2028 Prospects Deserving More Coverage, Part 2

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>The Class of 2028 is still coming together in terms of what players are going to emerge from the pack.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>A talented group, some have clearly established themselves at the top already. However, there are still plenty of prospects that can make that climb that we haven't seen the best of yet.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Here's the second of our two-part look at some 2028 prospects that have earned more coverage.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:heading --> <h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='644221' first='Addison' last='DeVries'], DS/L Grandville/FaR Out</strong></h2> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>DeVries has a calm and collected approach to her play. She makes a lot of her digs look rather effortless, but that's just due to being in good position and getting low to the ground. DeVries has a clean delivery and will continue to get better as a defender as she faces&nbsp; more fast-paced offenses and attackers.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:heading --> <h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='712151' first='Lily' last='Eveland'], DS/L Lowell/FaR Out</strong></h2> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Eveland shows a lot of promise in the back row. She's willing to be aggressive in her style and go after the ball as opposed to waiting for it. She's able to play a clean pass even when she has to adjust her position quickly. Eveland stays light on her feet and has been improving on her serve receive.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:heading --> <h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='742029' first='Kaelyn' last='Horcha'], MB Hartland/L2</strong></h2> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Horcha is an active player at the net. Some of her best plays come when she is simply reacting to a free ball as opposed to winding up for a big swing. She has a good sense of where the ball needs to go and doesn't overthink things. There's room for growth in terms of footwork and tempo, but right now Horcha is in a good place as a prospect.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:heading --> <h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='732304' first='Lena' last='Lancaster'], OH/DS Vicksburg/Dead Frog</strong></h2> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Lancaster shows a lot of consistency in her swing. It's a really smooth and technically sound swing that generates consistent power. Lancaster is able to attack boundaries and play a strong ball, from the front row or the back. She stays prepared for the ball to come her way and has a good vertical as well. Lancaster looks like a hitter that can become an impact player in the near future.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:heading --> <h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='724836' first='Addison' last='Weber'], OH/DS Ubly/Mavericks</strong></h2> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Weber is getting an opportunity to take on a good amount of swings this club season, which should bode well for her confidence and growth as a player. She's showing a knack for being able to come through with a key play, whether it be at the net or with her defense. Weber displays a good court IQ and steady form on her attacks. As her speed picks up, she can be a real difference-maker.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:heading --> <h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='664290' first='Heidi' last='White'], S East Grand Rapids/MVA</strong></h2> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>A 5'11” setter, White looks really comfortable pushing a fast pace offensively. She challenges herself to make some difficult sets, but they have paid off with some great swings out of her pins. White is able to adjust quickly and make some aggressive plays of her own from the position as well.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:heading --> <h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='732306' first='Reese' last='Williams'], OH Roscommon</strong></h2> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>A dual-sport athlete, Williams looks every bit the part of a future star, just needs to get a few more eyes on her playing in Northern Michigan. She's got a great approach to the net, covering a lot of space with her athleticism and vertical. Her swing is powerful, but consistent in its delivery. Wiliams also smoothly transitions from defender to attacker, able to make key plays in both areas during the same rally.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
