Club Preview: ’21s at Team Indiana
In this article:
<p>First off, my apologies to the players and parents from Team Indiana. During my time here at PD, I’ve prided myself on being as prepared and thoroughly studied as possible. Most, if not all, of the players I talk about in my articles (including those at TI) I’ve seen play in person. </p>
<p>Short answer: this is an unfortunately late article about kids (or in this case, one kid) being able to play at the next level. Always has been, always will be. I am not the be-all, end-all for college-eligible players, but this is my own fault for not getting this out sooner. </p>
<p>Here are the five class of 2021 players, where they’re playing next fall, and who still needs a home for the fall of ’21.</p>
<p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id="85706" first="Elizabeth" last="Phillips"], OH, Arkansas State</strong></p>
<p>Probably the best athlete of the bunch, Miss Phillips has a state championship trophy in her case from 2019, and is a high-flying, thumping outside that can attack from either pin. I love how easy she makes it look.</p>
<p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id="85712" first="Sydney" last="Aguirre"], OH, Binghamton</strong></p>
<p>Finally! Someone in Indiana has signed to a school near where I’m from, upstate New York. Another Division I player from TI, Sydney is a six-rotation outside that plays smooth and controlled and has all of the shots in the book. Her defense is solid as well, and should transfer a lot of her talents to the America East conference to have a chance at immediate playing time.</p>
<p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id="108473" first="Madison" last="Beaver"], RS, Goshen</strong></p>
<p>I list her as a right side because of her ability to block and the strength and confidence Madison shows when attacking from the right pin. She could play either pin for Kourtney Crawford, second-year coach and former high-level right side at the University of Indianapolis herself.</p>
<p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id="85717" first="Regann" last="Jessee"], MB, Midway</strong></p>
<p>Regann brings some much needed size to the Eagles, as they graduate one six-footer and only had two others on the 2020 roster. Miss Jessee hits high and hard, and uses her length to her advantage on net defense. She should see playing time immediately for the 17-7 Eagles in the fall.</p>
<p><strong>Caitlyn Murphy, S, unsigned</strong></p>
<p>The lone unsigned player from the class of ’21 for TI is a smooth and steady setter from Brownsburg that locates the ball well and is easy to coach. Her ability to get to balls passed poorly is her strength, and turns out-of-system balls into hittable balls for her attackers. Capable of running a 5-1 or a 6-2, Caitlyn can also provide defensive help in a pinch.</p>
<p><em>Up next for TI, the deep and talented class of ’22.</em></p>
