Class Of ’26 Updated Rankings Released Today! What To Expect

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>We spent last week talking about the ins and outs of the class of '25 updated rankings list, which means this week the attention is on the class of '26. Here's what to expect:</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:heading --> <h2 class="wp-block-heading">Over 60 New Additions!</h2> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>We've seen a ton of volleyball since the last update in the fall, and with that comes new (to us) additions to the class of '26 list. Some are easy misses---there's only one of me and SO much of the state to cover. Some are "duh" moments, and we'll note them accordingly in a specific article on Wednesday. Either way, there are probably some kids we've not had a chance to see live, but we're still listing well over 200 athletes from this class.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:heading --> <h2 class="wp-block-heading">Articles This Week Specific To The Class Of '26</h2> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>In order, the articles you'll see this week will be:</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:list --> <ul><!-- wp:list-item --> <li>Stock Risers</li> <!-- /wp:list-item --></ul> <!-- /wp:list --> <!-- wp:list --> <ul><!-- wp:list-item --> <li>New (To Us) Additions</li> <!-- /wp:list-item --></ul> <!-- /wp:list --> <!-- wp:list --> <ul><!-- wp:list-item --> <li>Positional Breakdowns (Pin attackers, Setters, Middles)</li> <!-- /wp:list-item --></ul> <!-- /wp:list --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>We pride ourselves on being as far-reaching as possible, covering as much of the state as possible and naming multiple clubs in the same article.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:heading --> <h2 class="wp-block-heading">The List Is Subjective</h2> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Like any rankings list, these are opinion-based, and no formula or metric was used in compiling said list. Yes, there might need to be an adjustment here or there, and NO, this is not the be-all, end-all to all lists. Lower on the list does not mean you're a terrible player. High on this list doesn't mean you must be nationally ranked. This is for fun, and should be treated accordingly. Additionally, this is our opinion of which players are the most college ready, not necessarily the best <em>right now.</em></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:heading --> <h2 class="wp-block-heading">Be Kind</h2> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Be kind, be gracious, and have fun. Just like you tell athletes before they hit the floor, we should be doing the same. Our existence is specifically for the kids, and we'd like to make sure the focus is on them. Enjoy!</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
