When evaluating setters, Molly is a great example of what college coaches are looking for. Already committed to Duke, Miller combines size, athleticism, and one of the highest volleyball IQs you’ll find in the state. Miller has recorded 868 assists this season, averaging 10 per set, while competing in Arkansas’ highest classification against some of the toughest competition in the state.

But it’s more than just her assist totals that make her a college prospect. Miller is a classic 5-1 setter who understands how to run an offense. She’s not just a distributor. Miller is capable of attacking from the right side, giving opposing defenses another offensive threat to account for.She reads the defense, recognizes matchups, and knows when and where to distribute the ball. Her size and athleticism also give her an advantage that many setters don’t have. I have seen her make sets from her knees, over her shoulder and diving.

What I like most about Miller is her understanding of the game. She doesn’t simply put the ball up for her hitters. She understands how to create opportunities for them.

Miller is a good example of why assists alone don’t tell the whole story when evaluating setters. Her size, athleticism, decision-making, and ability to contribute offensively are what make her such an great college prospect.
