DOOD just go in the gym twice a week separated by at least two days rest, and start with 4 sets of 6 depth jumps, then head to the squat rack and do 3 sets of 8 squats, the next week do 4 sets of 6 squats, the next week do 5 sets of 4 squats, the next week do 7 sets of 2 squats... should give you at least 4 inches within a month...I'm 5-6 and can grab the rim no problem, could barely grab the net 6 months ago.

By the looks of it you will get a lot of improvement from increasing relative strength levels.Lift.LOL.Learn

First, how much do you weigh? What's your approximate body fat %? How close are you to dunking? How much do you squat? If you're not dunking already, chances are you will need to increase your strength. Don't worry too much about calf exercises right now, they won't do much for your vertical anyway. Best advice i could give you is work on your parallel squat, and look around on this forum or google for Kelly Baggett's 'Vertical Jump Bible' for everything you need to know.
