Road to June 15th: 12 Under-the-Radar Omaha-Area 2027s

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>It's June 12th, so let's bring on a Daily Dozen.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Our coverage of Nebraska's 2027s marches forward as we count down the days<span style="margin: 0px;padding: 0px">--or perhaps <em>hours</em>--to</span> June 15th. This date marks just the start of the recruiting journey for the 2027s, so our coverage of this group still has a long way to go. Consider this one step in the process.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Today's featured dozen brings Omaha-area gems into the spotlight. Nebraska's most populous metro area has ample volleyball talent, and we can't forget about these names in the big-city scene.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["458184"],"_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-684a29a9e1c93"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Deats' explosiveness has produced plenty of highlights in the Nebraska Elite gym. She does most of her damage in the middle but has also churned out quality reps on the right side. This Omaha Westside prospect is ready to emerge on the Class A stage after gaining momentum with Nebraska Elite's top 16s squad.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["521300"],"_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-684a29a9e1d07"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Samuelson is a game-wrecking middle blocker who engineered some of Club Legacy 16 Alpha's best moments this year--and there are a lot of moments to choose from. We watched Samuelson hit for a high-efficiency last fall, and she brings the same impact for 16 Alpha as the team's go-to M1.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["505788"],"_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-684a29a9e1d67"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Premier Nebraska 16 Black is prepping for another GJNC journey, and Cahow will be a multi-position factor in that effort. This Elkhorn South standout has helped run the offense for 16 Black, but she can also spark the ball control phase with her defense and serving. Whichever role is needed in Dallas, Cahow will be ready.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["521212"],"_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-684a29a9e1db9"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">We've been fortunate to watch Brown flourish and transform while competing with Nebraska Elite 16 Apex. She has become a high-volume left-side hitter who can stabilize the serve-receive pattern in any rotation. Brown keeps reaching higher at the net, and 16 Apex has trusted her to carry an expanded role.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["521299"],"_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-684a29a9e1e0e"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Club Legacy undoubtedly has a seat at the table when discussing stellar 2027s in the Omaha area. Case has anchored Club Legacy 16 Bravo's defense this year and sets the tone with her eye-catching hustle plays. It's not all about the flashy moments, though; Case will also deliver the steady quality touches needed from your libero.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["773379"],"_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-684a29a9e1e53"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Ball control has clearly been a strength for Club Legacy 16 Bravo. Newbauer has dished the offense during the team's bevy of deep runs at national qualifiers. This rising junior is not afraid to push the tempo and give her teammates plenty of split-block opportunities.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["458180"],"_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-684a29a9e1e90"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">We now check in with [program_tooltip program_id='428728' first='River' last='City Jrs'], a club that draws talent from Omaha and Council Bluffs. Woehler is a major part of 16 Navy's operation and always makes a concerted effort to be available in transition. Her quick feet and instincts have led to several high-scoring performances, and Woehler is just getting started. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["575166"],"_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-684a29a9e1ef4"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Let's keep rolling with [program_tooltip program_id='428728' first='River' last='City Jrs']. Swenson is another 16 Navy standout who has displayed her multi-position versatility with the team. She wields a quick arm in the frontcourt but can lock down the middle-back area as a DS if needed. It's a familiar mold for many of [program_tooltip program_id='428728' first='River' last='City Jrs']' best athletes.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["487050"],"_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-684a29a9e1f3e"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">We can't discuss six-rotation stars at [program_tooltip program_id='428728' first='River' last='City Jrs'] without bringing up Duncan. This Papio prep athlete has made an extraordinary impression at past Prep Dig Circuit events, and she brings the same intensity to club competitions. This is one of 16 Navy's leading terminators and a force around the dial.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["521183"],"_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-684a29a9e1f7c"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Eck's upward trajectory continues. She demonstrated her high ceiling at last year's showcases and has taken another step forward with Premier Nebraska 16 Red. Eck has a quick burst off two feet, allowing her to form unstoppable connections in front of the setter. Her length also makes her a first-ball option in other gaps along the net, too.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["521175"],"_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-684a29a9e1fd4"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Johnson has been on our radar since her early days at the 15s level. She is a true "glue" player for Premier Nebraska 16 Red who can play a dual setter-opposite role for the team. Johnson's length and reach make her a worthy choice to play along the net, even if she's simply setting a 5-1 offense.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["730526"],"_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-684a29a9e2010"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">The short history of Omaha Westview High School is filled with impressive defensive talent. Myers is adding to that narrative and has showcased her potential to become a high-impact upperclassman. Her tireless effort with Nebraska Elite has set a high bar for Myers' junior campaign with the Wolverines.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->
