These athletes are asked to do it all: block against top outsides, terminate in transition, and deliver in out-of-system situations when the play breaks down. It's a position built on versatility, physicality, and the ability to produce under pressure.   For college coaches in the gym this weekend, this is a group that needs to be on your radar. Right pins who can contribute on both sides of the ball are always a priority in recruiting, and this group is showing the traits that translate. They're not just filling rotations—they're creating advantages, impacting matchups, and proving they can handle high-level play.   Offensively, the growth is clear. These hitters are expanding their scoring range—mixing pace, using higher hands, and adjusting to tempo depending on the situation. They're finding ways to stay efficient in out-of-system swings, which is where right pins are often evaluated the most. That ability to adapt and still produce is what makes them valuable at the next level.   At the net, they're doing the work that often goes overlooked but matters just as much in recruiting. Closing seams, pressing across the tape, and taking away angles against top outsides—these are the details that translate directly. Combined with their offensive production, it's a complete picture of what programs are looking for.   This weekend is an opportunity to evaluate, and this group is making that decision easier. These are right pins who bring size, versatility, and the ability to impact the match in multiple ways—exactly the kind of players that should be on recruiting boards moving forward.    If you're in the gym, [player_tooltip player_id='748339' first='Dori' last='Granlund'] is a non-negotiable watch. She checks every box you want at the right pin—offensive production, blocking presence, and the ability to take over sequences when the level rises. She's explosive in transition, generates heavy arm speed, and consistently finds ways to terminate against size—whether that's tooling the block or attacking seams with pace.   What makes her a priority evaluation is how complete she is. At the net, she closes with authority, presses across the tape, and takes away angles against top outsides. She's not just competing—she's controlling matchups. If you want to see a right side who impacts both sides of the ball at a high level, this is where you start. ~Theresa @prepdigdakotas     Kynzie Lensing is a right pin that demands attention because of how balanced and efficient her game is. She's a reliable offensive option who stays available in transition and delivers in key moments. Her ability to adjust mid-swing, use the block, and stay productive across rotations makes her a consistent threat.   At the net, she brings value that translates immediately. Kynzie reads well, closes quickly, and works to seal seams—making it difficult for opposing outsides to find clean looks. She's the type of player you need to see live to fully appreciate how much she impacts the flow of the match on both sides. ~Theresa @prepdigdakotas     Reese Gilbertson brings a physical presence that stands out the moment you watch her compete. She attacks with pace, elevates well, and looks to terminate with authority, especially in transition. When she gets a clean look, she can change the momentum of a match quickly.   What makes her a key watch this weekend is how her game is expanding. She's not just relying on power anymore—she's starting to use higher hands, adjust angles, and stay effective when the block is set. Combined with her competitiveness at the net, Reese is a right side who continues to trend upward and is worth getting eyes on now. ~Theresa @prepdigdakotas     [player_tooltip player_id='805681' first='Hannah' last='Sellner'] is a right pin you watch closely because of how controlled and efficient she is in high-level play. She doesn't waste swings—she reads the block, makes adjustments, and finds ways to score without forcing the play. In longer rallies and out-of-system situations, she remains composed and productive.   Defensively, she adds another layer. Hannah positions well, closes space, and consistently makes attackers work. She's a player who may not always be the loudest on the court, but her impact shows up in every phase—and that's exactly why she's worth evaluating in person. ~Theresa @prepdigdakotas     [player_tooltip player_id='827871' first='Suri' last='Cruz'] brings an energy and motor that immediately stands out. She's active in transition, stays engaged in every rally, and continues to find ways to contribute offensively. Her growth is showing in how she's becoming more intentional with her swings and more confident attacking from the right side.   What makes her worth seeing live is how she competes. She doesn't take plays off, works to close the block, and continues to impact the match even when things aren't perfect. That consistency in effort and involvement makes her a right pin that keeps drawing your attention. ~Theresa @prepdigdakotas     [player_tooltip player_id='508163' first='Avery' last='Minor'] is a player you want to track in person because of the physical tools she brings and how they're starting to translate. She attacks with pace and has the ability to terminate cleanly when in rhythm. Her size and reach give her a natural advantage, especially on the right side.   At the net, you're starting to see her become more active—working to press and take away space rather than just reacting. As her timing continues to develop, her impact is increasing. She's a right side with clear upside, and this is the stage where seeing that progression live matters. ~Theresa @prepdigdakotas     [player_tooltip player_id='753592' first='Caelee' last='LeBrun'] is a right pin that keeps drawing your attention the longer you watch her compete. She plays with a consistent motor, staying active in transition and always presenting herself as an option, which gives her offense added flow. She doesn't disappear in rallies—she builds into them, finding ways to stay involved and impact key moments.   What stands out is how her offensive game is evolving. She's not limited to one look—she's beginning to mix tempo, use higher hands, and adjust to the block when the set isn't perfect. That ability to stay effective in out-of-system situations is critical at the right pin. At the net, she competes, works to close space, and continues to improve her hand positioning. ~Theresa @prepdigdakotas    <h2 class="wp-block-heading">Thank you to all my readers for making this journey possible.
