Continue ReadingPrep Dig’s #10 class of 2021 prospect, Lauren Crowl Lauren Crowl 6'4" | RS Eastview | 2021 State MN , recently announced her commitment to play for Big 10 and national power Minnesota. At 6’4 and left handed, Crowl is an impact player on the right side. Her attack touch is near 10′ and she has good point scoring potential overhead. Where she can really impact the game is with her blocking. She has good patience and eyework and identifies the relationship between the ball and the opposing attacker well. She will finish up her prep career at Eastview this fall in what should be a competitive season for the Lightning with a good corps of athletes set to return in 2020. Crowl joins Skylar Gray Skylar Gray 5'10" | OH Maple Grove | 2021 State MN (MN Select | Maple Grove, MN) and Anna Wolf (MN Select | River Falls, WI) as two other Minnesota club athletes in the class of 2021 to commit to the Gophers.
Other notable commitments from the class of 2021 over the past several weeks include:
Syliva Koenig – 6’1 | MH | HS: Northfield | Commitment: Miami (OH)
Koenig is athletic and physical and has increased her contributions on both sides of the ball. She could be the x-factor for Northfield as the complementary middle production to the great pin action they return this fall.

– 6’3 | MH | HS: Chisago Lakes | Commitment: MN Duluth
Paulsen has good upside to her game. She is long and can get up and over the net well when blocking. With increased attention to her transition and approach footwork she will become more effective offensively.

– 5’11 | S | HS:
Lakeville South
| Commitment: Concordia St. Paul
Starkey has good size as a setter and brings good competitive experience to the court. In competing for a very good
Lakeville South
program and for the top 17s team with MN Select, she has continued to grow her ability to distribute a balanced offense.
Hanna Thompson

– 5’11 | MH | HS: Chaska | Commitment: Northern State
Thompson is a productive middle offensively. She has good footwork, spacing and timing to allow her to swing through a variety of options. She can move the ball around well in front of the setter and looks very comfortable overhead on the slide.
Rachel Wieber

Northfield | 2021
State
MN
– 6’0 | OH | HS: Northfield | Commitment: Southern Utah
Wieber will be a key element to the Northfield offense in 2020 as she has very good six-rotation skills. Her platform work is steady in serve receive and her defensive pursuit. She has increased her effectiveness as a pin attacker as well in developing a good combination of tools with her arm.
