About Miranda
Expert Analysis
Anthony Jones | Prep Dig Scout
Miranda really has shown up this month for Victorium and is someone who is going to get on some college radars this year if she continues to play like she did this past month.
Miranda shows excellent reading ability off the hitter’s approach and arm, allowing her to beat the ball to the spot rather than reacting late. Having a libero who can anticipate and move well is always hard to find, and Miranda really hits both of those super well. Her January performances were marked by calm, repeatable serve receive against both pace and movement, keeping the offense in system at a high rate. She is just so in control with her form, technique, and angles in serve receive that it is a obvious why she can pass at such a high clip.
Defensively, she covers a large amount of court with efficient movement and strong body control. Notice how we said efficient too, as she moves with such ease it seems like and really gets to locations early to dig the ball. Miranda will dig balls with intent, producing playable balls rather than emergency saves as even on tough plays she somehow makes it look easy. If you think you can hit a tip on her.. well you are wrong! She also excels at handling tips, roll shots, and off-speed attacks, showing high volleyball IQ with her ability to read hitters and get there early.
January was a strong starting point in Miranda’s season. The improvements shown weren’t situational but they were sustained. As the season moves forward, she’s positioned to build on this momentum and work her way into some college radars.
