Hard-Working Middle Blockers Highlight #PDTop250ExpoNE

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Middle blockers got their share of reps at Nebraska's Top 250 Expo.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Positional distribution varies from one showcase to another. Some events feature a large proportion of pin hitters, while others go heavy on the defensive specialists. Middle blockers may have been outnumbered at Saturday's showcase, but that small quantity was offset by some extraordinary quality.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Today's feature honors the handful of Nebraska middle blockers who were incredibly active at the Nebraska Top 250 Expo.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["497413"],"_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-67594e2f4decf"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Janssen has logged some impressive performances on Nebraska's biggest prep stages. She led her Crofton High School team to a state tournament appearance in 2023 and nearly accomplished the same feat this fall. Janssen's length and terminal ability were nearly unmatched at Saturday's showcase, and we still have another year to watch this small-town star thrive. Look out for her Nebraska Power club team in 2025.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["730540"],"_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-67594e2f4df2a"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Krasso brought an exceptional combination of physicality and versatility to last weekend's showcase. Although she is primarily a middle blocker, this Omaha Bryan standout also demonstrated her pin-hitting prowess in our expo's situational drills. Krasso's multi-sport impact with Bryan will lead to a busy spring season while representing [program_tooltip program_id='428728' first='River' last='City Jrs'] 18 Red on the club circuit. Playing up a year will not stop this rangy athlete from standing out.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":[452566],"_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-67594e2f4df73"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">This was not Roger's first appearance on the Prep Dig Circuit, and she picked up right where she left off from prior showcases. The Wilber-Clatnoia sophomore was an attacking asset in front of the setter during team drills and positional work. Roger is building off a prep campaign in which she compiled triple-digit kills and represented a Wolverine squad full of underclassmen. This middle blocker will inevitably trend upward as she pivots toward the upcoming season with [program_tooltip program_id='428717' first='Nebraska' last='ONE'].</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":[521183],"_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-67594e2f4dfb7"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Eck is one of many exciting 2027s rising the Premier Nebraska pipeline. She will soon embark on her spring season with Premier 16 Red and is ready for the club grind based on her showcase performance. Eck's quick, fluid motions allow her to easily close blocks from pin to pin. The Millard West standout can also apply this strength to her slide attacks, which scored on several occasions during six-on-six action. Omaha-area 2027s keep finding ways to expand our watch list.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["572011"],"_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-67594e2f4dffc"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Banzai VBC is coming off an exceptional 2024 season and can build around players like Bass for future success. This Papio South freshman made an early case for our 2028 watch list after exhibiting a broad skill set at our Top 250 Expo. Bass has a knack for generating positive block touches at the net, setting up her teammates for transition opportunities. You can also expect Bass to get plenty of those transition sets on quick tempos. We're due to learn a lot more about Bass and her 2028 counterparts during the upcoming club campaign.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":[566265],"_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-67594e2f4e047"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Here's a 2028 who got a headstart on our recruiting radar. Froehlich was a key contributor to this year's young Gretna team and helped the Dragons clinch a Class B tournament berth. She was also a high-profile performer in the Premier Nebraska gym and will carry the banner for Premier 15 Gold in 2025. Froehlich's tireless effort and natural ability will make her a surefire addition to our first 2028 watch list, and last weekend's showcase output served as a stark reminder.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
