While I can’t scout as many club teams as I’d like due to time constraints, those occasions at least provide access to a lot of players at one time and place. I miss even more during the high school season because a lot of it is dedicated to two-team conference matchups, which are great. That leads me to Grimm, who I watched at the Prep Dig Sizzle last August. She was the engine for a Knight operation that would end up reaching the regional finals in another fine season. I hadn’t witnessed her progress since August, so I checked her Hudl page for clips from the campaign that saw her lead the team with 435 kills (.199), and add 321 digs and 43.0 digs. We see what impressed me at the Sizzle – a dynamic, quick-twitch athlete that plays hard and to win all of the time. A lot of the footage is of her attacking from the outside. It’s explosion off the court and a quick swing that generates power. She reads the block and holes in the defense well, increasing her odds of putting the ball down. While she doesn’t include back-row clips on her Hudl page, Grimm flashed a lot of potential there during the Sizzle.
