As a Prep Dig Scout, we love seeing all this talent in one gym and I found myself saying “wow” several times during the expo. Let’s see some of the reasons why.
Bostley was putting on a clinic at the net and owning the net like a pro. It didn’t seem to matter if she was on the offensive or defensive side of the ball. She has a high contact and fast swing with a lot of power moving through the ball. Bostley reads well which helps her see the play develop. She has a ton of power but I see her toolbox growing each time I see her play.
Highlights
Finnessy is another player that has always hit with a really heavy arm but I really like how her game has evolved over the past year. She was taking out of system balls and finding corners and working angles. Finnessy also put up a big block and can pass with the best of them.
Hansen is a super smooth operator with great hands and a fast release. She can run a super fast offense that leaves opposing blockers breathless trying to keep up. Hansen is smart and savvy with a consistent jump set that is hard to predict. She seems to know exactly what each hitter needs and she is a fun one to watch in action.
I caught myself saying “wow, where did she come from?!” Jacobson moves so well along the net to close blocks and then her fast footwork take her to approach and you see her get a nice high reach. She seems to get on top of the ball every time and she just rips on the ball. Jacobson makes pounding a ball look easy peasy with her huge vertical and explosive arm swing. She is a must have on every college coaches radar.

Donofrio was getting a great defensive touch on the ball every time Irnseemed to turn in her direction. She has a lot of potential with a natural ability to read the serve and create a consistent platform angle. Donofrio was impressive to watch on defense with a relentless and gritty pursuit of the ball.
Hoeksema wasn’t holding back at the showcase and I was so happy to see it. She was taking some monster swings on the ball and proving to be a top prospect. Every time I see her play she’s better than the time before and that makes her really exciting. She can put up a big block and she takes big swings on just about anything sent her way. Her stock definitely went up for me this weekend!
