26s From Indiana That Can Play At The Next Level

We spent a little time talking about five for-sure recruits for the next level earlier today. Let's empty the notebook and look for EVEN MORE available athletes from around the state. Here are five athletes from five different clubs that have seriously turned heads so far this club season, with qualifiers just around the corner.    Big and physical, Samantha is a force to be reckoned with on the right pin. I've seen her do some damage in the middle at our past showcases, but her true home is on the right pin. Attacking high and hard, all while being tough to go against when she blocks, makes her a no-doubt recruit for the next level. I don't think she jumps quite high enough for a Power Four school, but her size alone should grab the attention of a number of mid-majors that need such a player on the right pin.     Springy and quick-footed, Addi is an undersized and under appreciated middle that can attack both in front of and behind the setter in any situation. Her athleticism, along with her high volleyball IQ, allow her to hit well north of .300 during the high school season, where she earned a 4A state championship with the Chargers. Playing at smaller-than-average Summit, Addi is a diamond-in-the-rough type of middle that does the dirty work necessary to not only be a serviceable middle at the next level, but highly recruitable as well.     I agree with my fellow Indiana-based writer Melissa on this young lady---she's a collegiate six-rotation outside if there ever was one. Hitting high and hard regularly, all while jumping past her expected height, allow her to be a for-sure recruit for anyone that needs a full-time outside that should never come out of the game. Playing at tiny Barr-Reeve in southern Indiana, Addison will be a welcome surprise for a program looking for a six-rotation queen who hits and plays at a Division I level.     With super long arms and a whip of a shoulder, Audrey is more than capable of being at least a three rotation attacker at the next level from either pin. Apt to hit some of the tougher shots in the game, her high line attack is indefensible and her hard angle is tough to dig. I'd like to see a little more consistency in her serve receive, but that just takes a little more training, which is what this club season is all about. Long and lean for days, Audrey's athletic play in the front row will be more than serviceable for any program lucky to have her.     I swear I'm not writing about the same type of kid in this article, but here we are. Raegan, similar to the ladies listed above, is a long and lean outside attacker that has arms that make her look taller than she actually is. At Boiler Juniors for the last couple of seasons now, Raegan's development as a six-rotation outside has been quick, and she's starting to develop some strength behind her attacks. Her feet get her to the ball, no matter where it's set, and she finds a way to put balls away in any angle that the block and defense give her.
