10 Outstanding & Uncommitted 2024 Prospects

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Colleges are still picking up 2023 prospects to fill out a few roster spots before the season starts this fall, 2025 players have just started verbally committing after the June 15th contact date, and 2024 prospects are somewhere in between. A truth in recruiting is players are needed at every level into the summer of each class's senior season. If a player wants to find a spot, it's out there as long as the athlete understands their ability level and is willing to give a visit to a school they may not be familiar with. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>The Divisions can be deceiving, is a top-level D-2 program like Western or Central Washington a better place to play than a 250+ RPI-rated Division 1? You certainly could find yourself playing in front of more fans, with comparable facilities and a chance to make it to the postseason at those GNAC schools, no guarantee at a lower-ranked Division 1 program. High-ranked JC programs will put a hurt on D-3 and NAIA programs in pre-season tournaments every year, it's all about the fit between the athlete, the school, and the volleyball program. 2024 prospects are going to continue to find their spots this summer and fall as they get on to campus and coaches can make a connection- here are ten 2024 athletes that should be a steal for a program next season.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["259675"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"The Dakine outside is an explosive, hard working six-rotation player.
