Club Preview: ’22s at Rev and Impact

<p>This is a unique post in that we have one brand new club (Rev) and a club that draws the majority of their rosters from another state (Impact). Both have recruits that will make an impact at the next level in the fall of 2022. Here we go!</p> <p><strong>Rev 18-1</strong></p> <p>Of the group that is on this squad, the lone junior is <strong>[player_tooltip player_id="85890" first="Cheyenne" last="Hodges"], </strong>a 6-1 middle closing in on a jump touch of ten feet. I’ve personally seen her hit from both pins, in the middle as an M1 and as an M2. Realistically, however, her future lies either as an M2 (two-footed middle) or a RS (because of her size). She’s raw and athletic, and is learning quickly.</p> <p><strong>Rev 17-1</strong></p> <p>The remainder of the class of ’22 for Rev is on this roster, and there are a ton of high-flying athletes. Eight players at multiple positions, with the highlight of the bunch being <strong>I</strong><strong>mani Stokes,</strong> a 6-2 middle whose athleticism has her attack touch at almost ten feet, if she’s not there by now. Another raw athlete, Amani can take over the middle with her speed, athleticism and length. I’m personally looking forward to her progress. Another middle to keep an eye on is <strong>Katie Bremer, </strong>who led storied program Cathedral in kills and blocks last fall. <strong>Ariel Helm</strong> should also see time in the middle, another six-footer who gets up fast with quick footwork and great transition. I see <strong>[player_tooltip player_id="119625" first="Claire" last="Theobald"]</strong> as a right side, especially on this roster with as many high-level middles as there are. Her length is exceptional and makes few errors. <strong>[player_tooltip player_id="85719" first="Sydney" last="Murray"]</strong> will pound from one of the pins, probably on the left, and is also nearing the ten foot attack touch level. <strong>[player_tooltip player_id="85847" first="Maddie" last="Siegel"]</strong> should be the other outside, and is a six-rotation prospect that can also attack at ten feet. First contacts will be reserved for <strong>[player_tooltip player_id="85869" first="Emma" last="Nolley"]</strong> and <strong>Marli Ransom. </strong>Emma is a solid, controlled libero that is most comfortable in middle back, while Marli is an athletic DS that can also wear the special jersey, and does her best work in the left back.</p> <p><strong>Impact 18 Open</strong></p> <p>With their locale in Fort Wayne, near the Ohio border, it makes sense that the great majority of Impact’s teams come from Ohio. That being said, there are a few Hoosier State residents that should garner some attention from colleges. <strong>Ella Bickel</strong> is a solid DS option that receives serve with the best of them. <strong>Carly Bolser </strong>led Mississinewa in kills and blocks, while hitting nearly .300 last fall. Her 6-1 frame is a nice addition in the middle.</p> <p><strong>Impact 18 Elite</strong></p> <p>The lone junior from the state of Indiana on this squad is <strong>Asharia Winston, </strong>a solid DS option from Fort Wayne Northrup.</p>
