These athletes are showing command of the court with location consistency, decision-making under pressure, and the ability to disguise their sets to keep blockers off balance. They're not just racking up assist totals—they're proving they can control pace, elevate their hitters, and lead from the first serve to the final point.   For college coaches, this group is the heartbeat of Wisconsin volleyball right now. One setter has already secured her future with a commitment, but the rest are still unclaimed—presenting a rare opportunity to land a high-IQ floor leader who can instantly impact your program. If you're searching for a player who thrives in system, makes smart reads out of system, and has the poise to manage big-match moments, these setters should be at the top of your list.    [player_tooltip player_id='446662' first='Izzy' last='Reichert'] | Regis (Eau Claire), Class of 2026 — Committed to UW-La Crosse   With 548 assists already, Reichert is proving she's more than just consistent—she's dominant in how she controls the offense. She has excellent location precision, consistently putting her hitters in the best position to score. What separates her is her ability to run tempo; she's not afraid to speed up sets to the pins or run a quick ball to the middle to break down a block. She disguises her choices well, keeping defenses guessing, and she has the poise of a player already operating at the next level. <a href="https://www.instagram.com/prepdigdakotas/?hl=en">~Theresa @prepdigdakotas</a>     At 428 assists, [player_tooltip player_id='454686' first='Emree' last='Kellerman'] shows she's a setter who understands how to keep an offense balanced. She distributes well, involving all three zones, and doesn't fall into predictable patterns. She thrives in out-of-system situations, making smart choices that limit errors while still giving her hitters swings they can work with. Her ability to run tempo and make quick decisions shows strong volleyball IQ and an instinctive feel for the game. <a href="https://www.instagram.com/prepdigdakotas/?hl=en">~Theresa @prepdigdakotas</a>     Sitting at 422 assists, Haines shows technical consistency with clean hands and smooth release. She has the ability to push the ball pin-to-pin with accuracy, which makes her dangerous against larger blocks. Haines is a setter who excels in system, but her footwork also allows her to chase down off-target passes and still deliver a hittable ball. She shows advanced decision-making by not overusing her go-to hitter and keeping defenses on their heels with varied distribution. <a href="https://www.instagram.com/prepdigdakotas/?hl=en">~Theresa @prepdigdakotas</a>     [player_tooltip player_id='284079' first='Alayna' last='Deprez'], with 415 assists, shows a fast arm and the ability to run a quicker offense. She reads opposing blockers well and adjusts her set location accordingly, which helps her hitters find seams. She's comfortable running the middle and has good timing with her attackers, a trait that immediately adds value for programs looking for a setter who can diversify an offense. Her developing leadership and ability to steady her team in tough rotations makes her an intriguing recruit. <a href="https://www.instagram.com/prepdigdakotas/?hl=en">~Theresa @prepdigdakotas</a>     With 408 assists, Paetyn Jirschele is already showing the kind of composure you want in a setter. She distributes evenly across her front row, forcing defenses to respect every option. What stands out is her calm under pressure—whether it's a long rally or a match-point situation, she continues to make smart reads. Her tempo control allows her hitters to stay in rhythm, and her ability to push the ball deep to the pins keeps the offense running even when she's setting from tough spots. <a href="https://www.instagram.com/prepdigdakotas/?hl=en">~Theresa @prepdigdakotas</a>     Katelyn Lee, at 403 assists, has proven herself as a steady, reliable presence on the court. She runs a clean offense with repeatable tempo, but also shows flashes of creativity in transition, slipping in quicks or back sets when defenders least expect it. She excels at salvaging broken plays, chasing down tight or off-target passes and still producing a hittable ball. Her ability to maintain consistency while also adding variety is the type of skill that translates directly to the college game. <a href="https://www.instagram.com/prepdigdakotas/?hl=en">~Theresa @prepdigdakotas</a>    <h2 class="wp-block-heading">Thank you to all my readers for making this journey possible.
