2022 Additions to the State Rankings List Vol 5

<p>We are all over Texas in this volume of the series as we explore a few players we haven’t written about yet on our State Rankings List.  These Dallas and Houston area athletes have waited long enough to enjoy some recognition for being such great volleyball players.  We couldn’t be happier to give them kudos for their hard work as we announce their placement on the Prep Dig State Rankings List. </p> <p><strong> </strong><strong> </strong></p> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id="99518" first="Kayla" last="Wilson"] [2022] 5-10 Outside (HS: Shadow Creek/Club: Absolute Volleyball Academy/Verbal: Uncommitted)</strong></p> <p>Please welcome the 75^thranked prospect [player_tooltip player_id="99518" first="Kayla" last="Wilson"] to the Prep Dig State Rankings list. This young lady can fly.  She has an outstanding vertical which allows her to get on top of the ball well and rip into her opponents.  She is blessed with quick twitch muscles that help her get off of the ground extremely fast.  She is very fun to watch hitting on either pin.  Kayla is capable of attacking well on both sides.  I love how her teams in the past have used her on quick sets also. She is a gifted scorer who will give any team she is on an added lift of explosiveness.  Her jumping ability also gives her the bonus of being a shut down blocker.  She is able to press and seal the net so well and doesn’t have any issues with timing her block.  We love her because of her ability to be well rounded and play defense in the back row. She is a six rotation outside hitter who deserves to be looked at by college programs.  Stay tuned to see her progress over the next few years. </p> <p><strong> </strong></p> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id="87509" first="Emma" last="Vu"] [2022] 5-5 Setter (HS: Allen/Club: Dallas Premier/Verbal: Uncommitted)</strong></p> <p>We are very thrilled to introduce you to [player_tooltip player_id="87509" first="Emma" last="Vu"] who is ranked as the 76^thbest high school prospect in the 2022 class in the State of Texas.  Miss Vu is a solid setter out of the North Texas area.  Emma is a smaller setter by height but that doesn’t stop her from playing in the front row and still being able to get her hands well above the net to block.  She is a feisty competitor who isn’t afraid of a challenge.  The ball comes off very clean and smooth from her hands despite the tempo or location of the set.  She is a very experienced setter who can set all locations with extreme accuracy.  Emma has a solid jump float serve that stifles opponents.  I love her athleticism on the defensive side of the ball. I am excited to have her on the rankings and look forward to watching this year.    </p> <p><strong> </strong></p> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id="99525" first="Jackie" last="Velzis"] [2022] 6-1 Middle/Right Side (HS: Cypress Woods/Club: TAV Houston/Verbal: Uncommitted)</strong></p> <p>Jackie comes in ranked as the 87^thranked player in the great state of Texas according to our rankings.  This north Houston prospect is a solid stopper on the middle of right side.  She plays for a great TAV Houston club led by Joe Lind. She is able to seal the net extremely well when it comes to blocking.  I love how athletic and quick she is running her routes in the middle. She is able to run the slide so fast which will help any college program offensively.  She has a cannon for an arm.  We really like her because of her versatility.  She can play multiple positions on the court and play them well.  She is able to serve and be a threat in the back row also.  Her offensive versatility is on full display as she hits out of the middle and the right side pin.  The ability to change tempos and be accurate on timing are a testament to how athletic she truly is.  Give this young lady a look as she can help out a program with a “slash” player.  That is what I call a player who can play multiple positions. </p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>There are many more amazing 2022 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>
