Volleybox has Dimi’s spike reach at 367 cm which is 12ft. Finn is listed at 345 cm and he stands at 6-5 Dimi is only one inch taller than Finn but jumps 22 cm higher than Finn.
Finn is a quick jumper and has a hammer. I hope he can pick up a few inches on his vert in the next couple of years.

I think it’s best if Finn take Charlie’s suggestion to heart and move to OH. Titriyski is on a full ride, there is NO way he is siting on the bench. Then you have a guy like Kainoa, who has prototype OPP size and is tall and long. It will be good move for him since being a lefty OH have it advantages. It will also allow him to get to the next level quicker. Unless you have like a 48 inch vert, being a 6-5 probably won’t cut it at the highest level. Where is the evidence that Titriyski is on a full ride? Also tbh his having a fully funded scholarship doesn’t necessarily mean he’s a shoe in to start. It could just mean that financially, he was one that could only come IF it was fully paid for, and everyone else was interested and able to do partially funded scholarships. I think if the staff wanted him enough and had the means for One fully funded, then that’s more than normal in men’s college volleyball to move the numbers around.

Lost his starting spot after hitting negative in the semifinals. Doesn't look like a natural OPP, not enough height IMO. I think he's switching to OH. koavball mentioned that Charlie told him if he wants to succeed at the pro level he needs to work on his serve receive as they want him to play OH, because of him being undersized at Opp. But Hawaii had Brooke Sedore at Opp years ago, he was 6'5. They even used Johann Timmer at 6'6 [b Height can be subjective. As players who are an honest 6’3” barefoot, are often listed as 6’5”. This does not discredit their skill or ability. Finn Kearny is not 6’5” barefoot, maybe 6’3”. Again, actual height does not discount what they can achieve. But the wiggle room of adding a few inches on paper does create a false sense of security. Point being, Get them on the court and see what they can do regardless of a few inches to spare.

I swear I read it somewhere when he signed. I remember him saying he accepted a “full scholarship “ to play for Hawaii. I’m just relaying what I read. That’s why I had this on my mind. He could have misunderstood the offer or he is on a full ride but took it off and chose not to make it public. I noticed on his IG where he has the Hawaii logo and he announced his signing, it was edited 12 weeks ago so maybe that was where I read it and he edited that post. www.instagram.com/kristiantitriyski/

And I know he directly didn't post that he is on a full ride. It was posted by the PK Recruitment IG page that he's on a full ride all 4 years. http://instagram.com/p/C4gXfnOsIoM

Roure has an ig story that is too small for me to read. Anyone with better eyes and the necessary tools to post the full article and translation? It says something about living the "American Dream"

It says something about living the "American Dream" I screenshot it and then used text translate function on my phone, but the translation is weird. Thanks for posting! Will be interesting to see if he really plans to stay just 3 years. Here's another try at the translation: Volley The American dream of Adrien Roure Trained in Francheville then at Asul, where he played alongside Pole France for the last two seasons, Adrien Roure will join the University of Hawaii where he hopes to continue his great rise. So far, he hasn't wasted much time. First on the sporting level: trained in Francheville, he joined Asul three years ago, quickly moving to Pole France in Montpellier with consecration during the summer of 2023 and a title of U18 world champion with the blueberries. Academically, he’s not bad either: the baccalaureate a year early and a first year in business school, even though he turned 18 in March, in English speaking mode, just to familiarize himself with his future destination. It was in fact during the 2023 World Cup that the University of Hawaii, which regularly wins the American university championship, spotted and recruited the Lyon receiver-attacker. “When you are young, the place is definitely a dream. It will be a good way to continue my studies while continuing high-level volleyball and enjoying my youth,” explains Adrien Roure, during his last visit to Lyon. Where he was with his friends from Asul finalist of the Coupe de France U18 and elected Best Striker of the competition. “The goal will be to be pro in Europe.” This last French season was therefore beneficial for Adrien who played League B with Pole France and returned once a month to Lyon to compete in the Coupe de France. “With Pole France, we play in League B and we have the second best season in the history of Pole, with eight victories and a strong backbone of the French team, U18 world champion, where we know each other by heart.” In the United States, where he’ll leave for a 3-year lease while he completes a bachelor's degree in business, Adrien will discover the university championship where the level is comparable to that of League B here. After that? “There is no professional championship in the United States, so the goal will be to be pro in Europe. We will see if it’s necessary to go back to France or if I can directly join one of my two big dream championships: Italy and Poland.”

I read somewhere the some European countries do not have university that also compete in high level volleyball. You have to either study for your degree or play volleyball at club level.
US offers the opportunity to both get your degree and play high level volleyball at the university level. I don’t know how it work in France but I did read some past international kid pointed out that in his home country he had to choose. Coming to America allowed him to do both and was an attractive opportunity.

Same with Asian and South American players. You see quite a handful of national players both on the men's and women's side take part in the FISU World University Games, the biggest international event for university student athletes. This last year's University games held in Chengdu, China. Some of of Italy's players currently playing week 3 in VNL participated in this event and won gold. Poland's side has less familiar NT members, but are all Polish League players. When the players go to serve it shows what university they are students at.

It's an extension of HS where you go to school there and have the school's name plastered across your chest with your fellow students cheering you on. A big pride thing. Pro volleyball is a Business so it's more of work than having fun.
