She has good footwork as part of her approach patterns that ends with a big double-arm drive and bow and arrow that allow her to hit with good pace and range when she is on time. She competes for AVC 17 White currently and will return for her senior season with Ohio power Gilmour Academy.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["502154"],"_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-684eef302835b"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Tolin brings good skills and value to the floor as a DS/L prospect. She passes with good movement and confidence as she is simple in her reactions and angle development. Defensively, she reads the floor well and reacts with good a good first step. The NDCL rising senior competes for [program_tooltip program_id='431573' first='RockCity' last='']'s top 17U team that should compete well with corps of athletes they have in their full rotation, including Tolin's first-contact work. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["783649"],"_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-684eef302841e"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">A 6'2 middle, Birck makes some of the best and biggest impact for her Cincy East team right now. She scores around her setter and can put a good block that should be respected given her length and ability to move laterally to get to pin hitters. She has a good relationship with her setter on the offensive side to hit through different attack points and when on time in the air she can create good power. She competes for Anderson during the high school season.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["492659"],"_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-684eef302849b"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">The 5'11 Bright holds down the middle well during her rotations for AVC 17 White. Her approach work is sound in that she follows the ball and play development well to create good space around her setter so she can take a balanced swing. The Hudson product can set a good block for her defense to be able to play around her and create transition opportunities, which is an areas she led her high school team in 2024 with 82 total blocks on the season.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["783671"],"_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-684eef3028529"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Whalen is a critical part of her Cincy East team's effort. At 5'10, the six-rotation pin contributes as an anchor in their ball control, with good defense, and with her arm offensively. She reads and reacts well in the first-touch aspects that can get her setter into good situations to run their offense. As a hitter, the Loveland product swings with high contact that can challenge the defense and find space. She earned 130 kills last fall and should see an uptick in her production with more opportunities in 2025.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->
