Emerging players and new names are things that I like to see when it comes to viewing different athletes in different environments. These young athletes all thrive differently, and being able to watch and follow these athletes is interesting as they find and develop into their strengths and wiggle through any of their weaknesses.
Katelyn Rossini

Rossini
RS
Grant | 2024
State
IL
– OH/
Sky High
Rossini stands at 5’10” and what stood out to me most is here ability to have a strong punch and follow through on her swings. Fundamentally, Rossini has what it takes to be a strong athlete, but with more and more focus on the foundational training and development she is not that far off. Rossini is a new name to my ears and getting her grounded and familiar though she is in the 2024 class is important, as it is not too late to get found by the right team.
Tatum Mutnansky– S/Eichs
Mutnansky has the potential to be a star player and on the rise to being an elite player as well. She stands at 5’5″ and with being apart of the class of 2025 she has a long way to go and we just have to keep cheering her on as she continues to grow as an athlete. When watching Mutnansky at the Illinois Top 250 showcase, it was very interesting to watch her as she navigated her way into some of the drills and managed to make way with the skills that she already knew and picked on. When it comes to her serving, there can be some fundamental training, though she has a solid form already and it doesn’t hurt to help to clean it up even more. She is fresh on the floor and already starting off her career in the right direction.
Alexandria Goritz– DS/L/ Top Flight
Goritz is yet another athlete that has the potential and is a new face when it comes to the club scene. Goritz caught my attention when it came down to her performance during the positional breakdown during the Illinois Top 250 showcase. Goritz has a very soft touch to her sets and sets up a new live ball which benefits her team. Fundamentally, she is very well trained, as well with the set foundation that she came into the showcase with. I can say that during the showcase, she managed to take some of the key takeaways that were being broken down to her positional groups and applied those during her 6 on 6 game matches, which makes her a coachable athlete and that is something that is very important when it comes to this playing field. Goritz is a member of the class of 2025 and is off to a great start to her career.
