<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>We have plenty of middles for this conversation.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Our most recent features have been perusing a few of the many new additions to the Nebraska 2027 rankings. We've covered pin hitters and setters already, but dozens of other names are still worthy of the spotlight. This year's club season has taught us a lot about the Class of 2027, and it's hard to pick one position group that has impressed us most.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Meet some of the middle blockers who have been revelations this spring.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["773349"],"_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-681ce77b66de2"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Club Legacy has accumulated a wealth of talent in the middle, and Morris is jumping directly into the rankings for this update. This physical athlete has been a tremendous force in the middle for 16 Alpha and can run various routes in the frontcourt. Blocking has also emerged as a major strength, with Morris producing numerous positive touches for her squad. 16 Alpha's 2025 success has become a launching point for many stock risers and new additions from the Club Legacy gym.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["773500"],"_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-681ce77b66e4e"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Nebraska Elite knows how to pull in small-town stars. Bosshart represents Arlington High School on the prep side and has made strides while playing up an age group with Nebraska Elite. This long, agile hitter swings with tremendous range and has a large attacking window in front of the setter. Bosshart can even slot into the outside hitter spot if extra firepower is needed, so keep an eye on her positional designation this fall.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["773432"],"_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-681ce77b66e95"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Let's hang out with the small-town stars a little longer. South Central NE is always a safe bet when looking for the next wave of game-changing attackers, and Paup has that takeover potential for 16 Red. The Central City sophomore put away nearly 200 kills for the Bison last fall, setting the stage for another breakout campaign with South Central NE. Paup can generate indefensible angles on the middle quick or spread the offense on the slide. She's due for another uptick in production as she becomes an upperclassman.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["773461"],"_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-681ce77b66ed7"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">It's about time we visited with Central [program_tooltip program_id='428716' first='Nebraska' last='Jrs']. This up-and-coming club pulls many of its athletes from the Columbus area, and Fedde has emerged as one of the biggest headliners. She has the flexibility to anchor the middle or play a hybrid role on the outside. Fedde's power and precision allow her to adapt to any frontcourt position and find success. Her best moments are still to come.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["773459"],"_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-681ce77b66f16"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Keep checking off more clubs in northeast Nebraska and the wider Omaha metro. McCoy first captured our attention by dishing out two kills per set with Cedar Bluffs last fall. That was a massive uptick in production from her freshman season, and McCoy's upward trend has continued with Fremont VBC. Like many of the other players on this feature, McCoy has been a productive pin hitter during the high school season but has shown promise as a middle in club. Any spot works for this stout, dynamic attacker.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["773374"],"_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-681ce77b66f55"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">The entries keep rolling in from [program_tooltip program_id='428743' first='VCNebraska' last=''] 16 Black. Anderson makes the hike from Grand Island to fortify 16 Black's middle blocker spot. It's a worthwhile trek, as Anderson has become an enormous contributor during 16 Black's high-pressure qualifier trips. The GINW standout has a knack for closing blocks and has been exceptionally efficient as a first-ball terminator. GJNC awaits for Anderson and her stacked VCN team.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["773370"],"_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-681ce77b66f93"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Our latest [program_tooltip program_id='428717' first='Nebraska' last='ONE'] entry comes from the team's steady, consistent 16 Lime lineup. Franklin has generated plenty of effective offense on the 'gap' set, allowing her to operate between opposing blockers. The Lincoln East sophomore is also a constant source of on-court energy and has carried the team through several tight sets. These new additions from the Lincoln area have a ton of breakout potential.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["773363"],"_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-681ce77b66fd0"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Finally, we're returning to the vaunted Kearney Elite 16-1 lineup. Rood is an incredibly versatile frontcourt asset with fundamentals beyond her years. She gets hip-to-hip with her wing blockers and aids Kearney Elite's stingy defense. Of course, Rood is also keen to capitalize on her attacking opportunities when Kearney Elite delivers a good pass. This fall will provide many more must-see moments for Kearney Elite's athletes on the Class A stage.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->
