USA GJNC Showcase Session II – Top Performers Vol 3

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>We are super excited to partner with USA Volleyball once again to run the official college recruiting showcase for the USA Volleyball Girls Junior National Championships. &nbsp;The second session was held on July 7^th at the Mandalay Bay Convention Center in Las Vegas, NV. &nbsp;The one aspect that sets our showcases apart from every other one in the country is how we offer coverage, before, during, and after it is completed.&nbsp; This series of articles will discuss those special players that stood out for various reasons to our court coaches and scouts.&nbsp; They have won our prestigious Top Performer award.&nbsp; Let's meet the winners!</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='523942' first='Piper' last='Pease'] [2028] 6-1 Right Side (HS: Smithson Valley/Club: Alamo/Verbal: Uncommitted)</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Piper is currently an unranked prospect in the 2028 Class according to our Prep Dig Texas State Rankings, but that is only because we have not released them yet.&nbsp; She plays volleyball at Smithson Valley High School and now will play for the Alamo volleyball club after just having a wonderful season with San Antonio Elite. &nbsp;Miss Pease and her skills are screaming “I Got Next!” The talented lefty has an enormous amount of power in her strong upper body.&nbsp; She is a prototypical lefty right side who can hit for power and block at a high level.&nbsp; Her down swing creates a lot of force that is channeled into the ball at the point of contact.&nbsp; As an attacker, she can score through the block if given a seam, around the block on a nice cut shot and also throttle the line when she rotates her upper body in mid-air.&nbsp; I love everything about her game and how she plays with confidence and poise.&nbsp; After re-watching the footage of the showcase a few times, her game play really stood out to me.&nbsp; I loved how multiple court coaches mentioned her name to me in their notes.&nbsp; This tells me that she truly stood out due to her skills.&nbsp; We will be watching her very closely and you should also.&nbsp; Remember the name!&nbsp; Please help us congratulate her on earning a Top Performer award.&nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='569581' first='Cecile' last='Novembre']&nbsp;[2027] 6-1 Middle (HS: Harbor/Club: SAND City/Verbal: Uncommitted)&nbsp;</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Cecile is currently an unranked prospect in the 2027 Class according to our Prep Dig California State Rankings.&nbsp; She plays volleyball at Harbor High School and club for the SAND City volleyball program.&nbsp; Miss Novembre played a huge part in her court winning a ton of points during the showcase.&nbsp; From what we saw with her skills at the showcase, she is fully capable of playing multiple positions along the net at a high level.&nbsp; What truly stands out is her ability to swing block and get well over the net to seal it away from would-be point scorers.&nbsp; Her long reach is one of the many weapons that she possesses in her arsenal.&nbsp; This young lady has a fire inside her that shows when she plays this wonderful game of volleyball.&nbsp; I have a feeling that she can switch to an outside full-time has her back row defense and ability to score from middle back is elite.&nbsp; There is no reason why this young lady should ever be off of the court on any team she is on.&nbsp; She will definitely be added to our official watch list at the next time that I update the State Rankings.&nbsp; We will be keeping our eye on her and you should as well.&nbsp; Please help us congratulate her on earning a Top Performer award at the showcase.&nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='526557' first='Sydney' last='Rincon']&nbsp;[2028] 5-8 Setter (HS: Sierra Canyon/Club: CITY/Verbal: Uncommitted)</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Sydney is currently an unranked prospect in the 2028 class according to our Prep Dig California State Rankings, but that is only because we have not released them yet.&nbsp; She plays volleyball at Sierra Canyon High School and also for the CITY volleyball club program.&nbsp; Miss Rincon has everything it takes to be one of the next great setters to come out of California.&nbsp; As a young setter, she possesses the ability to deliver to every location with precision over and over.&nbsp; I like how the ball comes off of her hands so smoothly and accurately.&nbsp; You can see from her eyes how she processes the game mentally and keeps an even keel with her demeanor.&nbsp; That kind calm will go a very long way in keeping her team's composure focused and strong.&nbsp; The way she jump sets the middle will have college coaches drooling with what that can do to opposing defenses.&nbsp; Her frame will continue to get stronger and taller, which will make her even more dangerous.&nbsp; I strongly suggest you start watching her game now because she will be a star very soon! Please help us congratulate her on earning the Top Performer award for this showcase.&nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Stay tuned for more articles on your favorite athletes that excelled at the showcase.&nbsp; If you have anyone you think we should watch out for, please shoot me an email with some info at <a href="mailto:Michael@prepdig.com">Michael@prepdig.com</a>.&nbsp; Also don't forget to help these kids get more exposure by sharing our stories with your friends.&nbsp; Help us help them by simply retweeting on Twitter or sharing on Facebook.&nbsp; Thanks for following Prep Dig Family!</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
