This is where separation starts to show—players who didn't just flash potential, but consistently <em>proved</em> it. These athletes forced conversations, elevated their teams, and answered the question every evaluator asks: can they impact the game when it matters?</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>This group blends high-level skill with competitive edge, showing maturity beyond their years and the ability to perform across multiple settings. The margins are thin here, and every rep counted. Make no mistake—names in this range are firmly on the radar, and several are closer to breaking through than many realize.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["747640"],"_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-6945a60581701"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700"><strong><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='747640' first='Camryn' last='Jurrens'] | OH | No. 4 Outside – Class of 2029</strong><br></strong>Camryn has continued to separate herself as a high-level pin who can handle volume and responsibility. Over the last season, she showed a mature understanding of attacking range—scoring not just with power, but with smart shot selection against a set block. Her ability to work high hands, tip with intent, and recycle swings kept rallies alive and offenses in rhythm. She also made noticeable strides in serve receive, stabilizing patterns and allowing her team to stay in system more consistently.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700"><strong><br></strong>Looking ahead, Camryn's growth ceiling lies in becoming an even more physical terminal attacker.

She reads hitters exceptionally well, showing early recognition of arm angles and attack tendencies. Her platform control allows her to absorb pace and deliver passable balls even when stretched outside her base. What impressed most was her composure—she rarely lets one play affect the next, which is critical at the libero level.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700"><br>As she moves into the upcoming season, expect Keira to become even more commanding in serve receive leadership.
