Her length cannot go unnoticed by anyone who watches her ball, however she has a lot of attributes other than height that LSU fell in love with.&nbsp; Her lightning quick arm swing is one that stands out to me when I watch her demolish a ball near the three-meter attack line.&nbsp; Not many can match up with her high touch point nor her speed of attack.&nbsp; What I love about Farmersville's offense is how they spread her out in the “three position” to attack the ball.&nbsp; When they added that spacing to go with her touch point and arm speed, very few middles could slow her down.&nbsp; Then when they ran her out of different locations during serve receive, it added a little more aggressiveness into their scheme.&nbsp; We are proud to have her listed in the State Rankings.&nbsp; Please help us congratulate her on the special achievement.&nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='301836' first='Farah' last='Farooq']&nbsp;[2023] 6-1 Middle (HS: Episcopal/Club: [program_tooltip program_id='431166' first='Houston' last='Juniors']/Verbal:&nbsp; Uncommitted)</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>We are proud to announce that Farah has been added the rankings and is listed as the 60^th best overall prospect in the 2023 class according to the Prep Dig Texas State Rankings list.&nbsp; She plays for Episcopal High School and also for the [program_tooltip program_id='431166' first='Houston' last='Juniors'] club program.&nbsp; Miss Farooq is a high-flying member of the ten-foot club meaning she can touch ten feet high in the air with her approach jump.&nbsp; Formerly of Willowbrook, volleyball club, this young lady provides a ton of power on every swing I have ever seen from her.&nbsp; What is super special about her play is her amazing footwork.&nbsp; While everyone will be in awe of her upper body, I fell in love with the way she stays balanced during her block and also the way she stays on the balls of her feet when in transition and during her approach.&nbsp; It keeps her super quick and dangerous in every route.&nbsp; I strongly suggest that every coach who needs a solid middle take this name down and put her on your short list.&nbsp; Please congratulate her on earning a spot in our prestigious State Rankings list.&nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>As always stay tuned for more articles on your favorite athletes.&nbsp; If you have anyone you think we should watch out for, please shoot me an email with some info at <a href="mailto:nov8vb@yahoo.com">nov8vb@yahoo.com</a>.&nbsp; Also don't forget to help these kids get more exposure by sharing our stories with your friends.&nbsp; Help us help them by simply retweeting on Twitter or sharing on Facebook.&nbsp; Thanks for following us, Prep Dig Texas Family!&nbsp; Don't be afraid to interact with us.&nbsp; We love the likes, shares, and quotes/comments.&nbsp; Keep them coming!</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
