Charlotte has truly found her rhythm as a setter, coming off a standout club season with Tstreet. She already had the tools—clean hands, solid strength—but her ball placement has taken a huge leap, moving from good to elite in just one year.

Running the offense isn’t for the faint of heart, but Charlotte handles the pressure like a pro. She disguises her sets with confidence and delivers a smooth, deceptive back set that catches defenders off guard time and time again. With her poise, precision, and playmaking ability, Charlotte is definitely one to keep an eye on. —Kantessa Bryant-Miller @prepdignv

Charlotte Makanui Charlotte Makanui 5'6" | S/DS/L Liberty | 2026 State NV is an explosion of hustle and excitement ready to happen and we saw a glimpse of this at the Top 250 Expo! She competed with her team at the expo as a setter and displayed an array of skills that included aggressive attacking, efficient digs, confident serves and pass, but Charlotte simply leads with ease! Her ability to pin-point her passes as a setter is essential when it comes to giving her offensive attackers confidence. Charlotte is ready to make a difference as she prepares for the next club season but she is absolutely ready to commit.

Charlotte is definitely a player to keep an eye on in the class of 2026. She first made a lasting impression at our Stock Up Showcase in August, earning top performer honors, and has continued to excel during the school season. Her clean sets and ability to place the ball perfectly for her attackers create great opportunities for powerful hits.

Charlotte had some of the cleanest hands at the showcase. Her sets were like butter and made the hitters’ jobs easier. She made excellent decisions during competitive drills and games, consistently placing the ball in optimal spots for her hitters, particularly in the middle. I’m looking forward to watching her in person during the high school season and following her progress throughout her career.
