<p>We put a bow on the 17th annual TI Showcase from a week ago with seven players from two classes that really showed out in front of college coaches and yours truly. Listed below are the athletes, their heights, their positions and where they go to school.</p>

<h2>'25 [player_tooltip player_id='193007' first='Jasmine' last='Glenn'], 5-6 OH, Lawrence North</h2>
<!-- /wp:heading -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>I start with one of the smallest pin attackers because her attack touch is 9-8 RIGHT NOW. In my eyes, Miss Glenn was one of the most athletic kids in the entire gym, regardless of graduating class. I like that she's a full-go, no-quit type of player who can hit from either pin and adjusts well to different types of sets. Really impressed with her ability to go get a ball, attack high, and make blocks obsolete.</p>

<h2>'25 [player_tooltip player_id='254823' first='Adri' last='Hamilton'], 5-8 RS/OH, Westfield</h2>
<!-- /wp:heading -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Appearing longer and leaner than her 5-8 frame implies, I list Adri as an attacker from either pin because of her ability to hit multiple angles for points and her solid ball control. I would have liked to see a little more all-around game from her, so I'll reserve judgment until a see a little more of her in game-like action. No matter what I see, however, she's got the basic foundation of skills mastered; it's just a matter of refining for the collegiate game.</p>

<h2>'25 [player_tooltip player_id='172345' first='Skylar' last='Kritzmire'], 5-10 OH, Roncalli</h2>
<!-- /wp:heading -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>With a great combination of ball control and volleyball acuity, Skylar is easily projected to be a six-rotation passer for someone starting in the fall of '25. Yet another kid who appears taller than her frame suggests, her natural IQ in the sport is indicative of a Roncalli athlete.</p>

<!-- wp:heading -->
<h2>'25 [player_tooltip player_id='157945' first='Carson' last='Bowling'], 5-11 MB, Trinity Lutheran</h2>
<!-- /wp:heading -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>With high-pressure matches a regular occurrence in high school, Carson is an excellent option to be an M2 at the next level. Any set in front of the setter can be terminated, and she hits all of the angles with pace that most blocks struggle to slow down. Bottom line, Carson is a strong and confident middle that should be a great addition to any roster in 2025. She </p>

<h2>'25 [player_tooltip player_id='254825' first='Kennedy' last='Horn'], 6-3 MB/OH, Columbus North</h2>
<!-- /wp:heading -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Kennedy is a two-sport stud that has something that cannot be taught---size. Her 9-9 attack touch and ability to make blocks irrelevant are the two attributes that carried her on this day. Tucked away about 45 minutes south of Indianapolis, Miss Horn will be a steal for someone in the fall of '25.</p>

<!-- wp:heading -->
<h2>'26 [player_tooltip player_id='254826' first='Makenzie' last='Creviston'], 5-10 MB/OH, Greencastle</h2>
<!-- /wp:heading -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Another kid tucked away into a small town and unnoticed on the recruiting radar thus far is Makenzie, a high flyer (9-7 attack touch) that can play a solid M2 or possibly be a pin attacker a the next level. She was an immediate plug-and-play option in the postseason for her high school team, and should see a little more of that high-pressure level of ball in the near future. I hope to see more of this young lady in the spring to track her progress.</p>

<h2>'26 [player_tooltip player_id='254827' first='Lydia' last='Stahley'], 6-1 OH/MB, Roncalli</h2>
<!-- /wp:heading -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>A second Roncalli Royal mentioned on this list, Lydia is the opposite of Miss Creviston---I could <em>easily</em> see colleges looking at Lydia to be pin attacker at the next level. She's fully capable of playing any position across the front row for three rotations. I'm hoping that her club training will have her be a bit more specific on <em>where</em> her club coaches need her most. And did I mention she's already attacking above 9-6?</p>
