Holiday Weekend Coverage From Capt. Conan

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>During my Memorial Day Weekend which included grilling some meat, watching major league baseball and rewatching a couple of my favorite war movies, Capt. Conan managed to add five athletes to his Coverage Club.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>This group of five includes ranked members of three different classes and each as been mentioned just once or less in the past six months.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>The captain hopes everyone had a safe and enjoyable holiday weekend.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='398378' first='Logan' last='Parks']</strong>, 5'10”, SF, Blue Valley North, ‘25</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Parks is ranked No. 26 by Prep Girls Hoops in the class of 2025 recently announced her verbal commitment to play volleyball at Stanford University. She is the No. 1 ranked played by Prep Dig Kansas. She is a physical athlete who can play setter and outside hitter. She had a special presence in the paint as a forward, but college coaches can strike her off their recruiting lists as she will play Division I volleyball after graduation.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='539009' first='Prayer' last='Roebuck']</strong>, 5'10”, OH, Olathe West, ‘25</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Roebuck is a two-sport prospect who has not gotten a ton of attention on PGH. She is currently ranked No. 29 overall in the Kansas Class of 2025. She is also ranked No. 36 by Prep Dig Kansas. She plays both club sports as she is a member of Shockwave Volleyball Academy and plays round ball for 365 Hoops. She is solid athlete and just a great young lady. I have seen her more on the volleyball court than on the hardwood, but her athleticism and physicality make her a college prospect in both sports. It will be interesting to see which sport she gets the majority of offers in, but if I was a JUCO coach, especially one in Southeast Kansas, I would follow Roebuck closely.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='544025' first='Brenna' last='Rucker']</strong>, 5'9”, SG, Eureka, ‘26</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>I used to drive through Eureka on my way to Parsons when I was a youngster. It's a town I might need to get to this fall to see two-sport prospect Rucker. She is currently ranked No. 13 overall by PGH and No. 85 by Prep Dig among her class of 2026 peers. She does not have any public stats online. Rucker plays club basketball with the Missouri Phenom.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='773209' first='Kaitlyn' last='Folsom']</strong>, 5'11”, C, Maur Hill Prep, ‘26</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Folsom is a currently ranked No. 46 overall by Prep Girls Hoops. She is another multi-sport athlete who has not gotten much exposure. She finished with 89 kills and 33 blocks on the volleyball court for the Ravens. As a freshman she averaged 5-plus points and rebounds for the Maur Hill basketball squad. She has a big reach which she can use to create defensive blocks in both sports.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='884870' first='Payton' last='Converse']</strong>, 5'10”, PF, Andover Central, ‘27</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Converse appeared in 14 varsity games as a freshman for the Andover Central Jaguars. She is currently ranked No. 25 in the Kansas Class of 2027. She grabbed 2.6 rebounds per contest last season at the varsity level. She was selective in shooting in varsity games converting 8-of-15 field goal attempts. She has an awesome last name for this NIL world we are living in, so she has that going for her. She will be a youngster to keep track of the next three years.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
