Setters and Liberos to Keep an Eye on This Season Post-StockUp

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>The StockUp Showcase gave several setters and liberos a chance to stand out with strong performances, clean fundamentals, and consistent ball control. From setters delivering accurate balls and running the offense smoothly to liberos making tough passes look routine, these players made their presence felt. After what they showed at StockUp, these are a few setters and liberos worth keeping an eye on throughout the upcoming season.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["681114"],"_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-6a8cda707cf37"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Jenna has very clean hands and delivers a consistent, accurate ball. She does a good job putting the ball on the money on both front sets and back sets. Her release is smooth, and she gives her hitters a very hittable ball. She looks comfortable setting in multiple directions and shows good overall control of the offense. After already experiencing championship success, Jenna will be looking to add a third championship ring this season. --Kantessa Bryant-Miller @prepdignv</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["528899"],"_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-6a8cda707cfb4"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Zoey passes well in serve receive and is comfortable using her hands when needed. She plays with good effort, gets on the floor for balls, and does a nice job running through passes when appropriate. She also beats the ball to the spot, gets stopped before contact, and finishes with a controlled platform. She has a hard float serve as well. Zoey is coming off a stellar club season with Vegas Aces, helping her team earn a national bid and carrying that momentum into the upcoming season. --Kantessa Bryant-Miller @prepdignv</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["892672"],"_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-6a8cda707d021"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Skye has really smooth hands and does a great job pushing the ball across the court from distance. Her pin sets are clean and consistent, and she moves her feet well in transition. She also mixes in timely setter dumps to keep the defense honest. Defensively, she creates strong angles, gets low when passing, and hustles to make plays. --Kantessa Bryant-Miller @prepdignv</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["525979"],"_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-6a8cda707d08c"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Ariella has a tough no-spin float serve and creates great angles when passing. Her passing form is very clean, and she shows good control with her platform. She does a nice job getting her body behind the ball and staying balanced through contact. She looks composed in serve receive and gives herself a good chance to consistently deliver a hittable pass. --Kantessa Bryant-Miller @prepdignv</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["774708"],"_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-6a8cda707d0f6"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Sophie brings a steady presence in serve receive and shows a strong foundation as a passer. She does a good job getting her body behind the ball, staying balanced, and creating a clean platform through contact. Her fundamentals allow her to handle pace well and keep the ball controlled toward target. As she continues to gain reps, her consistency in the back row should be something to watch this season. --Kantessa Bryant-Miller @prepdignv</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:image {"id":1037210,"width":"273px","height":"auto","aspectRatio":"1.523796832165702","sizeSlug":"large","linkDestination":"none"} --> <figure class="wp-block-image size-large is-resized"><img src="https://prepdig.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/5/2025/07/28-Sophie-Giacalone-crop-2496x1638-1788209599.jpg?w=800" alt="" class="wp-image-1037210" style="aspect-ratio:1.523796832165702;width:273px;height:auto" /></figure> <!-- /wp:image --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["767430"],"_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-6a8cda707d15f"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Ryden shows good serve-receive ability and looks comfortable handling the first contact. She does a nice job getting herself into position before the ball arrives and stays balanced through the pass. Her passing ability gives her a solid foundation as a back-row player, and she shows good control when directing the ball toward target. She also moves well to the ball and looks composed when handling different types of serves. --Kantessa Bryant-Miller @prepdignv</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["611396"],"_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-6a8cda707d1c8"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Lina does a good job sticking her passes and showing control in serve receive. She keeps the ball steady off her platform and consistently gives her setter a playable first contact. Her ability to stay composed and settle into the pass stands out as a strength in her game. With that foundation, Lina should be in position to shine this upcoming season at Sierra Vista. --Kantessa Bryant-Miller @prepdignv</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Thank you for supporting Prep Dig Nevada.
