<p>For this set of uncommitted 2026s from Indiana I wanted to cover the corners of the state from Evansville in the south to Mishawaka in the north. What I found were two solid, well coached clubs - NIVA (Northern Indiana Volleyball Association) and [program_tooltip program_id='431512' first='Metro' last='Volleyball Club'] - who had a plethora of great unsigned junior players to discover. All of these players are from these clubs' top 17s teams and currently are not committed to play anywhere in college, but when I watched them, it became apparent that they should be (if that is someting they want to pursue). Without further ado, here are six players that I believe have the talent AND attitude to play at the next level.</p>

<p class="text-gray-700"><strong>High School Season Highlights:</strong> Led Reitz in both kills and kills per set with 196 and 2.2 respectively. Also led the team in aces and aces per set. </p>

<p class="text-gray-700"><em>Reese is a long and lean player who certainly looks built to play college volleyball and who also moves really well laterally and vertically. She can run just about any set EFFECTIVELY and hit anywhere along the net including high outside, the 3 ball, anything in the middle and one heck of a slide. You can definitely envision her playing, OH, MB or RS at the next level. Not sure how this young lady is uncommitted</em> - <em>someone is going to get a great pickup with Parsons.</em></p>

<p class="text-gray-700"><strong>High School Season Highlights:</strong> Izzy finished second in total blocks with 32, and 3rd in kills per set and hitting percentage, with 1.5 k/s and 0.200, respectively.</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p><em>I was able to watch some film of Izzy from the Central Zone Invitational and was really impressed by the speed at which she attacks. She is up quick in transition and has a quick arm swing to match. On overpasses, she can terminate with ease inside the 10' line and when blocking is well above the net and pressed into the court. I think Bohleber certainly should have eyes on her for the next level</em>, <em>especially with offenses that want to run fast.</em></p>

<p class="text-gray-700"><strong>High School Season Highlights:</strong> 2nd Team All-Conference, IHSVCA All-Star Team 1A/2A Juniors, Sectional Champs, Regional 2nd Place. Lydia led her Tecumseh H.S. varsity squad in both total digs and digs per set as the libero, ending up with 392 and 3.8, respectively. She was also third on the team in assists and fourth in total aces. </p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} -->
<p class="text-gray-700"><em>I watched some film of Lydia form H.S. season and she does a good job of always moving from base to defense to covering, plus she can definitely dig the hard driven ball and run down off-speed shots from left back. She looks to have a good serve that often takes opponents out of system and she certainly has great energy on the court.</em> <em>To add to her current skill set, I look for her to get tons of reps in serve receive against some great older players throughout the club season.</em></p>

<p class="text-gray-700"><strong>High School Season Highlights:</strong> Ellie finished the high school season leading Mishawaka in a few categories including total kills, kills per set, hitting percentage and total service aces. Not only that, she also finished second on the team in total digs and digs per set.</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p><em>Adams is so springy and really good at getting her feet to the ball no matter where the set is - this allows her to use her full approach jump and swing high and hard. You can file Ellie in the category of 6 rotation outsides who just obliterate the term "undersized" because it simply doesn't matter anymore. She passes well and is very calm in serve receive, plus she has a full arsenal of shots to use on the left side: hard/sharp cross, roll shot to the middle, line, and high hands. Adams is just a natural athlete and volleyball player - makes sense seeing as her mom played at Louisville - she would make an outstanding addition at the next level either all the way around as an OH or at DS/L.</em></p>

<!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} -->
<p class="text-gray-700"><strong>High School Season Highlights:</strong> Abby played for volleyball powerhouse Penn H.S. as their libero and ended up first on the team in digs and digs per set, eclipsing the rest of the team with 4.3 digs/set and 12.8 digs per match. She helped lead them to a 25-6 record where they were Sectional and Regional champs but lost in Semi-State (final eight in class 4A).</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p><em>Lane is an exceptional passer who is really calm and does a great job with the deep serve; she moves her feet well and passes easily outside of her body. In left back she can really frustrate OHs who hit cross court with her ability to dig very hard driven balls with ease (she hardly has to hit the floor) and confidence. Lastly, she works hard - always covering, always moving and seemingly always in position. It is clear that Abby understands the game and her position very well because it seems to come easily, and the game seems slowed down for her.</em></p>

<!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} -->
<p class="text-gray-700"><strong>High School Season Highlights:</strong> Cassie spent her high school season with [player_tooltip player_id='303594' first='Ellie' last='Adams'] at Mishawaka as the setter, where she ended up first in assists with 771 and was third in digs, aces and hitting percentage. Creech helped lead the Cavemen to a 27-4 record overall.</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p><em>First off, Cassie is an absolute BEAST on defense. You would be hard pressed to find many setters who play defense like she does - never say die, always hustling and making crazy one-handed saves. I couldn't keep my eyes off of her on defense. Setting-wise she puts up consistent 4 balls to the OHs and is able to set a really good go-ball as well. She definitely spreads the ball around and really works to get everyone involved, especially her right side attacker. Creech is just one of those players who makes her team better because of her physical leadership and all-out attitude - she could be a team culture changer at the next level.</em></p>

For this set of uncommitted 2026s from Indiana I wanted to cover the corners of the state from Evansville in the south to Mishawaka in the north. What I found were two solid, well coached clubs - NIVA (Northern Indiana Volleyball Association) and
Metro Volleyball Club
- who had a plethora of great unsigned junior players to discover. All of these players are from these clubs' top 17s teams and currently are not committed to play anywhere in college, but when I watched them, it became apparent that they should be (if that is someting they want to pursue). Without further ado, here are six players that I believe have the talent AND attitude to play at the next level.
