The best part is that they are not overly specialized and extremely well-rounded players. Let’s look at some more amazing setters that run their courts and do it all to set their teams up for victory!
Andi Spies – 2024 – 5’10 – Jefferson
Spies is the future of super athletic setters. She was so fun to watch, and it was really hard to believe she is only a freshman. I still can’t wrap my head around that because if she continues to develop the way she has, she will be a household name for sure. Spies is a high-quality setter with the drive and determination to take her really far. She has a wicked fast swing, as well as great hands to make her a fantastic 6-rotation player.
Jaden Kolinske – 2021 – Lodi
Kolinske gets a lot of defensive touches and can move the ball around from pin to pin. She’s also tall and takes a great lefty swing on the 2nd contact. Kolinske is super athletic while running a 5-1, and she can elevate to save tight passes.
Breelyn Borum Breelyn Borum 6'0" | S Sterling | 2021 State IL – 2021 – 6’0 – Sterling (IL) – Committed to Florida Gulf Coast
I haven’t seen Borum compete outside of Wisconsin, but what I saw at the Champion Center was phenomenal. And what makes it more exciting, she gets to set up phenomenal attackers like her sister, Brooklyn Borum Brooklyn Borum 6'0" | OH Sterling | 2021 State IL (2021 – 6’1 – Outside Hitter – Committed to Virginia), along with Grace Egan (2023 – Outside Hitter). Borum can set her pins to be equally lethal from the back row as well. This fall would have been another outstanding season for Sterling if their weekends with Prep Dig are any indication of what it could have been.
Cadence Maxfield – 2022 – 5’6 – Notre Dame Academy
Maxfield is really athletic and a vocal leader on the court. She is an all-around player with the ability to operate an offense with a high volleyball IQ. Maxfield works hard, taking the 2nd contact from anywhere on the court, and she is super competitive.
Emily Bruss – 2024 – 5’8 – Pulaski
Bruss finds just the right time to pull out her lefty dump. She has really nice hands, gets her feet to the ball quickly, and distributes the ball at a nice tempo. Bruss gets so many touches on defense and really runs the court well. She is a great clutch player for Pulaski and will be a building block for the future.
Jordan Karlen Jordan Karlen 5'9" | S Milton | 2022 State WI – 2022 – 5’7 – Milton
Karlen is so athletic and moves the ball around effortlessly. She is listed as 5’7, but she has either gone through a growth spurt or she is just playing so much bigger than her listed height. Karlen has always been a terrific setter and defender, but her block reach has become impressive. She has really become the real deal total package that should be on every coach’s wish list. Oh, and she is competitive as well as a firecracker. If you want someone to spark energy, she’s your girl!
