Freshman Showcase Players to Watch Vol 1

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>It is time to raise your stock in our wonderful series of showcases that are coming to Texas at the end of this month.  We get lots of messages on social media and emails that ask how players can get on our radar or improve their ranking on our website.  The answer is very simple.  Our scouts need to see you in action.  What better way is there than to participate in live drills where our scouts will be in attendance.  Our showcases are second to none since we are the only brand to give coverage before, during and after the event ends.  You don't want to miss out as there will be some of our state's best players already signed up to showcase their skills.  Let's meet a few of the players who will be participating. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!--

our Texas State Rankings but that is only because we have not released them yet.  She is definitely someone who we are excited to watch in the showcase to analyze her skills and see where she ranks amongst her peers in this wonderful state.  What I like so far about her game is how clean the ball comes out of her hands.  They are perfect mirror images of each other before, during and after contact, which will make sure that her contacts are clean and her location is very repeatable.  Another aspect is how solid her posture looks while she is setting the ball.  She does not give defenders any “tells” where she will be going with the distribution location and that is going to lead to some great things for her hitters.  We will be watching her closely and you should as well. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block

Texas State Rankings but that is only because we have not released them yet.  One thing that I can tell about her play right now is that she has no problem going to the floor if she needs to in order to save the ball from hitting the court.  When you have liberos who are not afraid to get dirty, you know that you are in for a fighting chance against anyone.  After watching her highlight reels, I already see someone who has great court vision and even better reaction timing on defense.  I cannot wait to see how she performs against some of the best freshmen in the state at the showcase.  Our whole staff will be eager to see how competitive she truly is in person.  Stay tuned to see what we think about her. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!--

our Texas State Rankings but that is only because we have not released them yet.  One thing we love is a lefty who is not afraid to swing away and this home run hitter will give any team she is on some strong firepower on the right side of the court.  Taylor has a long reach and it helps that she is using it well by contacting the ball at her highest peak in order to stay aggressive and difficult to block.  I cannot wait to see how she uses that height on both offense and defense versus the top left side attackers at the showcase.  We will be reporting on her performance right after the event.  Stay tuned for more. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Do not hesitate to sign up now so that you do not miss out on the opportunity to
