Showcase Standouts Surging into Nebraska 2028 Watch List (Pt. 2)

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>How about a few more?</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Yesterday, we highlighted a few athletes who used <a href="https://prepdig.com/2025/01/showcase-standouts-surging-into-nebraska-2028-watch-list/">last year's showcases</a> to stake their claim in our initial <a href="https://prepdig.com/nebraska/rankings/2028-rankings/">Nebraska 2028 watch list</a>. That feature only scratched the surface of that talent pool, so we're back for a sequel.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Many of these 2028s first entered the spotlight at The Volleyball Academy in La Vista. Months later, these freshmen have remained on an upward trajectory and should be impact players in the club season. The journey has just begun.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["575242"],"_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-6779fe84aea5e"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">We had many Premier Nebraska 15 Gold representatives at last year's expo events. Bartholet appeared at our freshman showcase in the summer and was a steady attacking force on the right side. The Skutt Catholic prep athlete gets off the floor quickly and is not afraid to challenge any blockers in front of her. Bartholet's crafty shots made her a go-to opposite at the 14s level with Premier Nebraska, and the same storyline will likely prevail in 2025.</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-6779fe84aeac1"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Bass gives us some Banzai VBC influence for this feature. This hardworking athlete put in plenty of quality reps at our Top 250 Expo and shined as a middle and an opposite. Middle blockers were outnumbered at that event, which allowed Bass to churn out highlight moments as a frontcourt mainstay. We were drawn to Bass' quick footwork in transition and her ability to terminate whether in front of the setter or behind. Watch that range flourish during the club season.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["730560"],"_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-6779fe84aeb08"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Beran is the kind of versatile defensive specialist that has made Premier Nebraska so successful in recent club seasons. She can don the libero jersey and take full command of the backcourt, but we've also seen Beran embrace a role as a substitute in the middle-back area. Regardless of which zone she's patrolling, Beran has a stable platform to deliver quality passes to her setter. A new journey awaits with Premier Nebraska 15 Red.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["575227"],"_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-6779fe84aeb53"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">The Yutan-to-Nebraska Elite pipeline is still going strong. Daniels was a key piece of the Chieftan attack last fall and primarily played on the right pin. Her ability to see open spots on the court helped expand Yutan's balanced attack en route to another successful season. Daniels also has a strong blocking presence that matches up well with any left-side attacker in front of her. Look for all these traits to come together at Nebraska Elite this spring.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["575228"],"_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-6779fe84aeb96"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Fabrikant's moment on the Prep Dig Circuit came at last summer's freshman showcase. She wielded her snappy arm swing along the net but was also a serve-receive asset in passing drills. This left-side hitter played on some big stages during the 14s campaign and was a "glue" player in a six-rotation capacity. More gains are expected with Premier Nebraska 15 Silver in 2025, and Fabrikant will remain a focal point of the team's game plan.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["575233"],"_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-6779fe84aebd8"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Let's bring a Club Legacy athlete into the discussion. Hartle joined a large group of defensive specialists who thrived at our pair of La Vista showcases. She racked up a wealth of quality touches in the TVA gym and demonstrated her potential to be an impact player with Club Legacy. Early regional events will give us a better look at Hartle and many of her fellow 2028 competitors across the Great Plains Region.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["570903"],"_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-6779fe84aec1a"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Let's close out with another name to know from that small-town scene. Klockman earned some starting experience with Perkins County last fall and chipped in over a kill per set in the front row. Her upward trajectory carried into last month's Top 250 Expo, where Klockman's high contact point made her a constant scoring threat. Her next stop is South Central NE, a club making exceptional gains with Nebraska's hidden gems.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->
