Scouting Report: Day 1 at USAV Championship-PM Wave

‼️<a href="https://prepdig.com/subscribe/">Subscribe</a> to Prep Dig using code digdakotas30   The PM wave in Dallas picked up right where the morning left off—fast, physical, and full of players ready to make a statement. As Day One rolled into the evening, athletes brought the same intensity, and college coaches stayed locked in—pens out, eyes on.   We saw hard-hitting attackers owning the pins, defense flying through the backcourt with fluid reads, and setters running the offense with next-level composure. The pace was fast, the matchups were tight, and the energy never dropped.   With so much talent on the floor, a few names rose above the noise—players who stood out for their IQ, effort, and execution. Who caught PrepDigs attention in the PM wave?    [player_tooltip player_id='748339' first='Dori' last='Granlund'] is coming off a standout showcase and didn't slow down one bit heading into this tournament. Her performance today was all about purposeful play—every swing had intention, and her execution was dialed in from the first whistle.   She attacks with a quick, explosive approach and a strong vertical that lets her hit high and hard. Whether in system or adjusting on the fly, Dori finds ways to score and keep the pressure on the defense.   She's locked in, confident, and proving exactly why she's one of the players to watch this weekend.   If you missed her today—get to her court tomorrow. ~Theresa @prepdigdakotas     [player_tooltip player_id='760844' first='Maryn' last='Sherman'] stepped up in a big way today. As an outside hitter, she brought a mix of power and control that kept defenders on their heels. Her approach is fluid, and she goes up with confidence—swinging high, smart, and with purpose.   Maryn thrives in high-tempo situations, adjusts well to out-of-system balls, and knows how to find the open court or tool the block when it's tight. She brings great energy to the floor and shows leadership through her consistent play and communication.   She made her mark on Day One—and there's no question she's one to keep an eye on moving forward.   Coaches, if you're tracking pin hitters—make sure Maryn's on your list. ~Theresa @prepdigdakotas     [player_tooltip player_id='725601' first='Mya' last='Glandt'] made a clear statement today with her steady, confident presence in the back row. In serve receive, she held down the court with just two defenders—and that speaks volumes about the trust her team has in her ability to control first contact.   Her platform is consistent, her reads are sharp, and she moves with purpose to keep the ball in system. Whether she's tracking float serves or digging out tough attacks, Mya stays calm under pressure and leads with quiet confidence.   She's the kind of defender who anchors a team—and today, she proved exactly why. ~Theresa @prepdigdakotas     [player_tooltip player_id='693879' first='Delaney' last='Vaske'] showed out today as a middle blocker with high-level instincts and a quick first step. She reads the setter early, closes blocks with discipline, and consistently puts herself in position to take away key angles.   Offensively, Delaney brings a fast tempo and makes the most of every opportunity. Whether she's running a quick in front, sliding behind, or adjusting off a broken play, she stays aggressive and connects well with her setter.   She brings energy, athleticism, and court awareness that elevates the play around her.   Delaney isn't just holding the middle—she's owning it. ~Theresa @prepdigdakotas     [player_tooltip player_id='778002' first='Brylee' last='Nelson'] made her presence known today with her defensive command and consistency in the back row. She reads the game early, moves with confidence, and delivers clean, on-target passes that keep her team in system.   Whether she's in serve receive or reading an attack, Brylee shows strong positioning, great footwork, and a calm platform that holds steady under pressure. She doesn't chase the spotlight—she just gets the job done at a high level.   Her ability to control the pace of the game from the backcourt is exactly what coaches look for. ~Theresa @prepdigdakotas    <h2 class="wp-block-heading">Thank you to all my readers for making this journey possible.
