Triple Crown NIT Top Performers Vol 2

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>One of the most anticipated tournaments at the beginning of each club season is the Triple Crown NIT because of all of the talent that is under one roof.  It was held this past weekend in Kansas City, MO on February 15-17^th.  There were tons of amazing individual performances that we saw as we covered this tourney in person.  This series of articles is going to cover quite a few of those individual performances that stood out to us over the weekend.  Let's see who earned a Top Performer award from our scouts. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!--

--> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Brooklyn is currently an unranked prospect in the 2028 Class according to our Prep Dig Texas State Rankings, but that is because we have not released them yet.  She plays volleyball at Rockwall High School and plays club for the Arete volleyball program.  This is my second time watching Miss Horton play this season and I think she has already gotten better than the first time.  On each team you have roles and responsibilities.  There are those that are chosen and those that come naturally to players.  When I watch Brooklyn compete, I see someone who is destined to shine at the highest level.  She has that “it factor” that all stars seem to be born with.  Match that with supreme confidence and the skill to back it up and you have a star player.  Normally in this age group, it is the outside hitter who gets all of the glory and a majority of the sets, however Brooklyn's ability to play both offense and defense at a legitimate high level equate to major attention.  She has the height that you cannot teach along with natural speed and power to patrol the net and drive hard toward the setter to score on quick attempts.  There is not a route that she cannot run with both speed and precision.  It is time for every college coach to meet this stud baller.  Please help us congratulate her on earning a Top Performer award for her individual play. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block

Prep Dig California State Rankings, but that is only because we have not released them yet.  She plays volleyball at Marin Catholic High School and plays club for the Absolute volleyball program.  There is a quote from many famous coaches across all sports and that is, “You cannot teach height!”  Yes, this is true and Miss Delaney has tons of it.  Now the problem with a lot of taller players is that it takes them a few years more than others to gain their strength and coordination.  Carolina is way ahead of the curve and has it all together already at this young age.  What I loved about her play is how she was ready and willing to be a “go to” hitter whether she was in the front row or the back row for her squad.  I also loved how she took hard driven approaches to gain as much momentum in her vertical as possible.  While a lot of taller players don't do this and rely on their height, Miss Delaney is playing very hard to get as much into her jump as she can.  She also has some great court vision that allowed her to score in a variety of ways on the court with line shots, timely off-speed shots, and hard driven balls against the block.  I strongly encourage every college coach to put her name on your short list right now.  Please help us congratulate her on earning a Top Performer award for her individual play. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!--

according to our Prep Dig Texas State Rankings.  She plays volleyball at Mansfield Lake Ridge High School and plays club for the [program_tooltip program_id='431200' first='Madfrog' last=''] volleyball program.  We have had the privilege of covering Miss Moore for the last three years and she continues to amaze us with her play each time we see her.  There is a lot to like about what she brings to the table and we will speak about a few of her gifts.  Everyone, like us,  was marveling about her ability to leap and soar with the birds in the air and for good reason.  The way she moves on the court is magical, effortless, and crowd pleasing.  Her shot selection, lightning fast arm swing and no fear of anyone in her way are just a few things that stood out to me when I watched her compete this weekend. I was not the only one who noticed as she earned all tourney honors from the tournament staff.  There is only one question I have that I cannot figure out…Why is she not committed yet?  If this latest performance at one of the highest levels possible doesn't convince college scouts to offer her a roster spot, I don't know what will.  This young lady is flat out phenomenal and should get tons more offers soon.  Please help us congratulate her on earning a Top Performer award for her individual play. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>As always stay tuned for more articles on your favorite athletes.  If you have anyone you think we should watch out for, please shoot me an email with some info at <a href="mailto:Michael@prepdig.com">Michael@prepdig.com</a>.  Also don't forget to help these kids get more exposure by sharing our stories with your friends.  Help us help them by simply retweeting on Twitter or sharing on Facebook.  Thanks for following us, Prep Dig Family!  Don't be afraid to interact with us.  We love the likes, shares, and quotes/comments.  Keep them coming!</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
