Daily Dozen: 12 Players We’re Excited to See at Nebraska Stock Up Showcase

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Start the countdown.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>We're less than a day away from the start of showcase festivities in La Vista. It's a doubleheader featuring the Nebraska Stock Up Showcase and our revamped Freshman Showcase. I'll be on-site to cover the action, and we'll have a lot of athletes to discuss afterward.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Why not start the discussion beforehand? We've been able to peek at the entry lists and see who could shine on the showcase stage. Several familiar names occupy the Stock Up Showcase list, making this a perfect opportunity to publish a preview.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Choices are seemingly limitless, but we're capping this at a dozen. Here are 12 names to know as we converge on Omaha.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["458181"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-669b237998d25"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Wiechman's late-season surge has been something to behold. She helped [program_tooltip program_id='428728' first='River' last='City Jrs'] 16 Navy clinch an AAU title--all while playing up an age group. This athletic middle blocker brings a balanced game that will translate well to our Prep Dig Circuit. Wiechman should find a way to make an impact, whether it's through terminal swings or positive block touches.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["521309"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":["override_image"],"_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_player_featured_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_player_featured_image":"field_62f141137ead9","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-669b237998d92"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">[program_tooltip program_id='428728' first='River' last='City Jrs'] is compiling some serious depth in the Class of 2027. That's especially true at the libero spot, and Tauriella has emerged as one of the club's best. She held down the end line for 15 Navy and was particularly good at picking up tips and roll shots. Tauriella will be a compelling defender to watch in Sunday's team drills.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["213983"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-669b237998dd8"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">This won't be Hofer's first rodeo. She brought some Nebraska representation to our Des Moines showcase a few months ago, and Hofer took full advantage of the trip. Her steady passing and lockdown defense turned heads at one of the most talent-packed showcases on the circuit. Expect more of the same in Omaha.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["518612"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-669b237998e1a"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Nebraska Juniors is bringing some of its top performers to this weekend's event. Uhrmacher joins Sunday's libero group after she commanded Nebraska Juniors 16 Black's ball-control unit. This savvy defender also carried an outside hitter role with Aurora High School last fall, where she generated plenty of highlight moments in the frontcourt.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["510900"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-669b237998e6c"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Let's bring [program_tooltip program_id='428717' first='Nebraska' last='ONE'] into the mix. Lehr was one of our earliest standouts of the 2024 club season as she piloted 15 Lime's offense from the setter spot. Her poise and precision were central to the team's success from the Midwest Power League to the GPR Bid Tournament. Lincoln East is bringing in a good one.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["458130"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-669b237998eb1"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Schuerman can do a little of everything, which is a perfect trait for a showcase environment. She has shown her prowess as a setter, libero, and a lot more throughout her prep career. Her recent tenure with [program_tooltip program_id='428717' first='Nebraska' last='ONE'] 15 Black put her defensive skills on display, and Schuerman is bound to continue that momentum at Sunday's showcase.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["512869"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-669b237998ef1"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">We'll have no shortage of quality setters for this one. Moulton is part of the ironclad pipeline between Omaha Concordia and Club Legacy. She just wrapped up an outstanding season with 15 Alpha and was often tasked with running a 5-1 offense. The Stock Up Showcase will offer insight into where Moulton stands as we ponder our initial 2027 rankings.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["396751"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-669b237998f30"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Moone left a lasting impression at this year's Great Plains Region Bid Tournament. She carried a heavy burden as her Banzai VBC 16 Select squad fought off elimination in this late-season event. We'll get to see more of Moone's effortless elevation at Sunday's showcase--and it's not her first showcase, either.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["486890"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-669b237998f6f"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Fogelstrom is no stranger to the Prep Dig Circuit, where she got a head start on our Class of 2027 scouting. She followed up her prior showcase appearance with a stout 2024 campaign in the Nebraska Elite gym. The Northern Lights Qualifier served as an early reminder of Fogelstrom's aptitude, and we're excited to see how much she has progressed since then.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["443105"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-669b237998fb1"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Nebraska Juniors 16 Black is well-represented here. Meints was a major all-around contributor this year and scored with a variety of shots. Off-speed attacks quickly emerged as one of Meints' go-to tactics at AAU Nationals, but she can just as easily terminate with her power. Look out for this dynamic outside hitter as she prepares for her sophomore season at Beatrice.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["518569"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-669b237998ff0"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Ammon was another athlete who captured the spotlight during [program_tooltip program_id='428728' first='River' last='City Jrs'] 16 Navy's championship effort. Her native position is at middle blocker, but we also saw Ammon flourish as a right-side hitter at AAUs. The Blair native brings length and power that will immediately turn heads in positional drills.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["458174"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-669b23799902f"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Prepare for an influx of small-town talent. Homolka surpassed 200 kills in her debut season with Central City High School, so the bar is set high for Year 2. Before we get there, this Nebraska Juniors outside hitter has more to prove through our Omaha showcase.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->
