Azenha commits
to WarriorsThe Hawaii men's volleyball team might have to add learning the samba to its list of things to accomplish this season.
Already full of international flavor, the Warriors have received a verbal commitment from Brazilian Pedro Azenha. The 6-foot-5 outside hitter will join Hawaii this fall.
It will be crowded on the court next season at the outside hitting spot with senior starters Costas Theocharidis, Eyal Zimet and Tony Ching returning. Add sophomore Jose Delgado to the mix and competition for playing time will be cutthroat. Azenha should be able to vie for a spot, too. He graduated from high school four years ago and has spent most of his time with the Brazilian youth national team.
Azenha joins Fab 50 picks Matt Motter and Jeffrey Kim who have already committed to UH. Motter is a 6-5 outside hitter from La Costa (Calif.) Canyon High, Volleyball magazine's prep national champion team. Kim is a 6-3 outside hitter from San Jose, Calif., who competed with a Hawaii club team.
