Rankings Update: Final Top Ten 2024

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>We have come to an end for the 2024 rankings. Why? There are players in our rankings who are done with their prep careers. They will head off to college in a few short weeks to begin the next chapter of their volleyball and academic careers. So with that, and what is now considered an abbreviated club season, it's time to wrap it up.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>In our final ranking, the top spot hasn't changed. [player_tooltip player_id='119707' first='Skyler' last='Pierce'] will finish as the number one ranked player in the class after another club and high school season where she racked up many national accolades. She will head to Nebraska this winter to begin the next chapter. The Robin to her Batman on the Olathe Northwest team finishes behind her in [player_tooltip player_id='119724' first='Jillian' last='Huckabey']. One of the more diverse players in the class, she will head to Florida International after an all-state season. The top libero in the class finishes in the third spot with [player_tooltip player_id='150068' first='Ryan' last='McAleer']. We didn't see her numbers this high school as they weren't posted but we don't need them to know how good and important she is to a team. Purdue will be her next stop.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>After the top three, we started getting a little movement in our updates. [player_tooltip player_id='150065' first='Camdyn' last='Stucky'] will finish as the top setter in the class while moving up to the fourth spot. The Tennessee-bound Stucky helped Maize South become a state contender after transferring there for her junior year. She assisted on 935 kills in her final season. At 6'2", she brings a lot of intangibles to the table. [player_tooltip player_id='201027' first='Jada' last='Ingram'] slides up to the fifth spot after a great prep career. Ingram will head to UNLV where she will play in the middle for the Rebels. After winning a state title as a junior, she finished her last year with 487 kills. Another dynamic middle who can affect the game offensively and defensively comes in at the sixth spot. St. Thomas Aquinas standout [player_tooltip player_id='119725' first='Tatum' last='Grimes'] will head to Army West Point after helping lead her team to consecutive state title matches. She had 281 kills and 106 blocks in her final season. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Coming in at seven is the Cincinnati Bearcat pledge [player_tooltip player_id='119693' first='Janelle' last='Green']. She plays in a two-setter offense in high school but we've seen her do amazing things in the one-setter system at the club level. She had her top assist high school season this fall totaling 619. The do-everything [player_tooltip player_id='119708' first='Rachel' last='Van Gorp'] is number eight in the updated rankings. She was an instrumental piece in helping Heritage Christian capture another state title in 2023. She will venture to Ames, Iowa to play for Iowa State. South Kansas is well represented in the top ten with [player_tooltip player_id='119709' first='Gracie' last='Morrow'] at ninth. She will stay close to home to play for Wichita State after a senior season of over 300 kills and 200 digs. And rounding out our top ten is [player_tooltip player_id='119704' first='Cy' last='Rae Campbell']. She is Wake Forest signed and was a strong tandem with Van Gorp at Heritage Christian. She was consistent in her four years, averaging 275 kills per season. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
