2023 Additions to the State Rankings List vol 3

<p>We have added over 20 new players to the 2023 Prep Dig State Rankings from our inaugural list in March. We have not written about these next athletes yet, but we are excited to introduce them with their official number attached to their name.  We will be doing this over the course of the week and we hope that you join us in celebrating these young ladies for all of their hard work.  They went from unranked to bursting onto the scene very quickly. Without further ado…here are three of the newest members of the top ranked athletes in the State of Texas.</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id="87540" first="Lauren" last="Ingram"] [2023] 6-1 Outside (HS: Hockaday/Club: Dallas Skyline/ Verbal: Uncommitted)</strong></p> <p>We would like to officially introduce [player_tooltip player_id="87540" first="Lauren" last="Ingram"] as the 13^thranked prospect in the State of Texas according to our Prep Dig Rankings in the class of 2023.  She is a lengthy pin hitter who scores on both sides of the court at will.  Her ranking on this list has a lot to do with her potential for the future.  She has extremely long arms and a super heavy hand.  As she continues to grow into her body, we see tons of potential to be a good point scorer for any team she plays on.  She has a lot of raw power and transitions well off of the net.  You can’t teach height and she has a lot of it.  We think she has a super high ceiling and can’t wait to see her grow as a player over the next few years.  She plays for a great club program in Dallas Skyline and they will for sure have her college ready in a few years.</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id="87552" first="Karley" last="Black"] [2023] 5-11 Middle/Right Side (HS: Rouse/Club: Austin Performance/Verbal: Uncommitted)</strong></p> <p>We would like to officially welcome [player_tooltip player_id="87552" first="Karley" last="Black"] to the State Rankings by announcing that she is the 30^thtop prospect in the State of Texas.   Rylee plays for a great club program in her Austin Performance club out of the Austin area. She plays for a very good high school program in Rouse who loves to run her behind the setter with a slide approach. This kid has a lot of natural power in her attack and we see her as a solid presence in the middle as a blocker as well.  Her upper body is very strong and it helps her seal the net from her opponents well, not to mention it also give her the ability to win jousts at the net. Overpasses are handled very well by this young lady.  The aspect that I like the most is her ability to read the pass well before the opposing setter gets the set and she sets herself up well to stifle the defense. She is a kid who is always ready to receive the set out of the middle during transition.  Karley is special because of her ability to hit both cut and cut-back out of the quick attack in front of the setter.  We think she is capable of so much more as she grows on the court.  We cannot wait to see what she does this coming season.</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id="99499" first="Genesis" last="Casillas"] [2023] 5-10 Outside (HS: Brandeis/Club: Alamo/ Verbal: Uncommitted)</strong></p> <p>We are excited to officially announce that [player_tooltip player_id="99499" first="Genesis" last="Casillas"] has earned the honor of being the 46^thranked prospect in the State of Texas in the 2023 class according to Prep Dig.  She has a very lengthy frame that is built to play on the pins.  She plays on one of the best club teams in her age group with her Alamo squad.  She never gives up on a play and is always ready to get the set.  She hits the ball with a lot of pop and we know she will gain more power as she continues to grow into her body and gain strength.  She is a true six rotation left side who passes extremely well on serve-receive.  She has a solid natural touch on the ball when passing.  She keeps her arms well away from her body, which allows her to control the soft touch on the pass and easily adjust her angle on the pass to the setter.  She is able to hit both line and angle from the left side of the court, which keeps her offensive efficiency pretty high.  Alamo occasionally uses her on the right side and it is this kind of adaptability on the court that will keep her on college radars in the future.  We can’t wait to see what she does this coming high school season at Brandeis. </p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>There are many more amazing 2023 players that we have added to the State Rankings.  Stay tuned for more articles on your favorite athletes. If you have anyone you think we should watch out for, please shoot me an email with some info at nov8vb@yahoo.com.  Also don’t forget to help these kids get more exposure by sharing our stories with your friends.  Help us help them by simply retweeting on Twitter or sharing on Facebook.  Thanks for following Texas Family!</p>
