Top Indiana Uncommitted Players at CZ Invite

The Central Zone Invitational in Indianapolis is always a large, full of great talent tournament to start the club volleyball season off right. The best teams from all over the Midwest will be there, including all of the top teams in Indiana and the 17 Open Division is going to be one to watch! There are so many highly skilled, incredible athletes still available (i.e. uncommitted) in all positions in the class of 2026 that can absolutely play at the next level. Let's dive into seven players who college coaches will certainly be watching this weekend (and if not, they should be).    I'll be honest, I'm not sure where to start with this young lady. I guess I will start with the fact that whatever D1 school decides to sign her, they are in for a great MB who is only going to get better and better from what I see. She is long and lean, extremely fast in transition and runs behind the setter well. Maddie is an M1 in my book for sure - she can terminate on the slide very efficiently and hits all directions with pace. Herman is great in front of the setter as well and is VERY GOOD at staying off the net (spacing) so she can swing around the block. Lastly, her block is big - Maddie shows that you don't have to be way over 6' tall to be a great middle blocker. I believe this young lady is going to just continue to get better and shine.     Here is another player that I am just so happy to have finally found! She is an absolute BEAST in the back row! Kedvesh is the current libero at Carmel High School and is coming off a season where she led the Greyhounds in digs and digs per set. She has an insane ability to dig a hard driven attack in left back and get it to target on her side of the net. Many liberos at this age are happy to simply dig a powerful hit, but you can tell that Lexi takes pride in digging and allowing her team to attack well from it. She can also use her hands easily when the opposing RS swings down the line, as well as run down just about any tip they might put up. When I was watching film, just about every dig she made was one that made the entire crowd GASP; no one was expecting her to dig the balls she did from opposing players who are headed to schools like Louisville (for me, that says a lot). I am telling you; this gal is the REAL DEAL and again, some D1 program is going to get a baller in Lexi.     Since "undersized" no longer exists in college or professional volleyball (thank you Charitie Luper and Leketor Member-Meneh), can we please stop using that phrase when talking about great OHs like Miss Bassett? This young lady takes her height completely out of the equation with her athleticism, skill, work ethic and positive attitude. It is clear that she is an incredible teammate when she is on the court AND off - a quality that is getting harder to find in this day and age of "look at me, look at me!" Bassett is an unselfish player (is there a better quality in an athlete) who plays all the way around with a calm presence. When attacking, she can hit any shot - I especially love her deep swings to both corners that are darn near impossible to defend. She will mix in an off speed to the middle of the court once in a while making the defense have to choose what to defend - the deep corner shot or the off speed. Of all the pins I have seen in this class, Audrey is one of the better passers; you can tell she takes pride in her serve receive!     Pinyerd is making the switch from Munciana to TI this club season and will certainly be an asset to them in the middle. She is quick to get up in transition every time, working hard to be an option in front of the setter on most plays. Due to her size, Luci is able to terminate even when her spacing with the net and her setter is tight. In transition, I look for her to improve her spacing, stay off the net and get to the setter more over this club season, which will allow her to generate more power and see the block better. Pinyerd already has the length, speed and work ethic, so once she adds that last element, it should really up-level her offensive game. Blocking-wise she takes up a lot of space and moves laterally well; at the 17 Open level I imagine this will increase even more as offenses get faster at this age. Lastly, Pinyerd just seems to be fun to play with - lots of excitement and positive energy!     Natalie is the OH who is going to get up and just flat out rip it for your team. Who doesn't want a young player with no fear of the block to just go out there and ATTACK?! I love this quality in young outside hitters because it carries through with them to college and next thing you know they're going up against 6'4" middles and right sides and they are not fazed! Sevier can also hit a two ball well out of the middle where she is able to swing in either direction. Lastly, Natalie has a well developed, highly effective deep zone one tip she can use when needed. I would like to see her work on transitioning faster from off blocker defense or blocking so she can use that big, long armed approach every single time. In terms of backrow, I can see Natalie being a strong DS as well at the next level with her length, ability to swing hard from middle back and even her experience setting. It's going to be fun to see and hear the power she swings with in person this weekend and watch her play because she simply seems like she a great kid with a great attitude who loves to play the game!     Daniels is a highly athletic, quick to the ball and accurate setter. She plays at national powerhouse HSE for high school season and has been watching and learning from standout setter, [player_tooltip player_id='172759' first='Ava' last='Hunter'], I am sure. What I love most about Jasmine's play is her ability to make something good happen out of what seems like nothing. I saw her make several incredible one-handed sets from passes that everyone thought were going to go over the net or into it. Daniels can push the ball to the pins from basically anywhere on the court and do it accurately. She sets the slide with good pace and height, similar to the speed you see at the D1 level. I am super excited to watch Jasmine play in person and run this high-powered Rev 17-1 offense where she will have a ton of weapons.     Kemp is a young lady who is new to me but definitely should not be. Shame on me for not knowing about her before now! She has length for days, is extremely springy and is clearly an awesome athlete - at Park Tudor she excels at basketball and track as well. What college coach would not love to have an athlete that is able to juggle the demands of three sports in high school, plus compete on a high-level club team?! D'Aaliyah was the leader for Park Tudor in almost every category this past season - kills, kills per set, hitting percentage, blocks and aces. Her high contact point makes her hard to read on defense and I like how aggressive she is on the swing; Kemp is not afraid to just go for it. It is going to be awesome to see her hit off of the great setters on this squad and if she can work to keep the ball in front of her, she is going to be crushing the 10' line consistently. D'Aaliyah is probably the player with the most room to grow and excel on this list.    <hr class="wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity" />   <h3 class="wp-block-heading">If you loved this article, please follow our Instagram page, <a href="https://www.instagram.com/abovethenetvolleyball">Prep Dig IN | Above The Net Volleyball</a> for exclusive content and behind-the-scenes action.</h3>   After following our page, take the next step and subscribe to PrepDig!
