Nakagawa represents Liberty and plays club volleyball for Vegas Volley. While I've had the opportunity to watch her on film, this event will be my first chance to evaluate her in person, and I'm excited to see her in action. The 2029 defensive prospect's first-step reactions, platform control, and ability to turn defensive touches into playable balls will be key areas I'll be watching throughout the showcase.

Lomeli recorded 143 receptions, 56 digs and 25 aces this past season as a sophomore on Cheyenne varsity. She also delivered an impressive 11-ace performance against Western late in the season, providing a notable example of her scoring potential from the service line. Her combination of serve-receive experience and serving production adds another angle to this backcourt group.
