Under The Radar Players (Part 2)
Madi Moore, OH, A4 Volley 17 Joaco – Moore is another six-rotation player with a strong arm. She hits solid ball and can move it around to different spots as well.
Payton Tully, RS, A4 Volley 17 Joaco – At 6-0 and a lefty, Tully is continually improving. She puts up a solid block. When she gets a hold of one you can tell as she’s also becoming more of a terminator.
Paige Buzzerio, OH, A4 Volley 17 Joaco – A 6-2 Navy commit, Buzzerio’s length presents problems for blockers. She can extend well and sees the court well. That allows her to strike equally well cross court or deep down the line.
Holly Hopkins, OH, Balboa Bay 17 Blue – Hopkins, at 6-0, showed flashes of what she can bring. She has a good arm and is getting better at becoming a finisher.
Anabel Kotzakov, OH, Balboa Bay 17 Blue – A six-rotation player, Kotzakov is 6-2 and a reliable option on the attack. She has a nice arm and is consistently aggressive with her swings.
Kahea Carvalho, S, Seal Beach 17 Black – A bit undersized at 5-9, Carvalho makes up for it with good hands and consistent location. She’s a hard worker with a calming presence who knows how to run an offense.
Addison Klunder, RS, Actyve 17 Black – Somewhat undersized at 5-10, Klunder was taking some aggressive swings. She has a solid arm and wasn’t afraid to go at bigger blocks.
Milani Lee, S/RS, Legacy Girls 17 Pyramid – Lee is part of a 6-2 system. She’s consistently on point with her location and can run tempo sets at times too. At 5-11, she’s not the tallest attacker but doesn’t overdo it and plays within herself.
Aubry Beaver, OH, Temecula Viper 17 Poyer – A 6-0 Cal State Fullerton recruit, Beaver is a key component in the Viper lineup. She’s a six-rotation outside with the ability to score from the back row and showed to be a steady passer out of serve receive.
Ashley Li, OH, Tstreet 17 Asics – We only saw Li once at the very beginning of the season. She’s a four-star recruit committed to Cal. At 6-3, she’s lanky with a very good arm that has her delivering pace on her swings.
Hayden Lin, S, SCVC 16 Roxy – At 5-5, Lin is an undersized setter but she runs the offense well. She has soft hands and a great touch and rarely misses her spot.
Kendall Beshear, OH, SCVC 16 Roxy – Beshear, at 5-10, is a really good all-around outside. She’s a smart attacker with a big arm. She passes and defends very well in the back row and is a glue piece for SCVC.
Chloe Hynes, MB, SCVC 16 Roxy – Hynes has upside to her game. She’s a 6-0 middle but can play on the pins as well. Her swing is smooth and she can play some in the back row as well.
Taylor Deckert, L, SCVC 16 Roxy – A freshman playing up, the more there is to see of Deckert the more there is to like. She doesn’t appear to get rattled and is a steady, reliable defender and passer.
Sade Ilawole, S, Mizuno Long Beach 16 Rockstar – Ilawole allows Beach to run a 6-2 if it wants, depending on the match ups. She’s quick with steady placement.
Katrina Catalan, RS, Temecula Viper 16 Mauro – At 5-8, Catalan is undersized on the right. Still, she is strong with a powerful swing. She’s aggressive and doesn’t back down from bigger blockers.
Molly McCluskey, RS, Tstreet 16 Carson – A three-star recruit, this 6-3 lefty right side has lots of potential. She touches 9-11 and can already go over blocks. She has a good swing and will add more and more power as she continues to develop.
Lauren Coady, MB, Tstreet 16 Carson – A 6-2 freshman playing up, Coady is another one with lots of upside. She has a nice swing and connected on a few balls well. She’s going to be a great option as she keeps learning and growing.
Ella Irwin, OH, Tstreet 16 Carson – A six-rotation outside, at 5-11 Irwin was showing what she brings to the court. She has a quick swing that generates good pace. She can also attack out of the back row to help open up the offense.
Manaia Ogbechie, MB, Oaks 15 Gold – Ogbechie is a prospect. She’s 6-1 and already touching 10-0. She hits with power. She has the skill set to potentially move to the pin.
Sarah Shaw, MB, Oaks 15 Gold – Shaw, at 6-1, is another with tremendous upside. She carries a smooth swing and has the ability to play in the back row as well. She too could be a future pin.
Kelsey Kim, OH, SG Elite 15 Rosh – An undersized outside at 5-9, Kim plays a pivotal role. She takes a lot of swings. Though undersized, she’s aggressive and goes after it hard. She’s capable of delivering some strong kills.
Audrey Nuckols, MB, SG Elite 15 Rosh – Nuckols, at 6-1, gives SG some much-needed size. She’ll line up on the left and hit from there. She’s also an option in the middle as SG looks to feed her the ball.
Olivia Durr, MB, Wave 15 Scott – Durr was difficult to stop. She gets up well and hits with good extension. That allowed her to bounce more than few balls down at 12 feet.
Hannah Demiter, RS, Wave 15 Scott – Demiter was another who was helping open up the attack. At 5-11, Demiter was showing solid scoring skills and was taking aggressive cuts in challenging the defense.
Britani Stone, L, Vegas Aces 15 UA – Stone proved to be a bright spot for Vegas Aces. She was remarkably consistent out of serve receive, rarely missing her mark and getting Vegas Aces in system.
