College coaches looking for true terminal attackers should take note. These athletes didn't just swing hard; they <em>changed the rhythm of rallies,</em> applied pressure in out-of-system situations, and showed the type of scoring IQ that translates at the next level. From high-contact point termination to disciplined block setups, this group showcased the full toolbox of a modern right-side weapon.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>What separated this crew at the event was their ability to impact the game in multiple phases. They handled mismatch scenarios, made smart reads in transition, controlled seams defensively, and found ways to score even when the set location wasn't perfect. Their confidence on the pin and willingness to attack with range—line, seam, and deep cross—stood out immediately on film and in live reps. If you're looking for emerging hitters with size, power, and upside, these right-side athletes absolutely belong on your early recruiting radar.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["744093"],"_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-692cd53e67327"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700"><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='744093' first='Grace' last='McKeown']</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Grace brought one of the cleanest ball-contact windows of the entire right-side group. Her ability to hit <em>high and heavy</em> over the block immediately stood out, and she consistently punished high-out-of-system balls—an invaluable trait for a next-level opposite. Grace also showed one of the more disciplined block presses at the event, sealing seams and taking away key angles with a read-first mentality. <strong>~Theresa @prepdigdakotas</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700"><br><strong>What to expect this club season:</strong> Grace steps into a bigger offensive role where she will continue to be a go-to terminal option, especially in transition. Look for her to elevate her blocking presence and become a true point-scoring weapon on the right pin.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["729135"],"_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-692cd53e673af"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700"><strong>Arianna Paulsen</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Arianna impressed with her ability to hit with <em>range</em>—deep cross, sharp wrist-away, and a confident line swing when the blocker cheated inside. She thrives in fast-tempo patterns and was one of the best at adjusting mid-air to sets that drifted. Her court awareness separated her from the pack; she consistently attacked open space rather than swinging blindly into size. <strong>~Theresa @prepdigdakotas</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700"><br><strong>What to expect this club season:</strong> Arianna continues to refine her backcourt work and out-of-system footwork. Expect her to emerge as a high-IQ opposite capable of creating offense even when rallies get messy.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["782330"],"_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-692cd53e67411"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700"><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='782330' first='Iman' last='Bayyari']</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Iman was one of the most physical attackers on the right pin, bringing a heavy arm and fearless presence at the net. She snaps the ball straight down when the tempo is right and showed one of the most aggressive block touches at the event—creating deflections and slowing down opposing outsides. Her ability to close blocks quickly made her a defensive anchor on the pin. <strong>~Theresa @prepdigdakotas</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700"><br><strong>What to expect this club season:</strong> Iman will elevate her game as a shut-down blocker and continue refining her ability to terminate from behind the setter.

She excels in <em>tempo sync,</em> arriving early and staying open to multiple options. Her precision allowed her to attack both the gap and the seam with control. Gianna also proved reliable in coverage, keeping plays alive and extending rallies—a skill coaches love in a pin attacker. <strong>~Theresa @prepdigdakotas</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700"><br><strong>What to expect this club season:</strong> Gianna will expand her offensive versatility, adding more zone manipulation and improving her ability to attack across her body.
