Expert Analysis
Kyp Harasymowycz | Prep Dig Scout
Playing bigger than her frame might suggest, Marlee is a physical M2 with aspirations of playing at the next level. Her long arms help a ton on hitting angles around and over blocks, while her footwork gets her to where she’s going by using long strides. I like her ability to change her shot-making ability throughout a match, as someone her size will need that skill at the next level. Also on court 1 on Saturday, she starts at 2pm.

Aside from Harper listed above, most of this list has a ton of kids from smaller schools that have been largely overlooked this season. With Miss Armstrong, we continue that small-school theme. She’s got arms for days, allowing her to attack higher than her 5’10” frame might otherwise dictate. Her block is more refined and consistent than her attack at the moment—I’d like to see her give herself a little space from the net when attacking, as that would allow us to see what a full arm swing from her looks like. With great training at Pineapple, plus her long arms, she’s a work in progress that will be a nice addition down the road at a small school.
