Five Nike Classic 17 Premier Prospects to See

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='733609' first='Makayla' last='Meister']</strong> | Buckeye 17 National Black<br>Meister could be on of the best attackers in this 17U division at this event. She is 6'1, athletic with good physicality, and can bring big power. Her versatility as an attacker is impressive as well as she moves well in her approach work through a variety of tempos and locations. Her length also benefits her defensively as she has great tools in reading and reacting to get quality touches. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='624903' first='Neenah' last='Burton']</strong> - OH | [program_tooltip program_id='430852' first='Tri-State' last='Elite'] 17 White<br>Burton is an effective 5'7 pin hitter with good athleticism and ability to take big swings when needed. Upon completion of the fall high school season, she has amassed nearly 500 total kills with her best season in 2024. A 1st team all-league selection in the Greater Miami Conference, her career best 2.8 k/s was matched by a career best 64 aces and 7.8 d/m, indicating the well-rounded skills she has in multiple phases of the game. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='742364' first='Railynn' last='Bowman']</strong> - OH | CYVBC 17 Black (*pictured)<br>The 5'10 pin hitter is coming off a big high season for Edgewood, her best effort of her varsity career. She had 283 total kills for a 3.7 k/s average, good for a top-10 finish in the league and earning her a 1st team all-SWBL honor. What is noticeable about Bowman offensively is that she has a high follow through and finish upon contact that helps her challenge the top of the defense well at the net, and when she gets her feet to the ball on balance she can swing with good arm speed and pace.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='759635' first='Lilly' last='Woolums']</strong> - S | NKYVC 17-2 Tide<br>Woolums is a 5'9 setter with a great opportunity once again to lead this team that features some quality arms and should represent NKYVC well as the club's 2nd 17U squad.

Her footwork timing when on the move gets her on balance so she can deliver a quality option for her attackers either direction. With 922 total assists, she led the ECC earning all-conference honor for her effort.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Keatyn Haynes</strong> - DS/L | PVC 17-1<br>A 2nd team all-league honoree in the LKC this past fall, Haynes is a steady libero prospect.
