Bob Abels | Prep Dig Scout
Not currently ranked but she impressed Jeremy at a Prep Dig showcase in Salt Lake City. She shows good finesse setting the middles and right sides. Her defense also stands out with good reads to react the tips. At 5’5″ her size will restrict her to a 6’2″ but she has the quickness to always get to her spot, then react to the pass to still get underneath the ball to set with two hands. Love to see setters play like that.
This will be my first opportunity to see her play.

I’ve seen Isabella a few times, as she’s from my home turf, but glad to see she brought it out west for this event. She’s a smaller setter, but for me, if you can do the job, I’m not worried about how tall you are setting. She’s got good hands and sets the middle and right side with some finesse. She plays great defense acting like an extra lib out there. Getting tips to drop is a tough ask when she’s on the court, and taking those away from a team makes a game very different. She’s quick and always gets to the right spot with plenty of time, and for me is a fantastic 6-2 setter, even though I’ve seen her poke a kill over the net with a one handed jab a few times.
