Wucherer is the best player I’ve seen in this class. Very clearly proving she was the best one on the top team at USA this summer, putting on a clinic against Chile in a 5 set final. Very low error player as well.
To those who want to see some of the HP Championships matches, they can be found below. Opposing teams clearly targeted Wucherer and she was high quality (Save for a few miscommunications) on first contact. She also had a nice array of shots. Kubik wasn't really a factor in these matches. And I'll be the first to say that NOT playing much surely isn't reason to believe she wouldn't have a higher senior aces ceiling, just that there were players producing better than she was during this time, clearly Wucherer, Rubin and Trump.
v. Youth A1 Red (the opposing side featured a ton of top 2022 recruits too like Middleton, Hope, Faumuina (they just were worse on first contact)...If Essix ever learns to really play volleyball WATCH OUT WORLD! She looked lost out there all match but you can't teach that height...look where she touches that ball at 14:50)
(look at that swing at 3:40 )
Semi's v. Junior A1 (some quality 2020's playing on this roster, including the much hyped Sophie Fischer (#12))
Championships
Roster for the entire team:
1 Hayden Kubik
2 Taylor Preston
3 Rebekah Allick
4 Lauren Carter
5 Elia Rubin
6 Alexis Stucky
8 Brianna Anderson
9 Laney Choboy
10 Karissa Kaminski
11 Lucy Trump
12 McKenna Wucherer
13 Kendal Kemp
Also some notes. I think Allick is going to be very good....soooo quick. The player that also stood out was how solid Stucky was for a taller setter. I remember commenting on that in the summer. I'd watch out for that one.
After watching this, I think I would take Rubin over both of them. But for me, the most impressive kid on the court was Choboy. She is a really good libero: Quick, great touch, directs traffic. Impressive.
