pro volleyball in EuropeDavis is scheduled to leave for Germany the first week of August to meet his agent, Tim Kelly, in Europe. Kelly, a former UCLA player, sponsors a European tour in late August that includes matches against prospective clubs to give U.S. athletes exposure to the European clubs.
Davis, an All-Mountain Pacific Sports Federation performer, could sign a contract to play with a German club before he leaves Hawaii. If he doesn't sign, Davis will tour with a team comprised of other U.S. athletes looking for the same thing.
"It's still kind of tentative right now," Davis said. "I'm leaving it in Tim's hands. I'm going into it blind.
"If I do well, I'll have my choice. I may sign before, (but) I don't think I'll sign unless it's a really good offer."
