About Samiyah
Expert Analysis
Anthony Jones | Prep Dig Scout
EASY pick for a standout, not because Samiyah is a legit 6’6 in middle school, but because she was such a dominate middle throughout the whole showcase. Beyond her physical abilities, she displayed excellent court awareness (which is rare in 11-13 year old), communicated well with teammates, and competed with confidence and determination. Most impressively her motor, work ethic, and refusal to take plays off made her one of the most impressive athletes at the showcase. All those traits coaches want that are physical she has already and that is going to make her a dang good volleyball player in the years to come. She has that IT factor coaches look for and really showed it at the showcase.
Skill wise, she was dominate on the block. She does a great job pressing over the net and taking away all angles and space that pins were trying to use to hit around her. Throughout game play she had so many blocks, block touches, and made life extremely difficult for all hitters she went up against. On offense she was also on a another level as she was scoring more times then not when she was set, she didn’t have another girl that could slow her down most times but even when they were there she has the skill and range to take what was open to score points. A dominate force on offense and defense in this showcase, Samiyah really has a bright future in this sport and was a standout from this weekend.
