I caught a couple of her touches on some heat and caught myself saying, u0022wowu0022. Her floor awareness sets her apart and she will have many options in the future due to her volleyball IQ. Another area she stood out was with her second ball sets when the setter was out. The ones I witnessed, she was flawless.","_player_evaluations_2_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_3_player":["320724"],"_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":"Dye is a high-energy player who doesn't let up on any play.
