Hoosiers at GJNC: Part 4

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Moving right along in our GJNC preview, we have one team with a completely uncommitted roster and another with a completely committed roster. Here are two teams that have an embarrassment of riches in all aspects of the game.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:heading --> <h2 class="wp-block-heading">Boiler Juniors 171E Gold, 17 Open</h2> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>The embarrassment of riches is real on this roster. We start with <strong>[player_tooltip player_id='110523' first='Allie' last='Shondell'] ('24, 5-10 S, Purdue commit)</strong> and <strong>[player_tooltip player_id='110506' first='Sienna' last='Foster'] ('24, 5-10 OH, Purdue commit),</strong> who anchor this squad and will make the Boilermakers <em>that </em>much better in the fall of '24. <strong>[player_tooltip player_id='155569' first='Emma' last='Segal'] ('24, 5-6 DS/L, Indiana commit)</strong> has her sights set on the Big Ten as well, and has Big Ten all-conference potential. <strong>[player_tooltip player_id='171344' first='Aesha' last='Vogt'] ('24, 5-8 OH, Butler commit) </strong>and <strong>[player_tooltip player_id='110515' first='Riley' last='Whitlock'] ('24, 6-0 OH/RS, Ball State)</strong> will keep their D1 talents in-state for the Bulldogs and Cardinals, respectively. For a couple of big hammers, why not mention <strong>[player_tooltip player_id='110490' first='Taylor' last='Lewis'] ('24, 6-1 OH, Villanova commit), </strong> <strong>[player_tooltip player_id='240161' first='Alayna' last='Christner'] ('24, 6-2 OH, Southeastern Missouri commit)</strong> or <strong>[player_tooltip player_id='330263' first='Riley' last='Resmer'] ('24, 6-1 MB, Harvard commit)?</strong> Each attack high and hard and bring their fair share of volleyball acuity to the floor. We can't talk about this squad, however, without mentioning SEC-bound <strong>[player_tooltip player_id='110524' first='Isabella' last='Humphrey'] ('24, 5-0 DS/L, Auburn),</strong> a brilliant passer who has, on more than one occasion, bailed out her fellow passers with her amazing abilities. That leaves <strong>Aedyhn Demko ('24, 5-11 MB/RS, McCutcheon),</strong> a hybrid of an attacker who has been receiving high-level training for years, but is looking for the perfect fit for her abilities.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:heading --> <h2 class="wp-block-heading">Union 17-1 UA, 17 National</h2> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Earning their bid at the Pioneer Regional, this Indiana-based club team has plenty to go around as well. My personal favorite on this particular roster is <strong>[player_tooltip player_id='143807' first='Makenzie' last='Wagner'] ('24, 5-10 RS, Providence).</strong> She's already a state champ, has a hammer for a left shoulder, and can play all positions defensively with her high level volleyball IQ. I'm also high on <strong>[player_tooltip player_id='210180' first='Lilly' last='Tappel'] ('24, 5-10 OH, Providence), </strong>a terror from the other pin that can be a primary passing outside for any school that needs one. <strong>[player_tooltip player_id='143805' first='Ellie' last='Priddy'] ('24, 5-11 OH, Silver Creek)</strong> is also an option for both pins, and should be a tough out for opposing teams in Chicago in a couple of weeks.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
