Tiffany Snook Tiffany Snook 6'2" | MB Hamilton Southeastern | 2024 State #186 Nation IN , 6-2, Hamilton Southeastern, Munciana
Tiffany is a long, lean and explosive middle that thrives on beating her opponents with fast transition. Her net defense is also above average for her position; she is rarely beaten or out of position, and makes great recovery steps from pin to pin. Not only is she getting great training with Munciana, but she’s also got a state championship (’22) trophy on her mantle, with the possibility of earning another next fall. This is a can’t-miss recruit that can play either middle position in any system.
Scarlett Kimbrell Scarlett Kimbrell 6'0" | OH Franklin Community | 2024 State IN , 6-0, Franklin Community, Circle City
Of the four on this list, none are more unique than Scarlett. Her new high school coach had her play as a primary passing outside for the entirety of the high school season, resulting in a 21 win season for the Grizzly Cubs. She has the ability to play any position along the front row, and uses her above average basketball talents to be an exceptional M1 at the next level. Athletic and springy, Miss Kimbrell seems to always out jump the competition, regardless of size. You can find her on Circle’s 17 Purple roster.
Marlina Anderson Marlina Anderson 6'0" | MB North Central | 2024 State IN , 6-0, North Central, Academy
An M2 if there ever was one, Marlina has some of the fastest transitions in Central Indiana. She’s always ready to hit, and does well on sets away from the setter. Even if the set isn’t perfect, Miss Anderson doesn’t just wail away at the ball—-she makes a smarter shot to score points. Of the four on this list, Marlina has the strongest upper body. She plays the game with a smooth and strong athleticism, and makes it look easy while playing.
Lilly Merk Lilly Merk 6'0" | MB Terre Haute South Vigo | 2024 State IN , 6-0, Terre Haute South, Circle City
Lilly is an explosive middle with a fast arm that can play either middle position. She has all of the shots to make blocks close to irrelevant, and can hit multiple tempi in many different situations in both the front and back rows. Defensively, she takes long strides to block from pin to pin, and has the numbers to back it up. Speaking of numbers, here are her career stats: 800+ kills, 200+ blocks, 100+ aces, .380+. Numbers don’t lie, and you’ll see why once you watch her in person. You can find her of Circle’s 18 Purple roster.
