<p>The 2027 class is stepping into leadership roles, and at <strong>ASICS Presidents Day</strong>, the uncommitted floor generals will be worth every rep coaches watch. Setters are the tempo-setters, decision-makers, and momentum managers of a match. They control distribution, manipulate blockers with location and pace, and determine whether an offense stays predictable or becomes difficult to defend.</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>The generals in this class do more than deliver hittable balls. They extend the net with precise ball placement, disguise their release, and make smart choices in transition. They understand when to push tempo to the pins, when to establish middles, and when to take second contact themselves. Their communication, defensive coverage, and ability to stay composed in tight sets often separate good teams from great ones.</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>This weekend, expect these uncommitted 2027 setters to run balanced offenses, create one-on-one matchups, and prove they can command the floor under pressure. Coaches looking for leadership and high volleyball IQ will want to get eyes on this group.</p>

<p class="text-gray-700">Alli Blair runs an offense with poise and tempo control. Her hands stay quiet and consistent, allowing her to deliver a clean, repeatable release point. She does an excellent job squaring to target and pushing the ball to the pins with pace, especially when running faster tempo to the outside. Alli sees the block well and isn't afraid to establish her middles early to hold defenders. Defensively, she covers and digs with urgency, keeping rallies alive. <strong>~Theresa @prepdigdakotas</strong></p>
