She's a solid M2 plug-and-play option for this class, and carries size, broad shoulders and pace behind the ball for one of the best 16s teams in the Midwest. Her arrival on this bronze-medal winning team from a year ago transforms the roster into a juggernaut, as her club team has yet to drop a match this club season.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["569786"],"_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-69b5d6ab22027"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Part of a state-championship-winning high school program, Paityn is a smart and efficient middle that can do a lot of different things as an M2 or an M1. Athletic and quick, Paityn will beat slower middles with speed and opposing defenses with smarts. Aggressive when she needs to be, she's terminal in nearly every swing she takes. A regular on our PrepDig circuit of showcases, Miss Lauck should be one of the first middles off the recruiting board for this class.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["586968"],"_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-69b5d6ab220ab"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">The second of two Freels (she has a twin sister), Madeline is a middle during club season and an outside during high school season. Although “only” listed as 5'11”, her extra-long arms make her look far taller than she appears. That reach, combined with a high volleyball IQ and ability to attack from anywhere, combine to form one of the better hybrid attackers in this class.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["722892"],"_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-69b5d6ab2212a"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">The owner of the highest hitting percentage of all players, regardless of class, in the entire state of Indiana this past high school season, Abbie is a tough and athletic middle that can be an M1 or an M2 for whomever wants her. With lift for days and an innate ability to terminate with maximum efficiency, Abbie's toughness shines through in any setting on any roster. With Abbie's guidance, Southern Wells should earn the first D1 volleyball recruit in some time—-and further Munciana's ability to crank out amazing athletic talent from smaller schools in east central Indiana.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["741564"],"_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-69b5d6ab221a6"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Providence has never been accused of being “tall”. Enter Miss Manos, whose size, strength and fearless heavy attacking has put her, Providence and Union on the map for creating big and physical volleyball recruits. I like the fearlessness—-she came to our most recent showcase in December and did everything asked of her offensively and more. With strong athletic acuity, solid upper body strength and the ability to hit a heavy ball, Isabella is one we'll keep an eye on as one of the first from southern Indiana to receive a commitment this coming summer.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->
