Those that made the biggest changes in their personal rankings make the easiest targets, as they're the ones doing the most eye-catching stuff while being special to those that are recruiting them. Here are five athletes from five different clubs from around the state of Indiana that really caught not only my eyes but the eyes of recruiters nationally.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["586738"],"_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-6a7295898bb0f"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">In the small-but-mighty category, Kate is a dynamo of a libero, and will take her high-energy talents to Taylor, an NAIA power near Fort Wayne. With quick feet and an even quicker reaction time, Kate's ability to change a game from out-of-system to in-system just by her passing makes her one of the better and more accomplished liberi that can be found in this class. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["489971"],"_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-6a7295898bb7f"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">One of my admitted blind spots when writing about players is southwestern Indiana, where kids like Halle have been thriving doing their thing. Miss Recker has strong hands that she can take the ball high with, and is deceptive enough to make even the most accomplished blockers think twice before commit blocking. Evansville, of the Missouri Valley Conference, has a steal of a setter coming as a future Purple Ace, and will make the setting stable there a bit better upon her arrival.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["521673"],"_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-6a7295898bbd1"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Quinn's high-flying and hard-hitting style will carry her far for Campbell next fall. Hitting a heavy ball to all angles and maximizing each and every jump of hers got her this far, Miss Reynolds can terminate from anywhere on the court, from front to back row. Every part of her game is well-rounded, and the Camels got a good one with this recruit.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["586434"],"_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-6a7295898bc20"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Another solid libero recruit, this time from Fort Wayne, Miss Inman will stay close to home at Purdue Fort Wayne and make the Mastodons that much better upon her arrival. Able to be in the mix of each and every contact—-from block coverage to hard-driven defense to out-of-system setting—-Courtney should see some early playing time next fall, bringing much-needed passing and defense to the ‘Dons.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["710310"],"_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-6a7295898bc6f"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">A big and physical thumper, Auden can terminate from both pins with ease using her size and shoulder strength to power over and through weaker, smaller blocks. She has great court vision to go along with that size—-it's not often you see a 6'+ kid have shot selections other than “heavy”, yet you'll see Miss Hummel hit a few 3/4 speed line shots from impossible sets that score points easily. In order to compete in the Missouri Valley, Indiana State got a good one in Auden, and added some much needed size for the Sycamores.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->
