Class of 2024 State Rankings Stock Risers Vol 1

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>The State Rankings update is here!!! The upward movement of some of the top 175 players is something we are proud of.&nbsp; We have been watching the 2024 class very closely throughout the entire club season. &nbsp;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.&nbsp; We have been talking to a lot of coaches across the country and this class is littered with college prospects.&nbsp; The following players showed us all that they deserved to be moved up the rankings due to their individual performances.&nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='155117' first='Ayden' last='Ames']&nbsp;[2024] 6-3 Middle/Outside (HS: Prosper/Club:&nbsp;Drive Nation&nbsp;/Verbal: Nebraska)</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Ayden has now moved up in the rankings and is now ranked as the top overall prospect in the 2024 class in the entire state of Texas and the 2^nd best overall prospect in the nation according to our national rankings.&nbsp; She plays at Prosper High School and also at the Drive Nation&nbsp;volleyball club program.&nbsp; We have covered her quite extensively over the last few years since she came over to this wonderful state from California.&nbsp; Miss Ames is the real deal and has just helped lead the U19 USA National team to a Gold Medal at the FIVB World Championships.&nbsp; After watching her club team dominate all year long, it was a no brainer that she should move up even further in our rankings.&nbsp; Over the last year she has added so much to her overall game in high school and learned even more under the tutelage of coach Ping in the middle.&nbsp; We have one more year to cover her growth until she arrives on campus at Nebraska and joins the top recruiting class in the country.&nbsp; Please help us congratulate her on earning the top spot in our State Rankings.&nbsp;&nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='124153' first='Jaela' last='Auguste']&nbsp;[2024] 6-0 Middle (HS: Grand Oaks/Club: Houston Skyline/Verbal: Florida)</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Jaela has made one of the biggest jumps in the rankings in this update.&nbsp; She went from being listed as the 35^th&nbsp;best overall prospect to now being listed as the 10^th best overall prospect in the 2024 Class according to our Prep Dig Texas State Rankings.&nbsp; She is also ranked as the 25^th best overall player in our National Rankings. &nbsp;She plays high school volleyball at Grand Oaks High School and also plays for Houston Skyline.&nbsp;&nbsp;Miss Auguste is currently committed to playing college volleyball for the University of Florida next year.&nbsp; When you watch her play, you can easily see why she was recruited so heavily by many top college programs.&nbsp; Her vertical is unreal and she covers so much space both laterally and above the net.&nbsp; I have watched Jaela get better and better each year under some great high school and club coaching.&nbsp; This tells me that she is not done growing in the position and we are only seeing the tip of the iceberg.&nbsp; She also just helped lead the U19 USA National team to a Gold Medal at the FIVB World Championships this past week.&nbsp; Please help us congratulate her on moving into the top ten of our prestigious State Rankings.&nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='201034' first='Reese' last='Animashaun']&nbsp;[2024] 5-10 Outside/Right Side/Setter (HS: St. Johns/Club: Houston Skyline/Verbal: Vanderbilt University)</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Reese has also made a huge jump in the rankings.&nbsp; She went from being ranked as the 50^th&nbsp;best overall prospect to now being listed as the 18^th best overall prospect in the state according to the 2024 Prep Dig Texas State Rankings.&nbsp; She plays for St. John's High School and plays club for the nationally recognized Houston Skyline program.&nbsp; We recently wrote an article on her college commitment and here is a little bit from the article, “<em>She is one of the best leapers in the state and she showcases that athleticism every single time she suits up.&nbsp; Every spectator in the crowd is astonished at her ability to get off of the ground so fast and so effortlessly.&nbsp; She was blessed with amazing talent and we are very lucky to have her in the state.&nbsp; The best aspect about her play is that she is so versatile.&nbsp; She can play as a pin on both sides of the court and can also set so well.&nbsp; Her blocking and digging are at an elite level to say the least.&nbsp; </em><em>We are proud to announce that she has committed to playing volleyball at Vanderbilt University.”</em>&nbsp; Due to all of the great things that have happened to her over the course of this year, we decided to add one more awesome tidbit to her resume.&nbsp; She deserves to be listed higher amongst the state's top players and we would love if you could help us congratulate her on the achievement.&nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>As always stay tuned for more articles on your favorite athletes.&nbsp;
