Teams were competing for bids to this summer's USAV National Tournament in Dallas.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Here's a collection of 15U right-side hitters that helped their teams succeed at the 2025 IRQ.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["545971"],"_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-67f31fbaca39e"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Cordes is one of the top right-side hitters in the state, regardless of graduating class. Thing is, she could also shine on the outside or in the middle. Cordes explodes off the floor with excellent leaping ability and already creates a ton of power in her swing. Premier 15-1 is the best in the state this season in large part because of what she adds at the opposite pin. The 2025 Iowa Regional Qualifier at the end of March was the first time I'd scouted Cordes in person since seeing her during last November's state tournament. She stood out to me then as a freshman on a loaded Waukee Northwest roster and did so again. Cordes' ceiling is very high, and she already boasts an impressive floor. Buy stock. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["730423"],"_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-67f3268fb3e95"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Rus caught my attention with her strong play the 2025 Northern Lights Qualifier last month. She followed that up with a big performance a week later at the Iowa Regional Qualifier. She can play at the opposite pin but she also operates through six rotations for PowerPlex. Rus makes up for the lack of traditional height at the pins by being an explosive athlete with an impressive vertical leap and hang time. She generates power when she swings and can defend at the net. Rus holds up very well in the back row, too.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["764299"],"_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-67f3268fb3ee9"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Mather put forth a high-level performance at the 2025 Iowa Regional Qualifier in March, helping CIA to a fourth-place finish. She's a good athlete that jumps well and already has power in the swing. Mather has potential and can reach it developing in a pair of programs known for doing it well. Mather already has a good feel for the game, sharp skills and she plays hard. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["547963"],"_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-67f3268fb3f2d"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Kremer has made great strides since I saw her last club season. She's grown taller and become stronger. Kremer has improved her volleyball skills, including being more consist with her swing and in timing her blocks. She's a good athlete that has plenty of room to go before she hits her ceiling. Kremer should continue moving towards it if she works hard in two of the state's top developmental programs for the sport. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":["not_in_db"],"_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_0_player_details_selected_featured_image":763261,"_player_evaluations_0_player_details_selected_featured_image":"field_62cca28ffa4e7","player_evaluations_0_player_details_player_name":"Emersyn Ott","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_player_name":"field_62aba4c9ecf2f","player_evaluations_0_player_details_graduating_class":"2028","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_graduating_class":"field_62aba4ddecf30","player_evaluations_0_player_details_height":"null","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_height":"field_62aba4e8ecf31","player_evaluations_0_player_details_position":"32925","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_position":"field_62aba4f0ecf32","player_evaluations_0_player_details_school":"Ankeny Centennial ","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_school":"field_62aba4fdecf33","player_evaluations_0_player_details_club_team":"Iowa Impact ","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_club_team":"field_62d20e723441a","player_evaluations_0_player_details":"","_player_evaluations_0_player_details":"field_62aba4afecf2e","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-67f3268fb3ff0"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Ott played well at the 2025 Northern Lights and Iowa Regional Qualifiers at the end of March. She brings good athleticism and a strong swing to the opposite pin. Ott shows timing and technique in blocking, and also can contribute in the back row. Impact and Centennial are two of the better development programs in the state, so Ott should have a decent chance to reach her potential with hard work.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["498069"],"_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-67f3299f428b7"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">RInehart is an intriguing prospect based largely on his versatility. She did her job while playing at the opposite pin and in the back row for a talented Impact 15-1 outfit during the 2025 Iowa Regional Qualifier in late March. Rinehart is athletic, moves well and displays a strong feel for the game. It will be interesting to see how she develops during the next few seasons as she trains in two of Iowa's better programs for developing student-athletes' potential. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->
