Top Prospects Take On Club Ignit Select College Elite Camp

Central Iowa is never short on opportunity or talent and this week athletes will be heading to Club Ignit Select to work with college coaches in their College Elite camp.  Camps like this provide exposure for athletes, but also a chance to work with college coaches in a small group.  With most on campus volleyball camps being canceled this summer, opportunities such as these are limited and players are taking advantage of the extra reps and extra coaching!  Here are some athletes to take note in West Des Moines come Thursday at Club Ignit Select.    Claudia AschenbrennerClaudiaAschenbrenner5'10" | MHOsage High School | 2023IA - Osage - CIA  Class of 2023  Osage continues to build and develop top all around athletes and Aschenbrenner is just one of them out of the Class of 2023.  After seeing significant time as a Freshman on their state tournament team, Aschenbrenner is ready for a breakout Sophomore campaign where the Green Devils will be a favorite to get back to Cedar Rapids and this year in a loaded Class 3A field.    Kenzie Dean - Des Moines Roosevelt - Club Ignit Select Class of 2024 Who is this?!?!? Roosevelt was at the Prep Dig Omaha Summer Bash and I was having messages about this outside hitter from Roosevelt who was a major standout with her blocking featuring her shoulders well above the net.  Welcome the next electric player out of Central Iowa.  She will be a fun one to watch to blend in with a talented and experienced Roughrider team that will be looking to turn heads this fall.    Morgan Etscheidt - Clear Creek Amana - Iowa Rockets Class of 2022 Etscheidt is a physical attacker in the front row and will look to lead the Clippers deep into the postseason at Clear Creek-Amana.  She was part of their state basketball team this past winter and these young Clippers are no longer young with Western Illinois recruit Hailey PollockHaileyPollock6'2" | MBClear Creek Amana | 2021StateIA entering her Senior year and top 2022 right side Calia ClubbCaliaClubb5'10" | RSClear Creek-Amana | 2022StateIA being a Junior.  Etscheidt is another outlet to score and block, making positive contributions on her side of the net.    Carly PufferCarlyPuffer5'10" | MBWilton | 2022StateIA - Wilton - Iowa Rockets Class of 2022 I really like the athleticism and physicality of Carly PufferCarlyPuffer5'10" | MBWilton | 2022StateIA.  She can move, jump, and use a blend of power and finesse to score points.  She can play virtually front row position and can easily make adjustments.  She will be a Junior at Wilton this fall joining Ella CafferyEllaCaffery5'9" | SWilton | 2022StateIA and Kelsey DrakeKelseyDrake5'7" | OHWilton | 2022StateIA, two of the top all around athletes in the Class of 2022 and will be looking to get back to the state tournament.    Abby StaunAbbyStaun5'4" | RSDowling | 2022StateIA - Dowling - Club Ignit Select Class of 2022 Staun is a hidden gem in Central Iowa.  A member of the Club Ignit Select squad who took home the Triple Crown title, Staun is a defensive specialist who preps at Dowling Catholic and has demonstrated that she can hold down the backcourt in any spot.  A solid athlete with great quickness, she will be fun to see come into her own the next two years.    Nessa JohnsonNessaJohnsonSGilbert | 2021StateIA - Gilbert - Iowa PowerPlex Class of 2021 Another well rounded athlete, Johnson was part of Gilbert’s state basketball team this past winter while also being a setter/right side for volleyball.  Long, strong, and athletic Johnson can set or swing with her left hand making her ultra dangerous.    Jenna BrownJennaBrownMBDon Bosco | 2021StateIA - Don Bosco - Flight  Class of 2021 Brown is another 2021 prospect who would be a great addition at the next level as an athletic 6’1 who plays primarily out of the middle or could see time on the right side.  She plays high above the net, can connect on a variety of tempos, and is a force offensively and defensively, she has a major upside that will be very welcome at the next level.
