S3E4: Euro Talent, Hawai'i Insider, Building a Program From Scratch
About this episode
We argue whether the surge of European players lifts the NCAA at the expense of USA Volleyball, then turn to how culture and community create lasting power. Devin Young’s hire at Pacific sparks a blueprint for rebuilding fast with Europe, the portal, club stars, NIL, and storytelling.
• tradeoffs between international recruiting and USA athlete development
• whether the NCAA should test international roster caps
• why Hawaii’s culture creates stars and traveling crowds
• tapping Asian American and LGBTQ+ communities to grow attendance
• Devin Young to Pacific and what a smart rebuild looks like
• balancing portal veterans with freshmen and overlooked club talent
• NIL as targeted investment plus content and transparency
• analytics and NCVF as market inefficiencies to exploit
