<p>I get more excited each time I look at the list of players we have set to attend the Prep Dig Minnesota Stock Up Showcase on Saturday. Not only will we have Maggie Miexl from Hamline University running the show but M1 should be hopping with excitement. We have some athletes coming off big club seasons and heading into what could be their breakout high school seasons. I've seen some of these athletes competing anywhere from Minneapolis, Milwaukee, Kansas City, and Chicago. </p>

In her upcoming high school season I could see her filling a number of roles including helping [player_tooltip player_id='177425' first='Olivia' last='Wagner'] with setting duties while also giving [program_tooltip program_id='430430' first='Lakeville' last='South'] another big weapon from either pin. Bjorklund could actually be a really dominant attacker or set all the tempos. She can put up a big block or play gritty defense. She is definitely one that needs to be on the college radars.","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_1_player":["231729"],"_player_evaluations_1_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_1_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_1_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_1_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_1_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_1_evaluation":"Boelter is a libero with solid and consistent passing technique. She reads attackers and does a really nice job creating the best platform angle. Boelter takes care of her corners as a middle back defender or owns the middle of the court as a wing defender.","_player_evaluations_1_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_2_player":["187402"],"_player_evaluations_2_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_2_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_2_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_2_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_2_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_2_evaluation":"Brandl is an uncommitted 2024 setter with all the tools to play at the next level. I had her pegged as a up-and-comer when I saw her at my first Prep Dig Minnesota Showcase. I've had limited opportunities to see her recently so I'm definitely excited to see how she's been developing!","_player_evaluations_2_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_3_player":["191429"],"_player_evaluations_3_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_3_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_3_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_3_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_3_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_3_evaluation":"Carr is a dynamic recruit out of the 2025 class. She was a top weapon for [program_tooltip program_id='430430' first='Lakeville' last='South'] last season and could potentially raise her stock even more this season. Carr does not hesitate to hit the ball from a number of different angles and tempos to get the kill.

She doesn't make the big flashy plays but she takes care of the second contact religiously. NL 14-1 took the AAU Open Championship this year and players like Cotton make that happen. She has length and can play above the net to move the ball quickly from pin to pin. She has a lot of great intangibles and I can wait to see how she's grown since May.","_player_evaluations_4_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_5_player":["203826"],"_player_evaluations_5_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_5_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_5_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_5_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_5_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_5_evaluation":"The class of 2027 will have some really tremendous setters to choose from if you couldn't tell from this article alone. DeBoer is silky smooth and will be attending with some Kandi and Wilmar teammates. DeBoer can run a 5-1 and moves really well on the court. She's got the intangibles that help her teams succeed and help her come up big in the clutch moments.","_player_evaluations_5_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_6_player":["261262"],"_player_evaluations_6_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_6_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_6_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_6_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_6_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_6_evaluation":"Johnston caught my eye this past December at our Top 250 Expo.

I'm not sure if she's gearing up for a move to the pins for high school or a more permanent change in scenery. Keaveny has the drive and experience to play at the next level and she still has a couple years of prep time.","_player_evaluations_7_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_8_player":["230417"],"_player_evaluations_8_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_8_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_8_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_8_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_8_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_8_evaluation":"I saw a tremendous increase in Keaveny's location consistentcy over this past club season. Her release has always been quick but her footwork and finish have improved as well. If she keeps up at this rate she could be helping Mayer Lutheran to a trip to the X this November.","_player_evaluations_8_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_9_player":["230756"],"_player_evaluations_9_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_9_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_9_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_9_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_9_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_9_evaluation":"I last saw Kratochvil at the Class AA Showcase last fall and she was an attacker that knew how to generate points for her team.

Kratochvil may be one of the gems that has been flying under the radar for college coaches so far.","_player_evaluations_9_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_10_player":["261248"],"_player_evaluations_10_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_10_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_10_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_10_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_10_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_10_evaluation":"I caught Kusnier playing in Kansas City at the Show Me Qualifier and this attacker knows how to approach and take a huge rip.
