Most 15U setters are pretty repetitive in what they set – mostly outside, with a few sets to the middle sprinkled in on perfect passes. Alexus is not your normal 2028 setter. She likes to run middles fast AND when she’s off the net, pushing the 31 set especially, at a nice quick tempo. Shepherd, also sets a very consistent set to the RS, giving her hitters the ability to hit line often. A lot of the reason that Alexus has the ability to run a balanced offense even when she is pulled off the net is her fundamentals – she quickly gets to the pass and squares up before she sets. Lastly, Shepherd can be offensive too. She has a very deceptive two-handed dump to the middle of the court that she doesn’t overuse but uses at the right times.
