The Captain Strikes Again Adding Five To The Coverage Club

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>After surviving the Prep Dig MO/KS Stock Up Showcase and the KSHSAA Coaching School, Captain Conan flexed his muscles and did a data dive to see which prospects in need of coverage.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Here are five under-covered prospects in Kansas welcomed into Conan's Coverage Club.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='523408' first='Samantha' last='Klotz']</strong>, 5'9”, OH, Royal Valley, ‘25</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Arguably the most under-covered prospect in the Kansas Class of 2025 is Royal Valley's Klotz. The talented attacker is verbally committed to play for Division II Central Missouri State. The Jennies are adding a small school talent who has been overlooked for various reasons. Although her HUDL highlights have not been updated since her sophomore season, she has a long reach and hits the ball with authority.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='173388' first='Maren' last='Carter']</strong>, 5'10”, DS/L, St. James Academy, ‘25</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Carter has not been featured since early January. She is an athlete who had a solid club season for [program_tooltip program_id='430200' first='KC' last='Power'].  Prep Dig had Carter listed as an outside hitter, but her most recent club highlights feature her as a back-row player. She makes consistent first passes in that package but is an athlete I have yet to see in person.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='222106' first='Carlyle' last='Johnson']</strong>, 6'1”, MB, Collegiate, ‘26</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Johnson is an athlete getting looks from Division I college coaches. She is currently ranked No. 18 in the class of 2026 Prep Dig Kansas Rankings. Johnson was last featured in April in a report on athletes who increased their position in the rankings. She finished 279 kills as a sophomore and is just 43 kills away from 500 halfway to the 1,000-kill threshold. She plays club ball for Shockwave and will be expected to be a leader in the attack game for Wichita Collegiate.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='516231' first='Alexis' last='Moore']</strong>, 5'10”, MB, Ellsworth, ‘26</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Moore is still an unknown prospect in many ways. I have yet to see her play in person and have not been able to locate her on social media. Moore did have a dominant statistical season last fall for the Ellsworth Bearcats racking up 352 kills in 82 sets. She does have a HUDL account, but I am unaware of what club team she competes with or if she plays club ball. She was last featured in January and is ranked No. 48 overall in the class of 2026 rankings.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='550573' first='Amelia' last='Wilhite']</strong>, 5'11”, OH, Gardner-Edgerton, ‘27</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Wilhite will be a prospect I hope I get to see play this fall or next club season. She does not have any stats from her high school season on public sites. She does have some video from club ball on HUDL. She looks long and has a smooth approach.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
