That Paramount Jaz team from last year was absolutely insane. So whoever was setting for them has to be a good player right? Yep. Penelope was another one that just missed out on Top Performer for me, she was on the list, it just had to get paired down and the setters lost out unfortunately. I love me some shorter 6-2 system setters, everyone knows that. Big fan of the defense and the 3 net options the 6-2 gives you, even though I know I’m in the minority there. I know I’ve mentioned it before but I’m pretty sure the shift is going to be setter/libero hybrids going forward where either can take first or second ball and make it harder for teams to target on serve receive. Penelope could be in that model. She showed good agility and range moving around and getting her feet squared and under her on balls. She had clean, accurate hands and delivered some of the better sets when working with the hitters. I saw a little bit of defense from her later in the day and she made some good passes and handled serve receive well when she had a chance. I think she’s going to carry the torch for sub 5’5 setters in the DMV area going forward and be an ideal pick for a team looking for a 6-2 setter.
