Stocks to buy for the upcoming 2020 AVP season

Stocks to buy for the upcoming 2020 AVP season

The coronavirus may be decimating the global and American stock markets, but one place you won’t find its impact is the annual SANDCAST Beach Volleyball Stocks to Buy.

This week, as we did in 2019, Tri Bourne and I broke down the top up and coming prospects of the season as our stocks to buy this year. I’m only writing about 10 – five men, five women – so to find the rest, you can listen to our podcast, which also answered fan questions, discussed the new partnerships being formed, and talked a little college volley.

Men’s stocks to buy

Miles Partain

How good is Miles Partain? He already has his own emoji among the beach volleyball community. He's emoji good. You can always identify when Partain is at a practice, as any video of him playing will include the baby emoji, referring to him as “baby Miles,” whereas Miles Evans would be the not so baby Miles. Baby or not, the 18-year-old UCLA recruit’s fifth-place finish in Chicago was no fluke. He’s spent the off-season training with the USA Volleyball groups, and has been called up into similarly high-level practices when he isn’t.

Andy Benesh/Eric Beranek

By now, I’m sure you’ve seen the Beranekquake that’s gone viral on social media, the one where he takes a back shoot set from his new partner, Benesh, and pounds it somewhere to Mexico. Granted, there was no defense, and their only tournament to date ended with a second in Treasure Island to Raffe Paulis and Ricardo, but this is a young, up-and-coming team with loads of potential and, better yet, dedication. They have a coach and what appears to be an organized, productive off-season heading into what could be a breakout year for both.

Kyle Friend

Last year was Friend’s first as a defender, and it was also the best of his career. After relieving himself of blocking duties, he scooped up Duncan Budinger and qualified in five of seven tournaments, tying a career-high ninth in Austin. Like Partain, Friend has been a regular in the USAV training sessions, and with a year of defending under his belt, his ceiling is only getting higher. Whether he gets pulled up by a bigger blocker or must begin again in the qualifiers remains to be seen, but he'll be a regular in the main draw this year.

Dave Palm

Palm alas made his AVP breakthrough last season, a much anticipated one after winning five NVL events and making an additional seven finals in four seasons. He and Dylan Maarek, who’s also having a terrific off-season, qualified in Hermosa Beach, stunning Chaim Schalk and Jeremy Casebeer in the second round on stadium court. He’s already straight into AVP Huntington Beach after winning Big Shots in Atlantic City this past fall with JM Plummer, another notable to watch this season, so he’ll have a big stage at the beginning of the season.

Steve Roschitz/Pete Connole

Connole had only won two AVP qualifier matches prior to last season. Then came New York, when, as the 20 seed in the qualifier, Roschitz and Connole engineered upsets over Andy Benesh and Adam Roberts, Maddison and Riley McKibbin, and Kyle Radde and Brad Connors. So quick was their improvement that by the end of the season, it’s possible that none of those wins could be labeled as an upset. They were straight into Manhattan and qualified again in Chicago, making more main draws than Connole had previously won qualifier matches.

Other notables:

DR Vander Meer

John Schwengel

Tim Brewster

Branden Clemens

Kevin Villela

JM Plummer

Ben Vaught

Logan Webber

Chris Austin

Earl Schultz

Jake Urrutia

Silila Tucker

Kacey Losik

Women’s stocks to buy

Kelly Reeves/Terese Cannon

I’m big on this team this year, in large part because I think a breakout has been due for Kelly Reeves for a few years and it seems the pieces are coming in place for it. In just four events together as partners, the two have already logged a third at the Manhattan Beach Open, where their only losses were to Alix Klineman and April Ross and Melissa Humana-Paredes and Sarah Pavan; a ninth in Hawai’i; and a silver medal at the Siem Reap two-star. That is a heck of a start to a partnership that has upside, youth, hunger, and a strong all-around skill set.

Corinne Quiggle/Falyn Fonoimoana

Putting too much weight in early results can be a dangerous thing to do sometimes. The honeymoon phase is a real thing. But sometimes they can also be promising indicators, and the two NORCECAs that Quiggle and Fonoimoana have played were won in nearly flawless fashion, with just a single set dropped, and that includes the qualifiers they needed to play as well. Heading into 2020, they’ll both benefit from a full season as professionals under their belt and an entire off-season of training together.

Geena Urango/Emily Hartong

If I had any money to bet – I don’t, because weddings are expensive – and there was someone to take my bet on a team this season this would be the one. Partly because a tumultuous year would have driven the price of the Urango-Hartong stock way down, and therefore the value has the potential to jump quite high, but also because this is just a legitimately really good team that can do loads of great things.

Urango’s been in multiple finals. She knows how to get it done. Hartong was still adjusting to the beach (and snow, and four-on-four) last year, and she still more than doubled her prize money from 2018. I don’t think they’re ready to win an AVP just yet, but it wouldn’t be a surprise to see them making a push to a Sunday here and there.

Traci Callahan

Want to know why I believe in Traci Callahan? Because Mykel Jenkins, Tri Bourne’s trainer, believes in Callahan, and he hardly believes in anybody. When he compliments someone, it’s a very real, genuine compliment, and he was enamored with Callahan’s work ethic. She spent her off-season working with Evie Matthews, and was rewarded with a fifth at the Siem Reap two-star with Crissy Jones, where they beat eventual gold medalists Sara Hughes and Lauren Fendrick. This is just the start for Callahan.

Crissy Jones

Speaking of Jones, she’s an easy one to peg for this list. Currently a graduate student at her alma mater, Cal Poly, Jones was one of the most delightful stories of the season in 2019, making one heck of an end-of-year push with Zana Muno (she’d be on here too, but I don’t know if they’re playing together, and Muno's stock is already awfully high). A third in Hermosa Beach was followed by three consecutive top-10 finishes, all of which preceded the aforementioned fifth place in Cambodia.

Other notables:

Delaney Mewhirter/Katie Spieler

Megan Rice

Katie Hogan

Mackenzie Ponnet

Zana Muno

Molly Turner

Carly Wopat

Tory Paranagua

Jon Alvarez, Volleyball Life, and ”volleyball people doing cool things for volleyball”

Jon Alvarez, Volleyball Life, and ”volleyball people doing cool things for volleyball”

Jon Alvarez is the founder and CEO of Volleyball Life, the leading tournament software in all of beach volleyball, running more than 3,000 events in 2023 alone – a 70 percent increase from 2022. But Volleyball Life is more than that – much more. It’s one of the top resources for college coaches to scout juniors, as it has an extensive database of nearly every junior player in the country, his or her results, rankings, points, and anything else you’d want to know. It has been fun to watch Volleyball Life take over, expand, and build a virtual monopoly in the business. The conversation extends to far more than that, however, as we chat about: Alvarez’s career as a player, which spanned more than 30 years, and why he always looked at it as a way to make connections, not main draws How Volleyball Life has been a vision of his since 1993, when he literally handwrote the logo he’d be using 30 years later How Casey Patterson saved beach volleyball in 2010 The explosion of grassroots volleyball around the USA – and the numbers to prove it And much, much more.

Trevor Crabb is always taking receipts. Now he’s literally cashing in

Trevor Crabb is always taking receipts. Now he’s literally cashing in

Trevor Crabb has won more AVP tournaments than any player in the last five years. And yet…people still bet against him. And people are still being proven wrong. Crabb made good on his $500 wager that he’d beat Andy Benesh and Miles Partain the next time he and Theo Brunner played them. That next time came in the finals of AVP Chicago, which makes Crabb and Brunner tied for first in wins on the AVP this season, second in points per event in the USA Olympic race, and proving people wrong, as always. On this episode of SANDCAST: Beach Volleyball with Tri Bourne and Travis Mewhirter, we chat all about those bets, as well as: What it was like for Crabb when Bourne dumped him for Chaim Schalk The dynamic of Bourne and Crabb’s friendship after the breakup Why he thinks defense is “so much easier than blocking” What this year has been like with Theo Brunner, and why they’ve been so good And much more!

The 3X NCAA Champion Nourse Twins have ”nothing else but to be themselves”

The Nourse Twins – Audrey Nourse and Nicole Nourse – are three-time NCAA Champions as starters as USC, something no other women’s program has ever done at Southern Cal. Now, as fall season gets underway, they’re looking for an unprecedented fourth consecutive National Championship. We chatted all about their success as USC, as well as: Why they decided to flip their commitment from Stanford to USC What the culture is like on a team that included an Olympian (Tina Graudina), AVP champions (Julia Scoles and Hailey Harward), consummate winners (Sammy Slater) and World Champions (Delaynie Maple, Megan Kraft) The mental side of the game, and why getting a sports psychologist at age 16 has been huge for their development and success What it was like for the NCAA Championship to come down to their court, and why it all felt so…normal And so much more.

Andy Benesh: The blocker who is helping to revive USA Beach Volleyball

Andy Benesh: The blocker who is helping to revive USA Beach Volleyball

Andy Benesh is the most improved beach volleyball player in the world in 2023. Entering this season with Miles Partain, Benesh was seeded third in the qualifier of a Challenge. Now? He and Partain are the No. 1 ranked team in the United States, and No. 3 in the world. His climb has been extraordinary, and exactly what USA Volleyball needed after the retirements of Jake Gibb and Phil Dalhausser. On this episode of SANDCAST: Beach Volleyball with Tri Bourne and Travis Mewhirter, we talk all about Benesh’s breakout season, including: What has led to his blink-and-you-missed-it improvement in 2023 How he and Miles Partain have had at least “75 hours of debate” on their offensive and defensive strategies and vision His breakout win at the Gstaad Elite16 – where he and Partain beat Anders Mol and Christian Sorum twice in the same tournament The process of adding the jump-set to his game, and why being comfortable with failure has led to so much success And much, much more.

Road to Paris No. 11: If you’re not jump-setting, are you even trying?

Road to Paris No. 11: If you’re not jump-setting, are you even trying?

This episode of the Road to Paris follows the Hamburg Elite16, an event in which every single men’s medalist – Sweden’s David Ahman and Jonatan Hellvig, Italy’s Paolo Nicolai and Sam Cottafava, Norway’s Anders Mol and Christian Sorum – has added the jump-set to their offense, not to mention fifth-place finishers and master jump-setters Miles Partain and Andy Benesh. The women’s side is a touch different, as world No. 1 Ana Patricia Silva and Duda Lisboa need no trickery, nor do silver medalists Kristen Nuss and Taryn Kloth and German bronze medalists Cinja Tillman and Svenja Muller. Travis Mewhirter covers all of those medalists and jump-setters, as well as: Kristen Nuss and Taryn Kloth becoming the new No. 1 USA team in the Olympic rankings Ahman and Hellvig jumping up 10 spots in the Olympic rankings in the past two events The Brazilian women’s race being all but set in stone, despite it being early in the race George Wanderley and Andre Loyola gaining control of the Brazilian men’s race And much, much more, including a Waiakea explosion and a funny interruption from Siri or Alexa.
