Violett is really coming into her own and has stood out with her play over the whole club season. A steady presence in the middle all season, she has stood out with her all around game. Her ability to transition from defense to offense is exceptional, getting off the net quickly and staying available in multiple offensive tempos throughout rallies. She moves well laterally along the net, shows natural timing as a blocker, and already understands how to read attackers and close seams effectively. Her length and explosiveness allow her to impact matches defensively, while her quick transition footwork helps her stay active offensively throughout rallies.

Offensively, she is effective running quick sets in front of the setter, attacking gaps in the block, and finishing with confidence in transition situations. She is fast and gets off the ground quick allowing her to get a ton of 1 on 1 situations as a middle, and with how well she swings and the force behind it.. she wins more of those over other middles in her class. She has the offensive and defensive game to be elite at this level.

This season showed just how high her ceiling can be as she continued to dominate stretches of matches with her physicality, energy, and improving all-around game. She not only produced statistically but also changed the momentum of matches with the way she competed and carried herself on the court.

Violett makes the jump into the rankings and is currently ranked in the top 10 for middles in her class. Watching her play you can see a lot of athletic ability oozing out of Violett with how well she moves for someone her size. She moves well laterally for a young middle (and a tall middle) and shows coordination transitioning from block to attack.

Violett is already a god blocker, and demonstrates solid timing for an underclassman while showing a natural feel for reading setters. Her hands are active and are already penetrating over the net. On offense she shows good approach mechanics and a violent arm swing, with the ability to score off-speed as well rather than just power. She also is smart with her offense and can tip a ball and push a ball deep to a corner when it is open. She doesn’t settle for one thing and will take whatever the defense gives her.

Moving forward, she is someone who is a high-upside middle blocker with the physical profile and skill base to develop into a strong varsity and potential college-level contributor. She will continued getting better with her technical refinement, strength development, and game experience as the year progresses and should make a jump again when the rankings come out.
