With the updated rankings comes updated availability. There are plenty of setters still available for a fall of ’22 placement in the state of Indiana. Here are five you should already know. [player_tooltip player_id="101318" first="Kylie" last="VanHoy"], 5-10, Evansville United, Loogootee Being a volleyball stud at a small high school requires a few traits. And by a few, I mean ALL of the traits. In her time at Loogootee, she had to run an offense, block, play defense, attack from everywhere and, in a few cases, receive serve. A little of everything was required, and a little of everything is what she gave. Now that we’re more focused on one position for Kylie, she is a natural setter that can run a 5-1 in a pinch. Her defensive capabilities are also above average for setters in this class, and has known nothing but winning at all levels of play. [player_tooltip player_id="85829" first="Kelsey" last="Smith"], 6-0, Grand Park, Hamilton Heights From due north of Indianapolis by about an hour comes a natural athlete that can run a 5-1 AND attack at close to ten feet if needed. By playing on a "regional" squad her entire club career, she’s flown under the radar, and will be an absolute steal for someone who is highly coachable, highly athletic and highly competitive. Long and lean, she can go get the tight passes and block just about any left side that opponents throw at her. [player_tooltip player_id="118189" first="Payton" last="Rolfsen"], 5-11, Empowered, Leo Athleticism for days and a volleyball IQ through the roof is what you get from Miss Rolfsen. Her smooth transition from defense to running an offense is quick and precise, and she knows exactly whom to set at the right moment. She’s not flashy, not a "look-at-me" type of player or person, Payton is more of a physical leader and is relentless regardless of the score. And, in a pinch, she can attack as well. [player_tooltip player_id="118190" first="Abby" last="Marks"], 5-9, Silver Creek Nearly 2000 assists and hundreds of kills later, Abby can be a 6-2 or a 5-1 setter at the next level, since she’s been doing the very same for the last three seasons at Silver Creek. She’s as athletic as she is smart, and always seems to put her team first for all decisions on the court. I’m unsure of her club status at the moment, but it will be updated once I have that information. [player_tooltip player_id="103331" first="Maddie" last="Kmetz"], 5-9, Michio Chicago, Andrean How is the four-year starting setter for the defending 2A state champ not committed? She’s already destroyed the assists record at Andrean, surpassed 2500 assists soon after, and plays one of the toughest club schedules on this list. She can run the 5-1 show any time for any level of play, and if I’m not mistaken, will make an appearance at our PrepDig 250 Showcase this Sunday. She can do it all, mostly because she already has been doing it all. It should only be a matter of time before she’s committed somewhere.
