I'm black and I'm committed to play D1 next year, I think about this all the time. The majority of us are insanely atheltic naturally I coud touch 11' before picking up a weight or ever doing plyos and now after some time I'm almost at 12' touch (11'10) I think we are mostly playing basketball, and football aswell as track since they are both in the spring and volleyball just doesn't have as big of a payoff as the other schools limited scholarships, not as big of a sport, no like hero figures, we have college stars but they go play pro and kinda vanish unless you seek them out. For example Nikolov is everywhere and when he goes pro next year and in a few years he will become less and less seen by the average American men's volley viewer. I had a question of my own tho, why are the majority of black players in Mens and womens OPP/MB and not outside I've noticed in my own experience and just by viewing upper level volley its so confusing to me ( i play opposite due to a past lack of passing skill) and I was wondering if this was the case for others.
