More 2022 Uncommitted Players Across the State

<p>We are back to turn our attention to the 2022 uncommitted players of the State.  We are coming in fast and furious with our June articles because our ranking update will happen at the end of this month.  A lot of these players have been working hard during the shutdown and can’t wait to get back on the court to showcase their skills. The 2022 class is ready to become and upperclassman and lead their Varsity teams into battle.  I can’t wait to see the fireworks if volleyball is going to be played this coming season.  Regardless, we will continue to cover this very talented class across the state.  Here are a few more athletes that we have not written about yet.  Take note of their names as they are ready for the big stage. </p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p><strong>Kaila Garnett [2022] 5-10 Right Side/Outside (HS: Plano West/Club: Attack/Verbal: Uncommitted)</strong></p> <p>Miss Garnett is currently unranked in the 2022 class according to our Prep Dig State Rankings but that is going to change in a few weeks when I am done updating them.  She has burst onto the scene quickly and has caught my eye.  This powerful lefty is so smooth when she attacks.  She might not be the prototypical height for a right side, but she makes up for that with her vertical.  She can rise up easily and challenges all attacks.  She is blessed with a left arm that is golden.  I talk about power a lot but this one is the real deal.  But the one aspect that makes me keep watching her film is her silky smooth and very deceptive off-speed game.  When you are constantly banging away and then add in a soft roll shot, it is almost unstoppable.  She uses both power and finesse so well against her opponents.  She hits very well for her club team out of serve receive on both pins and scores at will.  If there is a small school looking for a six rotation pin hitter and needs a point scorer, look no further than Miss Garnett.  I look forward to seeing her grow in her game. </p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p><strong>Mallory Garner [2022] 5-11 Outside (HS: Bridgeland/Club: TAV Houston/Verbal: Uncommitted)</strong></p> <p>Mallory is also currently unranked on our list but this will change once I update the rankings.  She has a great frame for a pin hitter and possesses serious pop on a high tempo attack on the left side.  I truly like the way she approaches to the ball and hits as if her life depended on it.  She swings with power and purpose to get the kill for her team.  What allows her to do this is her footwork.  It is very nice to see footwork like this from a tall pin hitter. This tells me that she has been trained very well and she is extremely coachable.  I think she has a very high ceiling and could help out a college program in a few years.  She would be someone for a small school to watch over her junior and senior seasons.  I know that Director Lind will get her ready for the next level really soon.  TAV uses her as a six-rotation player and she is able to dig very well for them in the middle back area.  Someone give her a look or two and you won’t be disappointed-</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id="87508" first="Brianna" last="McDonald"] [2022] 5-8 Outside/Right Side/Defensive Specialist (HS: FB Travis/Club: Texas Tornados/Verbal: Uncommitted)</strong></p> <p>This little lefty is a firecracker of a player.  She has some serious bounce to her game and plays with tons of heart.  She is able to play all the way around on the court and excels in a variety of fashions for her Tornados club out of Houston.  I love covering smaller players because they know they must outwork taller competition.  Brianna is this type of player.  In order for her to compete, she must master the art of timing her attack. This gives her a smaller window to hit into in order to score, but she doesn’t shy away from wanting to attack the ball.  She hits well on both pins and has a great back row game also.  She contacts the ball very high and hits at the peak of her reach very well to get every inch out of her approach touch.  Don’t sleep on this kid just because she isn’t as tall. She will wow you with her ability to press on the block and shut down opposing outsides. </p> <p><strong> </strong></p> <p>Stay tuned to my next highlight article of more 2022 amazing players who are ready for the big stage.  We have many players that we are adding to our raking system daily, so If you know of any good prospects I should know, please send me an email at nov8vb@yahoo.com.</p>
