Kaylie is another great setter from the class of 2028, and one that has shown a high level of play throughout region play and NQ play. Her awareness is one thing that stands out to me. She’s seems to know how to manipulate the defense by using her eyes, body positioning, and timing to create openings rather than just reacting to the pass. There’s a noticeable willingness to take risks in the right moments, whether that’s going behind in transition or mixing in an aggressive setter dump to steal a point. Her court IQ shows in those tough moments as someone who understands the game at a high level.

First, defensively, she is active, reads the game well, and consistently keeps rallies alive with effort plays and smart positioning. She seems to see the game at an elite level and can anticipate plays as they are happening. Also her serve continues to improve and already creates problems for opposing passers with placement and tempo variation. She knows who to attack and will attack their seams to create chaos for them.
