She has good instincts in the back row and flows well with the action. Humphrey tracks the ball well in serve-receive and gets to her spots in lining up against heavy-hitting pins. She's receiving excellent coaching from her club and high school programs, which will help her stay on a strong development path. Humphrey is one to watch moving forward. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["893058"],"_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-6a55af7e64110"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">I cannot locate what club is home to Kamies, but she certainly would be desirable for one in need of a dynamic setter with interesting upside. That's based on highlights housed on her Hud page, featuring action from her freshman season of 2025 at Boyden-Hull. She recorded 590 assists with 39.0 blocks, 179 digs and 31.0 kills. Kamies is smart, taking advantage of holes in the defense when she attacks. Her sets are high to the pin and on target. Tall with long arms, Kamies defends well at the net and also is sound in serve-receive.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["785529"],"_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-6a55b2b3712b2"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Lacina is a well-kept secret on the Iowa volleyball scene but it's starting to get out. She put together an encouraging freshman year at West Branch in 2025 and followed it up with a step forward competing with Iowa United 15-2 Elite. She's an explosive athlete with great bounce off the court and rise on the vertical leap. Lacina generates point-ending power in her heavy swing and does well attacking soft spots in the defense. A good athlete, she's refining her overall volleyball skills and a a high-school breakout this fall would seem a good bet. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["855017"],"_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-6a55b5538fb61"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Ortmann spent last prep season developing on the Dallas Center-Grimes junior varsity as a freshman. She transferred over what she learned during that campaign into a positive club year working with Iowa Impact. Ortmann proved consistent in serve-receive, tracking the ball well and delivering usable passes. She also flashes a sound skills for defending against the opposing attack. A keen feel for match flow shows a high volleyball IQ.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["882740"],"_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-6a55b89453474"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Ray is a player that impressed us during in-person scouting opportunities of her freshman season of 2025 at Bondurant-Farrar. She offered upside at the pin and in defending the back row. For Iowa Impact 15-1 Elite this club year, Ray locked in as a libero. A good athlete with lateral quickness and sharp reflexes, she covers a lot of ground in defending against the attack. Ray is sound in serve-receive, tracking the ball and stepping to the spot. She communicates well with teammates in helping get everybody on the same page. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->
