We have been paying close attention to Gillispie’s progress for a couple of years. She has always showcased her physicality and athleticism that is her quickness and lift off the floor. As a 17U for OPVC’s top team, she has increasingly become more polished and efficient that makes her a primary threat for this team that has good potential to compete with anyone given her presence and the other strengths they have among her teammates. At 6’0 and touching 10′, Gillispie has an even bigger ceiling to her game to build on the tools she has already grown so well.

Waller complements Gillispie in the middle so well for OPVC 17 Day. She has good size at 6’1 and is fluid in her movement in all phases on both sides of the ball. What she might lack in the lift by comparison to her teammate, she makes up for it by her preparation and the efficiency in her movement to get to good lift of her won. She gets to vertical well when blocking with good hand penetration, while on offense she works well in transition to make herself available, which includes big momentum build to be able to terminate with control and power off of one foot overhead of the setter.

At 5’11, Vackert is impressive with her arm and ability to score points with good authority. She is one of the more versatile attackers in this class and is proving her value well through the first half of the club season with her point scoring success through a variety of locations and options. Vackert can score with power and range from both pins with skills to be able to run middle-tempo quick options around the setter for equal success. She is a key part of a corps of net offense and defense for her Black Swamp team that can next be seen at the Windy City Qualifer at the end of this month.

Nation
OH
The Florida commit and Legacy prospect is a big impact on the court with her ball control and defense. Her overall effort and presence is a big reason for her upward movement in these recent rankings. At 5’9, she reads the floor well and reacts with quickness and efficiency in her first step to be able to create good court coverage. You can see Dzienny and her team compete in Chicago later this month.
Brianne Habeeb

Habeeb is another high quality DS/L prospect in this class, which is a position that has good depth across the state. At 5’6, she is a key factor for her teams with her defensive skills that include good balance in her preparation and quick reactions to get her angles into good position for a quality dig and offensive opportunity. She stays well engaged throughout point flow and can pursue in all directions with equal success and impact. She competes for a top high school program at Gilmour Academy that resulted in an average of 20.6 digs per match in 2023.
