Lets Play "Name That Uncommitted 2022 Prospect"

The Class of 2022 has been on a rollercoaster when it comes to recruiting. From recruiting rule changes, a pandemic, recruiting online, college athletes with an additional year of eligibility, there have been more question marks for this class than anything. There are still plenty available heading into the start of the 2021-2022 school year and there are still plenty of college programs who will be looking for 2022s as well (for some, they will know more after their college season). Here is a little game we're going to play with uncommitted Class of 2022's from Iowa and Wisconsin. Answers Down Below A. This athlete jumped onto the scene as a sophomore outside hitter at the state tournament in 2019. She's a big time leaper and uber athletic where she can score points in bunches. Her high school squad will be one of the top in Iowa's Class 4A this season where they were a runner-up in 2019 and in the final four in 2020. She was a Class 4A All State member where she has a few other teammates who are from the Class of 2022 and are uncommitted and would be a huge pickup at the next level. This athlete was a member of Iowa Rockets 17R this past club season. Who is this prospect?   B. One of the top liberos in the Class of 2022 in Wisconsin. She's won an alternate state title this past spring and always has a bright pair of shoes on. Super gritty where she can anticipate a tip versus a hard driven ball and is extremely consistent in serve receive. This fall, her high school squad will not only be a favorite in Division 1 in Wisconsin, but will be among of the top teams in the Midwest with multiple Division 1 college commits and prospects. Who is this prospect?   C. A really solid multi-sport athlete who has played in the state volleyball and basketball tournament. She had a breakout 2020 season, helping lead her high school team to a Class 2A runner-up finish. Her setter, [player_tooltip player_id="132847" first="Reese" last="Johnson"], has teamed up with her on her high school teams and club teams where the two will look to make another run to the Iowa State Tournament this fall. A strong athlete, she would be a solid pick up at the next level and will be playing the 2022 club season for Six Pack. Who is this prospect?   D. This athlete has continued to rise in the rankings each season, playing at a high level for her club and also has experience at the state tournament level as a six rotation outside. A solid primary passer and a high IQ for where to score points, This Milwaukee area prospect is someone who can contribute by scoring points in the front and backrow. She style of play will transition nicely to the next level with her all around skill and athleticism. Who is this prospect?   E. There is a common pattern among Iowa athletes where if they excel in one sport, chances are they are going to contribute in another. This athlete runs the show on the volleyball court as a setter, but can also swing on the right side. She had nearly 20 wins as a pitcher on the high school softball season, thriving in the big stage. At the next level, she is an offensive threat at the net where she can attack as a setter as well as defend her position in the front and backrow. Who is this prospect?   F. Silky smooth, this setter just glides on the court and makes really difficult plays look easy. With textbook footwork and a fast release, she can hit all the tempos. She was a key player for Wisconsin Premier 17 Teal where this squad has plenty of 2022 prospects who would be a huge pickup at the next level. Her high school squad, Slinger, just North of the Milwaukee area has the potential to sneak up on a lot of teams this season. Who is this prospect?   G. Her high school team will be in contention for a state title in Iowa's largest class. She has experience playing in the state tournament and club out of the Quad Cities area. A DS/L with a quiet platform, quick footwork, and efficient all around movement, she provides a solid first contact for [player_tooltip player_id="17325" first="Kora" last="Ruff"], one of the top setters in the state. Another teammate who would be a solid 2022 pickup is outside hitter, [player_tooltip player_id="132854" first="Arra" last="Cottrell"]. Who is this prospect?   H. Another libero who is extremely quick, moves like a water beetle on the court. She provides a major spark for whatever team she is playing on. We were able to watch her live as her Holmen High School team out of the La Crosse area took home a division title at the Prep Dig Sizzle. She was also a key piece to the V-Hawk 17 Adidas squad out of La Crosse in the 2021 club season. Who is this prospect?   I. We're going to stay on the libero track and this is another all-around athlete from Eastern Iowa where she has played in state volleyball and softball tournaments. She's even gone viral with a diving defensive play playing third base. In the 2020 high school season, she was a key piece to her team's runner-up finish where they upset one team after another. A little under the radar, but a major pickup at the next level, she is an electric player to have on your side of the court. Who is this prospect?   J. Her club team had a huge 2021 season with tournament wins as well as strong finishes, playing among the region's top teams. Solid in serve receive, knows how to pick up a tip, and keep her side of the net in system, she was extremely key for [program_tooltip program_id='431928' first='Revolution' last='Volleyball Academy'] 17 Navy out of the Waukesha area. She preps out of Wauwatosa West in the Milwaukee area and can handle a large bulk of all touches for her team. Who is this prospect?   K. A left-handed weapon where she can swing from the right side or step in and set, this athlete will be extremely key for her high school squad who will look to make a run to the state tournament and be one of the top teams in the Fox Valley. Her swing looks natural and its a heavy ball, making it tough for the other side to keep in system. She has the IQ to find the open spot on the court or use the block to her advantage. She is quietly effective and even has a sister coming through the ranks who will be fun to watch as well. Who is this prospect?   A.
