Expert Analysis

Prep Dig Scout

Vanden Hull was a key reason that Ohana 17 National competed well when I watched it at the Impact Invite earlier this month in Ankeny. Playing in her home town, the Centennial junior set up a third-place finish in the event’s 17/18 Division. She’s a crafty and technically sound performer at her position. Vanden Hull consistently puts the ball in advantageous spots for her attackers, reading the defense well and picking up on the other team’s blocking tendencies. She’s a good athlete with agility that moves well around the court, allowing her to get in the best spot possible to set up the cleanest swing. Those traits also aid her in serve-receive, where she tracks the ball well, and in defending the back row. The lefty can end points on the attack, too, and help out on the block. The state runner-up Jaguars lost two senior setters from the program after the 2025 season, giving Vanden Hull an opening for a bigger role this coming campaign.

Emma Vanden Hull Emma Vanden Hull 5'7" | S/RS Ankeny Centennial | 2027 State IA has been on the Prep Dig radar for a couple years where she is the setter who can run the show. She will be playing for Ohana 17U National out of Des Moines. She is a defender first where she can lock it down in right back, make the quick move to the net and put her attackers in position to score points. They will be in the 17 American Division.

Part of a powerful setter duo with PowerPlex, Vanden Hull helps make sure there’s steady play at the position throughout the match. She’s technically sound there, which leads to consistently reliable play. Vanden Hull is athletic and agile, which aids her on-court movements and allows her to work at the opposite pin when she’s not at her main position. It’s a deep and talented Jaguars program, but it feels like Vanden Hull can play an important role in 2025.
