Twenty-Four To Watch in 2024 - Part 2

Let's keep looking at more available prospects who could be great additions to a college program.    Mendelblatt has the wingspan and high reach to do some serious damage at the net. She is balanced and versatile since I've seen her attack from every position in the front row. Mendelblatt does a good job protecting the net and terminating with smart shots when needed.     Passow is a smart and resourceful middle. She has a solid game IQ and doesn't seem to over specialized. Passow keeps her spacing at the net and has good vision of the court no matter where she is taking swings from.     Barnett is a springy outside that knows how to swing down the line or place a soft roll into the middle of the court. She isn't afraid to use the blockers hands to score or gun for the deep cross corner. Barnett is a weapon that can be utilized no matter where she is on the court.     Grande can terminate from either pin with a mix of power and shots. I could see her stepping up for Providence Academy this fall and work her way into a strong six rotation player by club season. She was a power house for Crossfire this past club season and I expect to see that carry over.     Jensen doesn't shy away from taking an aggressive approach to the ball. She is a master at going for the deep court and using the blockers hands. Jensen sees the block and reaches high to work over it. But if she sees a blocker late to get in front of her she speeds up her armswing and takes care of business.     Beckman has a nice high reach and quick snap on top of the ball. She could be the anchor in the middle that will not only protect the net but also terminate. Elk River will need to see a new setter rise and find a solid connection with the likes of Beckman in order to find some success.     Hansen takes an aggressive approach and gets in the air quickly. She can run a slide approach and she has her head on a swivel when she's at a net. Hansen gets a nice high contact and she could be adding depth to Eagan's middle and right side this fall.     Wiese is a springy pin hitter and she can take a solid swing from either side. She also puts up good block that can be deceptive to try to work around. Wiese will definitely provide some depth to the Prior Lake roster this fall.     Terhune is like a hidden gem. She has such a high contact point that she can direct the ball over just about any blocker put in front of her and if you leave some space she will expose it with a fast swing. Terhune can work angles and get in the opposing attackers head with her stifling block.     Dahlen does such a good job of taking care of her corners as the middle back defender. She consistently creates a solid first contact for her team to keep the play going. I also love that she is consistently getting her hips below the ball when she is making big defensive plays.     Rolfsrud is smooth when it comes to pass to attack. She does a great job with her footwork and focuses on the pass first. Rolfsrud finds the blockers hands and works the edges to create even more issues for the opposing defense. If you put up a single block she will likely pick an angle and destroy the ball.     Peterson has been making some huge plays in the recent matches I have seen. She is lighting fast with her reactions and will get a hand on every tip made to her half of the court. Peterson fights to protect her deep corner and is an active communicator.
