GCU vs USC Men's Volleyball 2023 

agh man that play was so satisfying

Awesome play,,never seen like this before

DOesnt seemlike a flex because he does it multiple times I think it just throws the other team off

Could’ve been expecting a tempo set rather than a 4, but he got MAD hops to make up for it

definitely early, but also definitely built different. he jumped high af

Getting top comment will not stop a man like me

Real

Noice

Ayy

Oh honey sorry I fell asleep, what did i miss?

I was gonna say this is my first time seeing him and he looks very good

I mean he was the #1 recruit of his class

Man I really wanna go pro in volleyball as well but I'm 5'6

smart play from the setter to set him and get him going

Lol

Barely ?

@@unosumill3 Barely in this case is more relative. Usually a net violation is glaryling obvious. I had to rewatch it to see what even happened.

Yea the net moved

It is disrespectful acting innocent when being caught by the referee.

i was hoping to see a comment like this. kid has bunnies

Hawaii always do the slides🤣

Slide is not popular at all in the men's game. Hawaii started using their middle a few years ago on the slide and a lot of school uses them to diversify their attack option now.

@@forme3h He's not referring to the slide by itself. The setter jumps while twitching making them believe he's gonna swing on two and gives the middle a free slide with no blockers. So yes insane.

I remember thinking that too as a freshman, and back then the players in college were so much better than the players now. I was looking at players like Micah Ma'a, Kofi Gyimah, James Shaw, Michael Saeta, Scott Stadick, and several others. Then reality hit...

@@Tam3603 don’t let this guy dictate your life, keep chasing that dream, you got this!

@@carsonedits2005 Thx

You can do it!

Cuz it was

Not quite on the same level but 21 on USC can fly pretty good too

It’s called a ‘lift’ in volleyball. Yes i agree with you. Looks like a lift to me, hence the reactions of the crowd

On the team's first touch as long as it's one attempt it doesn't count as a carry/lift

@@seattlesportshighlights9046 exactly this. Doubles are also called more leniently on the first touch because you only have so much control when passing a hit. Most of the time if you do a light double on first contact it will be a disadvantage for your own team cause you didn't control the ball properly.

Usually if you contact the ball below chest height and your contact is longer than just the impact it will be a lift. For example you try to push the ball up with two hands when it's level with your stomach that will be lift 99% of the time but also if it's a slow ball and instead of bumping it on impact you end up "throwing" it with your platform. It also all depends on how strict the ref is and what level you play. At the low level only the most extreme examples of a lift will be called as such.

@@seattlesportshighlights9046 The first contact is allowed to be a double. Lifts are a foul everytime.

Same. All I know is he's UC alum. I think UCSB? Either way, my mans travels the country for this and its kinda amazing.

Insane how patient his arm and swing was, very good player and mechanics

His feet were half a foot below the net! Quite the jump

might be a lift but I don't think do, a lift would be lower, but it might be because of how long it was in his hands and how far back the ball went in his hands

my bad GCU dude *

do u know why they’re playing two libs for gcu?

@@calebt Yea teams usually play 2 libs because one of the liberos is better at serve receive while the other libero is better at floor defense

you know his @ by any chance?

@@joshprospero oh interesting. so 22 is the defense and the other lib is serve receive?

i thought the rule though is that you can only do one swap per full cycle of rotation, which is normally for middles. so wouldn’t that be a swap every single rotation?

It didnt interfere with the play

^^^^

@seattlesportshighlights9046 rules are rules but that a clear carry
