Her technique and ball control stood out from the start and during the match-like drills it was possible to see how well she uses them to run her offense. Sampson did a very good job of using all of her hitters and was probably the most accurate and precise when it came to integrating the middle back set into the offensive system. She also showed good production from the service line and when playing defense.","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-64be85b686818"} /--> <!-- wp:embed {"url":"https://x.com/Samantha_vb2026/status/1682854769772093447?s=20","type":"rich","providerNameSlug":"twitter","responsive":true} --> <figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter"><div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper"> https://x.com/Samantha_vb2026/status/1682854769772093447?s=20 </div></figure> <!-- /wp:embed --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["437737"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"Rud was easily one of the most powerful hitters on the court on Saturday. Very strong and physical, she displayed a potent and efficient offense, which combined power and excellent decision-making. A very complete hitter, she did well on the left and the right, displayed some interesting resources on both sides and was always very confident, continuing to swing after mistakes. Rud was also solid with her passing and defense and will be a very good option for Cy Ranch in the upcoming high school season.","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-64be85b68688b"} /--> <!-- wp:embed {"url":"https://x.com/grtorres/status/1682806377381523456?s=20","type":"rich","providerNameSlug":"twitter","responsive":true} --> <figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter"><div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper"> https://x.com/grtorres/status/1682806377381523456?s=20 </div></figure> <!-- /wp:embed --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["340360"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"Trevino was a well-known face after the last club season, but it was fun and interesting to see her in a different environment. Her energy on the court was the exact same as always, giving everything in every single point and pushing her teammates up and cheering them after every play. Her ball control was spot on all day long and she did well defensively even when faced with some of the most powerful hitters of the showcase.

She was excellent in the hitting drills, combining excellent footwork and a quick and heavy right arm and maintained the high level as the event progressed.

She worked with all sorts of hitters and adjusted to each of them seamlessly, displaying a very high volleyball IQ.
