Robust ’25 Right-Side Hitters from Six Pack Invite

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>It's up for debate, but there might not be a tougher position to fill with quality than right-side hitter. One thing is for sure, the good ones really stick out. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>That certainly was the case at last weekend's Six Pack Invitational played on the campus of the University of Northern Iowa. These right-side hitters did just that: </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["215389"],"_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":"Perhaps no player in the state has improved more than Maue has during the last few years. She's a problem on the right side for her opponents with a huge lefty swing carrying high-end power. The Arkansas commitment has advanced her court vision to complement her natural gifts, understanding when she can blast through the block and when to smash it across the court to an opening or at an overmatched defender.","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_1_player":["215742"],"_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":"Wazac is a player that improves each time I watch her in person. Like Maue, she provides her teams with an intimidating lefty swing on the right side. She's expanded her game during the last year, showing she can deliver on the outside pin, too. The Wichita State commitment possesses long arms and good timing, allowing her to defend well at the net. She's still a ways away from hitting her ceiling, which should be exciting for the Shocker volleyball fans.","_player_evaluations_1_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_2_player":["215432"],"_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":"I watched Mehaffy play a few times during the prep season for Marion and was impressed. She put together a consistently good performance in this event, too. She times her hits well and gets good depth on them, creating problems for opponents trying to stay in system. While the right side is her best position, she also hits it with gusto from the opposite pin. She's a fundamentally sound player, too.","_player_evaluations_2_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_3_player":["215760"],"_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":"Ragins provides Iowa Select with an accomplished performer on the right side, showing an aptitude for crushing the ball or blocking it when it's coming the other way.

She's not as tall and doesn't have the long arms of those two, but she makes up for that with her explosiveness off the floor. She uses a keen eye to direct her hits away from blocks regularly and sharp court vision to find holes in the defense. I think there's more room for Overton to grow as a player, which is exciting considering how productive she is already.","_player_evaluations_5_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_6_not_in_database":["not_in_db"],"_player_evaluations_6_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_6_player_details_selected_featured_image":"","_player_evaluations_6_player_details_selected_featured_image":"field_62cca28ffa4e7","player_evaluations_6_player_details_player_name":"Landry Glasgow","_player_evaluations_6_player_details_player_name":"field_62aba4c9ecf2f","player_evaluations_6_player_details_graduating_class":"2025","_player_evaluations_6_player_details_graduating_class":"field_62aba4ddecf30","player_evaluations_6_player_details_height":"5'9u0022","_player_evaluations_6_player_details_height":"field_62aba4e8ecf31","player_evaluations_6_player_details_position":"32925","_player_evaluations_6_player_details_position":"field_62aba4f0ecf32","player_evaluations_6_player_details_school":"Dallas Center-Grimes ","_player_evaluations_6_player_details_school":"field_62aba4fdecf33","player_evaluations_6_player_details_club_team":"Iowa Impact ","_player_evaluations_6_player_details_club_team":"field_62d20e723441a","player_evaluations_6_player_details":"","_player_evaluations_6_player_details":"field_62aba4afecf2e","player_evaluations_6_evaluation":"Glasgow is an accomplished all-around athlete for Dallas Center-Grimes.
