Nebraska 2027s On the Cusp of Joining the Rankings (Part 3)

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>There's always room for more.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>We've been exploring a list of athletes who are poised to be the next entries to our <a href="https://prepdig.com/nebraska/rankings/2027-rankings/">Nebraska 2027 rankings</a>. <a href="https://prepdig.com/2024/08/nebraska-2027s-on-the-cusp-of-joining-the-rankings/">Part 1</a> and <a href="https://prepdig.com/2024/08/nebraska-2027s-on-the-cusp-of-joining-the-rankings-part-2/">Part 2</a> have already been published, but why not make it a trilogy? This class is stacked.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>So, here are a few more names to ponder as we complete this deep series.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["458362"],"_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":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-66c1154c3bcd1"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Capece found multiple ways to contribute to Premier Nebraska 15 Black's outstanding 2024 season. The Omaha Marian prep athlete carried a strong six-rotation presence and was an indispensable part of the passing pattern. Capece could also bring the heat from the front row and was lethal in the crosscourt. This versatile outside hitter was an early entry on our 2027 watch list after she stood out on the Prep Dig Circuit. She has kept rising since that event.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["591554"],"_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":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-66c1154c3bd3e"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Big late-season impressions have placed Grossart on our list of potential rankings risers. She had several breakout performances at the Great Plains Region Bid Tournament as South Central NE secured its spot at Nationals. Grossart seized her moment in the spotlight and showcased her quick arm on the outside. This small-town talent is also a stout blocker with an innate ability to read opposing setters. Hidden gems are finding their way into the Nebraska spotlight.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["521156"],"_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":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-66c1154c3bd88"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Premier Nebraska 15 Black gets another one. Jacobson was 15 Black's defensive leader throughout 2024 and put together so many brilliant weekends in the libero jersey. It started with her team's NLQ triumph, which quickly secured 15 Black's trip to Las Vegas. Jacobson thrived against top competition and wasn't afraid to dig serious heat into the crosscourt. This fearless attitude will help her embark on a rigorous Class A schedule with Millard South.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["443105"],"_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":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-66c1154c3bdcc"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Meints is another spectacular athlete who has risen through the Prep Dig Circuit. Her recent performance at the Stock Up Showcase left a lasting impression after she was similarly successful with Nebraska Juniors. The Beatrice native hits with tremendous power and can pair that with steady first contacts. We're due for a fascinating fall season from this rising sophomore.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["499001"],"_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":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-66c1154c3be0e"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Phillips locked down the net for Nebraska Elite 15 Revolution. She saw some early freshman reps with Millard South but had her big breakout in the 2024 club season. Her terminal swings in front of the setter were a major part of 15 Revolution's in-system offense. From NLQ onward, Phillips's continued growth has us eager for more in Year 2 with the Patriots.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["465410"],"_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":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-66c1154c3be5d"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Pick is turning into one of Nebraska's most compelling small-town prospects in the 2027 class. She tallied nearly two kills per set with Ponca and carried that momentum into the club season with [program_tooltip program_id='429192' first='MVP' last='United']. She completed this steady ascent with a great outing at last month's Stock Up Showcase. Pick could become Ponca's go-to scorer this fall, which would easily assure her spot in our next rankings.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["458183"],"_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":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-66c1154c3bea0"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Here's one of the signal-callers from that vaunted Nebraska Elite 15 Revolution squad. Snider's setting wasn't the only skill that caught our attention during the club season. She was also a game-changing server who turned matches around in NLQ's high-pressure environment. That development could allow Snider to find situational roles with Omaha Westside as the Warriors chase another tournament appearance.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["521233"],"_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":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-66c1154c3bee1"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Backcourt defense was always a strength for [program_tooltip program_id='428743' first='VCNebraska' last=''] 15 Black. Twarling had a big influence in this area and could adapt to any spot in the starting rotation. Her libero reps were particularly impressive, and Twarling passed a large chunk of the court and picked up tips with ease. Her trip to Nationals was a success, and we're eager to see what her prep career will bring at Norris.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->
