Competing within the 2030–2028 classes, these athletes demonstrated advanced shot selection, arm versatility, and an understanding of how to score in and out of system — traits that project well long term.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>What stood out most for college coaches was how these pins read the game. They adjusted to different tempos, found seams against the block, and stayed effective when rallies extended. Several also showed the ability to contribute beyond the pin, taking on added responsibilities without losing offensive efficiency.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>These evaluations focus on projection — attackers who are already thinking the game, expanding their range, and showing the foundational habits that translate to higher levels of play.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["554317"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":["override_image"],"_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_player_featured_image":919649,"_player_evaluations_0_player_featured_image":"field_62f141137ead9","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-694041a4cd306"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">[player_tooltip player_id='554317' first='Cece' last='Jaunich'] brought versatility and reliability to every rotation. While she rotated as a pin hitter, her defensive reads and touch in the backcourt consistently extended rallies, showing a strong understanding of court spacing and timing. Offensively, Cece attacks with efficiency, placing swings smartly against the block rather than relying solely on power. Her ability to transition quickly from defense to offense makes her a unique weapon, and she stood out because she contributes wherever the team needs her, making her an adaptable, coachable athlete to watch. <strong>~Theresa @prepdigdakotas</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["727991"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":["override_image"],"_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_player_featured_image":919651,"_player_evaluations_0_player_featured_image":"field_62f141137ead9","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-694041a4cd37b"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">[player_tooltip player_id='727991' first='Masiella' last='Kjelland'] dominated as a complete 6-rotation outside hitter. Her high vertical and exceptional hang time allow her to hit over or around opposing blockers, creating consistent scoring opportunities. She reads blockers effectively, mixes angles, and can score both in transition and off-system balls. What sets her apart is her stamina and ability to stay aggressive in every rotation, maintaining a full-court presence that impacts both offense and defense. College coaches will note her physical tools and her ability to execute under continuous pressure. <strong>~Theresa @prepdigdakotas</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["910544"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":["override_image"],"_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_player_featured_image":919657,"_player_evaluations_0_player_featured_image":"field_62f141137ead9","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-694041a4cd3c9"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">[player_tooltip player_id='910544' first='Mae' last='Edwards'] impressed with precision and consistency from the pin.

Her coverage on defense is disciplined, and she communicates effectively with teammates to maintain cohesion during extended rallies.
