Of course, we had to include the tournament champs. Bott, like many of the other players we’ll see on this list, can carry a dual role as a setter-hitter in any lineup. She dished a quick, precise offense for Manhattan Mayhem last weekend and had a knack for finding the hot hand at the right times. We didn’t know what to expect from the Kansas crew in Des Moines, but Bott left an impression that will permeate our entire coverage of the 2026 season. This won’t be the last time we see Manhattan Mayhem this spring.
