2029 Middle Blocker Prospects To Watch

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>These six rising sophomores got it done during their club seasons and are on our radar headed into Nationals and/or their fall school seasons. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["908340"],"_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-6a2cca338078b"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Riehl played with confidence during her club season with Apex NW 15 Elevate; she hammered down overpasses and made decisive moves as a blocker using smart eyework out of the middle. She has strong hands and good timing on her press; Riehl racked up blocks and block touches during the PSR Power League and worked hard in transition to make herself available as an attacking option. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["995777"],"_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-6a2cca3380801"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">The Selah prospect played well with CRU Max 15 at the SLC Showdown. In a comeback win in game one over Legacy 15-3, Hartung served out the match, playing hustling defense in the back row after she battled hard at the net in the middle. She has good length at 5'10", works hard to close the block, and does the little things like covering her hitters and staying in position defensively when she is on the service line. Hartung is a player who has room to develop and should be a prospect to watch as she moves into her sophomore season. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["952053"],"_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-6a2cca338084e"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Stull plays with decisiveness and strength in the middle; she makes good decisions when she has to make a play on an overpass or joust. The Woodinville 2029 prospect has been a big part of a Blue Royals team that has had an excellent club season. Stull mixes clever tips with hard swings as an attacker; she finds good approach angles to her setters and keeps the ball in play even on challenging sets. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["949966"],"_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-6a2cca3380897"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Hoffman played as a six-rotation OH for Podio, and her outstanding physicality and athleticism shone bright during the club season. At 6'1", the Bellevue Christian prospect has ideal length- and she has a powerful swing, a terrific vertical, and can use her off hand to make plays as an attacker. Hoffmann seems to be just scratching the surface and should be a breakout player this fall. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["890151"],"_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-6a2cca33808de"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Wellington and her Dakine 15 National Pink squad aren't done yet; they will compete at Nationals before concluding their season. The Eastside catholic standout was a momentum changer for Dakine- when she hammers down an overpass or stuffs down a block, she energizes the players around her. Wellington can swing hard angle around the block or find the deep corner; she has excellent vision and feel when she is on the attack. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["990899"],"_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-6a2cca3380926"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Broderson is a multi-sport athlete from Bishop Blanchet- she can play on the pin or in the middle, and she has solid athleticism that shows up in the volleyball gym and when she plays tough defense on the basketball court. Broderson plays bigger than her listed 5'9"; she competes hard as a blocker and defender and has an all-around skill set that stands out when you watch her play. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
