Miss Hall carries a dual designation as a setter and outside hitter in the Prep Dig Indiana 2029 rankings, which points to an athlete with the offensive instincts and physical versatility to function in multiple system roles. At 5’9″, she has the height to operate as a setter-right side, a profile college programs have aggressively targeted in recent years because of the blocking dimension it adds on the right side of the net. Our court coaches and scouts will see whether she shows the release point and deception at the top of her sets that a taller setter can generate and whether her decision-making in transition reflects a player who understands the position or one still building that vocabulary. So far what we see from her film online is a player that deserves recognition for her skills.  I am very intrigued to see her in person and see how she competes against everyone else. 

When watching Hall it was apparent she has the tools to be a great setter, but she simply just needs a little more time and reps. She is athletic and hardworking, combined with good setting fundamentals to build off of. One area that I thought she excelled in was defense – she is a young setter who clearly takes pride in her defense and doesn’t just bail on her teammates in order to get to the net and set. Stella is proficient already at setting anywhere along the net, as well as being offensive herself. I believe with more reps on setting out of system balls (especially during live game play), she will continue to improve at a fast rate. Lastly, Hall has the length and jumping ability to be a solid blocker at the net which will give her the chance to set front row and run a 5-1 as she develops. Evansville United really has some great players coming up and this young lady is certainly one of them.
