Gysbers was arguably the most “college-ready” attacker in the gym. I immediately noted her as an explosive jumper with a heavy swing, but what set her apart was her IQ. She isn’t just a power hitter; she displayed smart shot selection, knowing when to terminate and when to keep the rally alive.

Brooklyn Gysbers Brooklyn Gysbers 5'11" | OH/DS/L Mounds View | 2026 State MN showed the kind of adaptability that translates immediately to the college level. While she is most comfortable attacking from the pin, she was asked to take on added defensive responsibilities throughout the session and never let her level drop. Her footwork patterns adjusted seamlessly as she shifted roles, and she stayed engaged in every rally, whether terminating in-system balls or digging out of system.

What stood out was her ability to stay balanced offensively while carrying a heavier workload. Gysbers maintained a smart shot selection, tooling the block and using range rather than forcing swings. Her transition efficiency and court awareness allowed her to contribute consistently, even without extended breaks. She projects as an outside who understands the full responsibility of the position — six-rotation potential built on reliability and effort. ~Theresa @prepdigdakotas

Brooklyn was nothing short of amazing from the moment she stepped on the court. Playing with one hand in a cast, she still dominated the showcase with incredible passing accuracy and control. Her net presence was equally impressive, showcasing great formation and attacking every open spot with precision. Brooklyn stood out as one of the top players of the second session. Coaches, take note—if she’s this impactful with one hand, imagine what she’ll bring to the game when she’s fully healed and playing with two!~Theresa @prepdigdakotas
