Mariska followed former teammates to Paramount this year, the talent, the exposure, the high level play, it makes sense. But I’ve been saying for a few weeks now sometimes you end up with TOO much talent and some coaches run a shorter bench than others. This situation reminds me a bit of Kieran Rhoton Kieran Rhoton 6'0" | RS/OH Independencesc | 2027 State VA at VA Juniors . She was buried behind a lot of talent on Metro Travel, and left for Juniors this year, where she’s been getting featured player playing time and is an absolute monster out there. Mariska is a similar type player and with more of a chance out on the court I think everyone will see that she is a special player. Whether someone understands the level team she’s on and makes her an offer based on ID Camps, or if she goes a route of signing with a lower tier school with featured playing time and then transferring to a bigger school, she is a great player who will make a difference at the next level.

Mariska is a very talented hitter. She’s played a lot of RS in her day, but could easily be an OH as well. She focused a lot of training on her defense and can play all the way around. Her hitting is downright terrifying, with the ability to go line or cross at will, and her serving is a solid weapon as well. She’s a player that colleges should get on sooner than later, as someone is going to scoop her up and get a major addition to their program.
