emotional??? Who isn't in this game? What is wrong with being emotional in a game that feeds off of emotion? Do you attend the games? If there was no emotion I wouldn't be a fan. How about Pena from UCLA, Barreto from Lewis, Azenha or Delgado from Hawaii, or Touzinsky from LBSU? They are some of the best in the country and extremely emotional. Emotion is a friend to any game where competition is fierce.
Also, to clarify the "hotness" comment. about Carlos and how he got on the cover this month, I have recently been in correspondence via email with Mike Miazga (Editor in Chief) and he chose Carlos for this month's cover story. He said he chose him because he is the best at what he does and he has an interesting story to tell with his upbringing and deep volleyball roots. If you haven't read or heard anywhere, Carlos's father captained and was the starting setter over a span of 4 olympic games for the Brazilian Olympic team. I have read and heard many times that his father is to volleyball in Brazil what Pele is to soccer. That is quite an honor.

Red Yukon, I've only seen carlos in action a few times and passion is a good thing. I love to watch Fabiano and others like him play because of their passion. However, when I have seen carlos make a few errors and he has been pulled out, he goes and pitches a mini fit on the bench. Last year at the final four, they did a piece on Carlos and I'm sorry he just came across very cocky and they constantly called him the best setter in the nation, but I really didn't see where he did anything special or that other setters didn't do. He was just better looking than the other ones. haha ....well maybe that does make him the best setter....haha..just kidding. It was just my opinion.

you are right about the marketing. Look what they did with the whole David Goliath thing.
But, also in america......we all know that above all the talent in the world...sex sells....tell me that didn't have something to do with putting Carlos on the cover...did you see that picture?

My favorite cover was July 2003, that's a good cover haha. I definately miss Miller's face on the court and the whole team misses his blocking. I think that is the biggest problem Lewis has right now is the blocking....I could be very wrong, but they don't get very many blocks, anymore.

He said he chose him because he is the best at what he does and he has an interesting story to tell with his upbringing and deep volleyball roots. I don't fabricate anything. Think about it. Would Mike admit to a fan that indeed the cover was chosen because Carlos was hot? He would never admit to it, because then someone would come on here, and attribute his name to a quote. Not smart, but I know Mike and he is smart. There are ladies that are senior staffers there. The story was merited because of his accomplishments. Carlos getting the cover though had some other factors attached to it and influences other than Mike. |

My first semester at BYU was back when Carlos was a freshman. Some girl had me give him her number after a match. It was about the third week of the season. His English was rough and it seemed he couldn't believe some girl wanted him to have her number, but he already had 4 in his hand.
Everyone thinks Moreno is hot. They have thought so since he stepped into Provo. It makes it easy to find girls to go to the games with.

the first picture on the cover is flattering, the second, he's just an average joe. I've seen better and honestly would rather see action shots on the front cover. That's more fun.
