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.
Ayden Ames Ayden Ames 6'4" | MB Prosper | 2024 State #3 Nation TX [2024] 6-3 Middle/Outside (HS: Prosper/Club: Drive Nation /Verbal: Nebraska)
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 2nd best overall prospect in the nation according to our national rankings. She plays at Prosper High School and also at the Drive Nation volleyball club program. We have covered her quite extensively over the last few years since she came over to this wonderful state from California. 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. After watching her club team dominate all year long, it was a no brainer that she should move up even further in our rankings. 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. 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. Please help us congratulate her on earning the top spot in our State Rankings.
Jaela Auguste Jaela Auguste 6'0" | MB Grand Oaks | 2024 State #17 Nation TX [2024] 6-0 Middle (HS: Grand Oaks/Club: Houston Skyline/Verbal: Florida)
Jaela has made one of the biggest jumps in the rankings in this update. She went from being listed as the 35th best overall prospect to now being listed as the 10th best overall prospect in the 2024 Class according to our Prep Dig Texas State Rankings. She is also ranked as the 25th best overall player in our National Rankings. She plays high school volleyball at Grand Oaks High School and also plays for Houston Skyline. Miss Auguste is currently committed to playing college volleyball for the University of Florida next year. When you watch her play, you can easily see why she was recruited so heavily by many top college programs. Her vertical is unreal and she covers so much space both laterally and above the net. I have watched Jaela get better and better each year under some great high school and club coaching. This tells me that she is not done growing in the position and we are only seeing the tip of the iceberg. She also just helped lead the U19 USA National team to a Gold Medal at the FIVB World Championships this past week. Please help us congratulate her on moving into the top ten of our prestigious State Rankings.
Reese Animashaun Reese Animashaun 5'10" | S St. John's | 2024 State #89 Nation TX [2024] 5-10 Outside/Right Side/Setter (HS: St. Johns/Club: Houston Skyline/Verbal: Vanderbilt University)
Reese has also made a huge jump in the rankings. She went from being ranked as the 50th best overall prospect to now being listed as the 18th best overall prospect in the state according to the 2024 Prep Dig Texas State Rankings. She plays for St. John’s High School and plays club for the nationally recognized Houston Skyline program. We recently wrote an article on her college commitment and here is a little bit from the article, “She is one of the best leapers in the state and she showcases that athleticism every single time she suits up. Every spectator in the crowd is astonished at her ability to get off of the ground so fast and so effortlessly. She was blessed with amazing talent and we are very lucky to have her in the state. The best aspect about her play is that she is so versatile. She can play as a pin on both sides of the court and can also set so well. Her blocking and digging are at an elite level to say the least. We are proud to announce that she has committed to playing volleyball at Vanderbilt University.” 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. 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.
