Continue ReadingAt this weekends HB See You Combine and Exposure Camp in Chicago, we saw some talent that we have never seen before at other events. The camp kicked off their first annual combine to allow for athletes to get coached, taught and possibly recruited by some of the country’s top HBCU volleyball programs.
I was able to watch and observe some of the talent that was at this combine this weekend and came across four uncommitted class of 2021 athletes who are looking for a home on someone’s roster. Their talent and skills were very impressive and question why they don’t have a home just yet.
Ja’Nya Wilkes- 360 Sports Academy/Kenwood Academy
Wilkes is just an out of this world player that is without a doubt a player who never fails to impress. Wilkes stands at 6’0″ and is a very eager OH. Wilkes is powerful and when it comes to her defending, she moves along the net well and pops up right on point. Wilkes displays a very strong and willing character on the court, that reflects in her skills and foundation. She has a solid foundation and set fundamentals. Wilkes is an athlete that deserves to be on someones roster this upcoming season.
Devri Ray- Team Keba/Lindblom High School
Ray is another athlete that you can’t miss when it comes to watching her perform in her skills and drills she is very focused and steady when it comes to her moving across the court with the flow of the ball. The middle blocker is a very well structured defensive player and pairs well with her teammates when it comes to communicating with one another and working as a team to keep the ball from being scored. The standout thing about Ray is her demeanor. She has a very impressive attitude on the court and it reflects on her performance on the court.
Itali Jackson– 360 Sports Academy/Lindblom High School
Jackson is an athlete that will not let you down and will catch your eye while she is in motion. Jackson is one of those athletes that has the entire package. She has the character, the physical and the mental components that make her an outstanding athlete. The OH is a very powerful player and she is very consistent with her swings and is a very defensive player. Jackson is attentive and keeps her eyes on the ball at all times, and shows great effort and leadership when it comes to grtting the ball if her teammates are unable to. Jackson is a tough and impressive player to watch and an athlete that is willing to step out of her comfort zone to get the job done.
Naturi Parker- 360 Sports Academy/Kenwood Academy
Parker is another athlete that you can not overlook when it comes to watching her in action. Parker is an athlete that keeps her head up and fights through every challenge that she is thrown when on the court. She moves quick with the ball and is the true definition of a hustler on the court. Parker is a very strong and skilled player, and communicates well with her team. The standout characteristic with Parker is her ability to work and adjust with new players and with different skillsets, as she was paired with athletes she was unaware of and was able to work very well with them. She is determined, has a solid foundation and strong fundamentals and is going to be an athlete to consider for next seasons rosters.
