As there are some really talented athletes in this class, she continues to show good physicality in combination with sound skills in a variety of phases. Her timing in the middle helps create space for her big arm while her patience and quick lift and press make her a formidable blocking presence defensively. She and her team are qualified for the 15 American division at the upcoming USAV national championships this summer.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["582224"],"_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-68067f7309ba3"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Reisman continues to shine competing up as the primary setter for [program_tooltip program_id='430852' first='Tri-State' last='Elite']'s top 16U team. This is a squad that should make waves on the national level in their remaining events given the progress they have made individually and collectively in their skills and competitive success, including winning the 16 Open division with an unbeaten record at the recent JVA World Challenge earlier this month. At 6'0 with great command of the court with her hands, she is an elite prospect in the making for the next level.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["510903"],"_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-68067f7309c0a"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Long jumps in the rankings as she continues to prove herself as one of the heaviest hitters at the pins in this Ohio class. The quality of her movement continues to show minor adjustments that are making a big impact in her ability to contact at the peak of her jump and develop a lot of pace from the torque in the air. At 6'0, this touch point and heat are a difficult combination to slow down on the other side of the net. And when this team is in-system with their quick pin tempo, watch out as Lowe can bring it through the open space.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["511364"],"_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-68067f7309c6d"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Previously on the Watch List, Wilson (*pictured) makes a big splash this rankings cycle after opportunities to see her play. She competes for Legacy's top 15U team that earned their Open-level bid to the GJNC at the Sunshine Classic. Seeing opportunities as libero and defensive specialist at times, Wilson is fundamentally sound in her serve receive movement, including her footwork and ability to create simple yet effective angles. Defensively, although 5'3, she can cover court with speed, first-step reaction that creates range, and big effort overall. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["582209"],"_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-68067f7309cfb"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">I like Brkic's game a lot, not only because she has great fundamental tools as a six-rotation pin, but because she is reliable through the volume of opportunity she gets offensively. At 5'9, she can pass effectively to ignite their offense. As an attacker, Brkic can also put some good power or finesse on the ball when in-system and on time. However, its through the broken situations that she most displays her attacking I.Q. and range of arm control and skills to make a quality play that can put pressure on the opponent. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Contributor Bio</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><em>Mike Bryant is in his 5th cycle as the lead scout for Prep Dig Ohio, helping grow the visibility and support for prospects from all areas of the state.
