Expert Analysis

Anthony Jones

Prep Dig Scout

Emily Van Aken Emily Van Aken 5'7" | OH/MB Centennial | 2030 NV came to the Freshman Showcase determined to ball out of control and she did just that. There was no stopping her as she was on a mission, not only to be a top performer, but to notch her name and ability in our memory because she is that athlete.

She shows no fear when she’s on the attack and her 5’8 stature positions her to be high in vertical and destructive in her strikes. She is a non-stop work-a-holic that make sure the efforts of her defense results in an offensive point. Her leadership and poise are very evident on the court and we can’t wait to see what the future holds for this baller. – Anthony Jones (Prep Dig Nevada Scout)

Emily Van Aken Emily Van Aken 5'7" | OH/MB Centennial | 2030 NV earned MVP at the Nevada Freshman Showcase, August 8, 2026.

Emily plays with intuition and reads the game well. Her blocking and swings are strong all around, and her court communication stands out. She brings a team-first mentality and leads by example, taking the initiative in drills and pushing her teammates to compete.
