Continue ReadingThe State Rankings update is here!!! The upward movement of some of the top 175 players is something we are proud of. We have been watching the 2024 class very closely throughout the entire club season. A lot of the analysis has come from watching these players in person and also by watching the amazing footage that has been uploaded to everyone’s recruiting profiles. We have been talking to a lot of coaches across the country and this class is littered with college prospects. The following players showed us all that they deserved to be moved up the rankings due to their individual performances.
Carson Eickenloff Carson Eickenloff 5'7" | S Boyd | 2024 State #146 Nation TX [2024] 5-6 Setter (HS: Boyd/Club: Drive Nation/Verbal: Ole Miss)
Carson has moved up in the rankings again in this update and is now ranked as the 19th best overall prospect and 4th best setter in the 2024 class in the entire state of Texas. She plays at Boyd High School and played this past season at the Drive Nation volleyball club program. I watched her very closely this past club season and she wowed me with every set attempt. Her ability to feed the middles whether in system or out of system is remarkable. I also loved how she evenly distributed the ball to all of her wonderful attackers she had. Just when the defense thought they knew where she was going with the ball, Carson would surprise everyone and go against the flow of the pass. She played amazing defense and was not afraid to battle at the net during front row lineups. Her athleticism is off the charts and she will do wonders for the Ole Miss program when she arrives on campus next year. Please help us congratulate her on earning a top spot in our State Rankings.
Shea Bruntmyer Shea Bruntmyer 5'8" | S Abilene Christian | 2024 State TX [2024] 5-8 Setter (HS: Abilene Christian/Club: Tejas/Verbal: Pepperdine)
Shea made a huge jump in the rankings in this update. She went from being ranked as the 83rd best overall prospect to now being listed as the 40th best overall prospect in the 2024 Class according to our Prep Dig Texas State Rankings. She plays at Abilene Christian High School and also for the Tejas club program. Here is a little from the last article we wrote about her, “I have covered Shea for a while now and I am not sure there is a harder worker in the state than her. She is a very determined young lady and I firmly believe she is going to go far in life…not just volleyball. Her form and technique are flawless and it is because of tons of hard work that went into it. The ball comes out super fast and I love how she runs her middles even during out of system plays. This kind of ball movement is why I know she is going to flourish at the next level. I love everything about the way she carries herself on and off the court. Even though she is committed to Pepperdine University, she still continues to train at every private lesson, clinic, and showcase she can. This will tell all of our readers exactly the type of person she is and why we have fallen in love with covering her. I strongly encourage any young player to follow her on social media and emulate what she is about.” I love when hard work gets rewarded and this young lady has definitely earned this. Please help us congratulate her on moving up the rankings due to her body of work that she is putting in.
MJ McCurdy MJ McCurdy 6'0" | OH Frisco Liberty | 2024 State TX [2024] 6-0 Outside (HS: Liberty/Club: Madfrog /Verbal: Texas State)
Mary Jane has moved up in this update of the rankings. She went from being ranked as the 64th best overall prospect to now the 41st best overall prospect in the state according to the 2024 Prep Dig Texas State Rankings. She plays for Liberty High School and plays club for the famed Madfrog volleyball program. I wrote an article on her a while back and here is a refresher of what I stated, “There are outside hitters and then there are true point scorers. MJ can rack up kills in a hurry and hits the ball at a very high clip, meaning she is super efficient with her scoring. When I first came across this name that was rising up the kill charts a few years ago, it surprised me because I had not heard about her until that point. I learned who she was very quickly. While some players may shy away from the big moment at crucial times, MJ relishes in those moments for any team she is on. The bright lights are on and this kid is on the main stage doing her thing at a very high level.” MJ is a star and she finally found her home for the next four years. She is going to be what we like to call an immediate impact player at the next level. We are proud to announce that she has committed to playing volleyball at Texas State University.” Due to her entire body of work that I watched in a couple of national events this year, it was a no brainer to move her up in the rankings. Please help us congratulate her on the honor of moving up over twenty spots.
