Recruiting Commitment Updates Vol 24

The offers for our wonderful Texas players keep coming. We love to see the pictures and news of these players as they are achieving their dreams. We are proud to announce some news from the recruiting front. There are three more players who have just committed to college volleyball programs recently and we would like to share the news. These young ladies have been hard at work during the high school volleyball season and have been also hard at work on the recruiting scene getting offers from schools and have made their decisions. Help us in congratulating them on the amazing news.   Jasmine Okorafor [2021] 5-9 Middle (HS: Elkins/Club: Houston Juniors/Verbal: Fort Scott Community College) Jasmine is currently unrankedin the 2022 Class. She is a great player for Elkins High School and also for Houston Juniors. We are very pleased to announce that she recently chose to play volleyball and attend Fort Scott Community College. They will enjoy her athleticism and high volleyball IQ. She is extremely quick off of the ground and hits a heavy ball. She is able to find multiple ways to score against any defense. Miss Okorafor will be a stud for their program the moment she steps foot on their court. Please congratulate her on her great accomplishment of playing at the next level.     [player_tooltip player_id="119917" first="Kenna" last="Miller"] [2022] 6-0 Outside (HS: Northwest/Club: Muscle/ Verbal: University of Texas)<img class="size-medium wp-image-149870 alignleft" src="https://prephoops-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com/pd/uploads/2021/07/IMG_1167-crop-1125x739-1627062110-300x197.png" alt="" width="300" height="197" /> [player_tooltip player_id="119917" first="Kenna" last="Miller"] has made some serious waves in the 2022 Prep Dig State Rankings again. We currently have her listed as the 34th top overall prospect and the 12th best outside based on her awesome stats this past year. We have written about her a few times this past year and here is a little of what we said, “This North Texas outside is a true six rotation outside who has the size and power to play at the next level. Her offensive skill-set is already next level as she is able to score from every position on the court both front row and back row with power and finesse. A true six rotation outside hitter should be one who has excellent ball control in serving, serve receive passing, and in digging while in the back row. Miss Miller is blessed to have it all. She is a fantastic player for both her high school and club teams. There is nothing this young lady can’t do on a court. Her jump serve keeps teams off-balance and she provides so much leadership for her school team also. Nothing seems to phase her while she is on the court. Her defensive skills are something that truly stands out. Most six footers have a hard time getting low or are not fast enough to dig hard driven balls. Not Miss Miller. She is the real deal and will be moving up our rankings very quickly as we watch her more closely. Keep your eye on this young lady as she continues to grow as a player. College coaches please take her name down as she can help a lot of programs in a few years. Kenna broke a school record with 34 kills and 23 digs in a five set win this season and that is something we have come to expect with her play. She is a phenom and we are going to follow her career very closely. We also believe that she has every tool to keep climbing up the rankings. Looks like our prediction came to fruition as she made one of the largest jumps in the rankings. She only got better during her junior season at Northwest. Take a look at these stats: 317 kills, on a .312 hitting percentage from the left side pin, 24 aces, 35 blocks, 129 digs, and 176 service receptions. Last year was a breakout year for the stud six rotation left side and I can guarantee some records are going to be broken next season during her senior year.” We are very happy to report that she has just recently verbally committed to the University of Texas. Coach Elliott is getting one of the best outside hitters in the state. Seeing her in video is awesome but seeing this young lady in person is even better. The athleticism that she possesses is phenomenal and she has every shot you would want an outside attacker. The best part about this young lady is her personality. I enjoyed our conversation immensely about her and her teammates. She is extremely mature and is ready for the biggest stage one can be at in the next level. Stay tuned to see where she moves in our next ranking update.     [player_tooltip player_id="140417" first="Jessica" last="Dunn"] (2022) 6-1 Setter (HS: Carroll/Club: Dallas Skyline/Verbal: West Virginia) <a href="https://prephoops-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com/pd/uploads/2021/07/IMG_1202-crop-1125x739-1627061994.png"><img class="size-medium wp-image-149868 alignright" src="https://prephoops-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com/pd/uploads/2021/07/IMG_1202-crop-1125x739-1627061994-300x197.png" alt="" width="300" height="197" /></a> Jessica went from unranked last year to us having her listed as the 45th best overall prospect and the 8th best setter in the state according to our Prep Dig State Rankings. We highlighted her last month during our Rankings update and here is a little refresher about what we wrote, “She plays at Carroll Senior HS and also club for Excel out of the North Texas Region. We are very happy to have her on such a prestigious list now and she has every tool to continue to move up the rankings. We were introduced to her a few months ago and we have been following her and her Excel teammates since then while they have qualified for USA Junior Nationals in the Open division. Many schools will know her name and see what we see, which is someone who can play at the division one level right now if she wanted to. She keeps a great posture throughout each ball she dishes out. Miss Dunn has every tool in her toolbox when it comes to delivery. She can set all tempos and locations consistently. We see tons of potential in this young lady and her ceiling is high to become a great setter for college. Grab your popcorn and get ready to watch her distribute the ball to all of her amazing teammates at Nationals.” We are proud to announce that she recently verbally committed to the University of West Virginia. We were able to watch her a few times during USA Nationals in Vegas and she is someone who will do extremely well for West Virginia from what we saw in person. She is smooth with the release of the ball and she distributes the ball well to all of her teammates. Her frame fits extremely well into the college game and we will be following her senior season close as she gets ready to dominate at the next level. She will also be part of a STACKED Dallas Skyline 18 Royal team as they just had tryouts and she made the team. We are excited to cover them during the next club season.     There are many more amazing players that are getting offers. Stay tuned for more articles on your favorite athletes to see where they end up. If you have anyone you think we should watch out for, please shoot me an email with some info at nov8vb@yahoo.com.
