Under-the-Radar Attackers Joining Nebraska 2027 Rankings

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>The list keeps growing.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>We've added hundreds of names to our player database this year, and many of those can be found in our Nebraska 2027 rankings. This year's club season was a major inflection point for this group, ushering in the start of a multi-year recruiting journey. Narratives will keep evolving this fall.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>If you're looking for some potential breakout stars for the upcoming high school campaign, our new additions to the 2027 rankings might fit the bill. It's time to expand that recruiting radar even further, and we're starting in the frontcourt.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["814054"],"_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-689ee181b52c3"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Small-town standouts will be a prevailing theme for this feature. Gering High School boasts its share of high-volume attackers, and Bruckner will be in that mix during this year's prep journey. She brought impressive length to last year's Bulldog lineup and placed second on the team with 82 total blocks. Bruckner also improved her transition attacking game to help Gering establish balance en route to a 24-12 record. Many of the school's biggest names are back for more in 2025, and that might translate to a breakout tournament appearance.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["817431"],"_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-689ee181b5334"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">We're never done with the Omaha scene. Chuol made big gains with Omaha North last fall and showcased the versatility to play on the right or in the middle. Her high contact point and quick elevation allow her to adapt to any tempo, further expanding her positional range. As the Omaha prep circuit expands and becomes even more competitive, more athletes like Chuol will find the spotlight.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["837844"],"_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-689ee181b5389"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">The David City area will be a must-see hotspot for terminal attackers. Coufal was Aquinas' leading scorer by a wide margin last year and carried the banner for a large group of starting underclassmen. Aquinas was also keen on wielding Coufal in all six rotations, allowing her backcourt skills to flourish in Zone 6. Her statistical production should surge again in Year 3.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["875194"],"_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-689ee181b53d9"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">We're shifting from one David City high school to another. The Scouts have leaned on their frontcourt talent to produce a wealth of memorable moments over the past few seasons. Golden's best highlights came late in her sophomore season as she surged past triple-digit kills on her 2024 tally. We've also watched Golden progress as a six-rotation asset, and the wins have followed. Last year's 24-9 mark was exceptional, but Golden and David City could be aiming higher this time.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["773356"],"_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-689ee181b5428"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Helmbrecht's rankings debut was overdue, as she contributed to the star-studded Kearney Elite 16-1 lineup from this year's club season. Kearney Elite also found ways to get their opposite involved and give Helmbrecht opportunities to thrive. As we look forward to seeing Kearney High School compete in Class A, many of Kearney Elite's stars will reunite on the high school side. Helmbrecht will take full advantage of this year-round synergy.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["811648"],"_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-689ee181b5477"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Howells-Dodge could be labeled as a Cinderella team in last year's postseason after the Jaguars used a late regional surge to reach the tournament. However, athletes like Koliha are laying the foundation to continue the school's run of high-profile success. This athletic middle blocker led Howells-Dodge's efficiency category last year and contributed to the squad's exceptional offensive balance in the middle. Koliha's competitive fire also stood out as the Jaguars competed under the bright lights in Lincoln. 2025 could bring more of the same.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["812589"],"_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-689ee181b54c6"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Cross County has produced so many show-stopping middle blockers lately. Donnelly joins the club after posting the Cougars' second-best block total in 2024. She also upped her attacking volume during the second half of the season, showing her continued development with Cross County's powerhouse program. A postseason return could be looming.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->
