<p>It's been a while since we've taken a look at some of the really tall talent that's growing in Minnesota. Height and length is an advantage that can't be taught or gained with hard work. Height can add an extra level of physicality that can make a big difference in a match whether on defense or offense. Here are some imposing athletes who can intimidate on the front line.</p>

<p class="text-gray-700">Myhre was a huge utility player for Caledonia this season as I think I saw her taking swings from all across the net this past fall. Her club and high school experience have proven invaluable. Myhre made an impact no matter where she was on the net. She provides length and physicality at the net for any squad to thrive.</p>

<p class="text-gray-700">Gravelle is not only versatile in the front row but the back row as well. I got to see her play both wing defensive positions this fall which isn't something you normally see from a middle. I think with the right pieces around her should could have a breakout club season. She hits a gnarly slide but also takes a great approach from either pin or out of the middle. Gravelle has a physical presence that will put her among some top 16's talent.</p>

<p class="text-gray-700">Hanson immediately pulled attention when she took a monster rip on a fast outside ball out of serve receive while at the Class AA Showcase. She's also one of those middles that will head back to the service line and do some damage with a solid float serve. Hanson can swing with a heavy arm or bounce the ball off the blocker's hands to get the job done.</p>

<p class="text-gray-700">Michaelis has been an impact player on every team she has played on over the past year. She sets a big block and made herself an asset as a setter this year to help her team make another run to the X. As an attacker she takes smart shots including a tip that goes just over the block, uses the block, and she knows how to mix things up to keep the defense guessing.</p>

<p class="text-gray-700">Bunge is a really explosive attacker who makes a big difference in a match. She has a wicked serve with a lot of movement that passers struggle with. Bunge is well on her way to being an elite middle in the class of 2027.</p>
