<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>The first 'Watch List" for the 2029 Ohio class is now posted. As these lists are fluid and continue developing as more teams and prospects are viewed, undoubtedly more athletes will be seen, identified, and added going forward. With a lot of attention to 15U and above prospects through each cycle, it is fun to get a glimpse of the rising freshmen class including some we could see competing right away for their high school varsity teams this coming fall season. Here are five pins earning points at the net while contributing in other areas for their respective club teams.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["774776"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":["override_image"],"_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_player_featured_image":231263,"_player_evaluations_0_player_featured_image":"field_62f141137ead9","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-6829073260073"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Anders is a key offensive piece for her AVC team with tools in the passing game and at the net defensively. She has a long frame in her platform which creates advantages in her approach and contact point offensively as well as helping her get up and over the net well when blocking. Her attacking mechanics include good patience to a build and close at the end of her pattern where she has potential to put some power and movement behind the ball. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["774794"],"_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-68290732600cf"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">At the pins, Aracri already poses a big threat as a scorer and defender with her 6'1 frame. Primarily on the right side for [program_tooltip program_id='431827' first='Elevation' last='']'s top 14U squad, she's a key factor to their offensive arsenal. Through a higher tempo option she does a good job of showing patience so she can take advantage of the match up she has in front of her to swing over or through space.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["774812"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":["override_image"],"_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_player_featured_image":231263,"_player_evaluations_0_player_featured_image":"field_62f141137ead9","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-682907326012a"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Berube is a quick and athletic pin playing for NKYVC's top 14U team. What I like about her game on the outside is that she can get up and hang to allow her arm speed to go to work. At 5'9, she does good work in her approach pattern to get her last two steps to the ball that help her maximize her physical tools and move the ball around with that big pace she can create.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["539419"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":["override_image"],"_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_player_featured_image":231263,"_player_evaluations_0_player_featured_image":"field_62f141137ead9","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-6829073260186"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">The 5'10 left side hitter is developing into a complete player with ability to contribute in a variety of areas while also showing good I.Q. in some of her decisions offensively. She gets good lift and will improve that by driving both arms up together, which also will increase her balance that will make her more effective and efficient overall. NOVA has a good one in Hamilton as she has great upside.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["619508"],"_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-68290732601cd"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">At this early point in her career, Walburn's best offensive attribute is the power she can put on the ball at contact. When she is in rhythm and on time at the pin or out of the back row you can bet she is likely to take a big swing. At 5'11, that pace can challenge the defense well. Look for her impact to grow as her timing and momentum become more fluid. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->
