Each of the positions are well represented in the “uncommitted” list, so we're taking time to talk about each position individually. Here are five middles from around the state that are under the recruiting radar who should be receiving a bit more attention for the remainder of the club season.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["502100"],"_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-69da69f4e5204"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Long, lean and quick, Madden comes from a high school program that is one of the best in the state at the current moment. She's not getting as much playing time at the high school level, but her club play has REALLY shone brightly this spring. With a high contact point, a solid block and the ability to be ready to attack quickly, Madden will be a steal for any program looking for a big middle with a ton of potential.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["586739"],"_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-69da69f4e5271"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">The strong and silent type, Kenley is a physical middle who can power through blocks regularly. With upper body strength for days, Miss Mitchell does her job with power and force that just isn't seen from your average Indiana middle blocker. Quiet and unassuming, Kenley's plays bigger than her frame, has stamina and strength that shows relentlessness, and will be a nice pick up in this class to make any middle blocking group better.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["502098"],"_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-69da69f4e52c5"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Caroline is a six foot middle with 6-3 arms. The length is sneaky, and helps her attack high and hard while also being a solid block with her length and penetration. Currently looking every bit the part of an M2, she plays up on TI's 18-1, which is the very definition of ‘under-the-radar'—-most 18s have already committed places, so not too many have seen Caroline do her thing because of her age. Miss Wilmering is strong, consistent in her work ethic, attacks terminally and can defend the net from pin to pin with ease.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["741562"],"_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-69da69f4e5315"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">About as under-the-radar as you can get, Avery is a raw and very athletic middle that can dabble a bit as a right side option on both offense and defense. Forest Park is a tiny high school in southwestern Indiana, and Metro might not be the biggest club, but the beating she can put on a ball is impressive and has size and length for days that looks every bit the part of a D1 volleyball recruit. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["504731"],"_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-69da69f4e5363"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Big, physical and full of positive vibes, Rylie hits a high-and-hard ball that's tough to defend for both blockers and floor defenders alike. The transition is there, she's on time and ready to hit in any situation, legitimately. I've personally seen her score points on the left, the middle, the right, and blocking all of those spots as well. For her future, she's a middle/right side hybrid, and would do well with an offense that can take advantage of her doing both at an above-average level.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->
