Class of 2024 State Ranking New Additions Vol 2

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>The State Rankings update is here!!! We have added 20 new players in this update and tons have made some serious moves bettering their stock.&nbsp; We have been watching the 2024 class very closely throughout the entire high school and 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 listed in the rankings due to their individual performances.&nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='349828' first='Lilliana' last='Montes'] [2024] 6-3 Middle (HS: Vista Murieta/Club: Coast/Verbal: University of Maryland Eastern Shore)</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Please officially welcome Miss Montes to the State Rankings.&nbsp; She is currently ranked as the 35^th best overall player according to our Prep Dig California State Rankings.&nbsp; She plays at Vista Murieta High School and for the Coast volleyball club program.&nbsp; Lilly will play for the University of Maryland at Eastern Shore next season.&nbsp; She finished her high school career with 373 kills on a very impressive .290 hitting percentage.&nbsp; She also had 212 total blocks over three years in the middle.&nbsp; You cannot teach height and Lilly has a lot of it.&nbsp; While most taller players are a little slower on the court, Miss Montes moves so well laterally and drives hard toward her setter in order to stay on tempo for the quick attack.&nbsp; I also love how she is able to hit around the block with amazing angles for a score.&nbsp; We are very proud to have her listed on our prestigious State Rankings list.&nbsp; Please help us congratulate her on her achievement of being listed amongst the great players of this state.&nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='536135' first='Makayla' last='Gates'] [2024] 5-11 Outside (HS: Yorba Linda/Club: Momentous/Verbal: Uncommitted)</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Please officially welcome Miss Gates to the State Rankings.&nbsp; She is currently ranked as the 42^nd best overall player according to our Prep Dig California State Rankings.&nbsp; She plays at Yorba Linda High School and for the Momentous volleyball club program.&nbsp; Makayla is an extremely talented and electric left side attacker who can light up a scoreboard in a hurry from any location on the court.&nbsp; She is a six-rotation player with a ridiculous vertical who also contacts the ball at the true peak of her reach.&nbsp; Her lightning quick arm swing finds the seam with ease as she slices it through the air with a surgeon's precision.&nbsp; Blockers will have to time it perfectly due to her amazing hang time in the air.&nbsp; When her squad is able to give her a one on one situation, it usually ends up in a hard driven kill for her.&nbsp; She is a member of the famed ten foot club, meaning she can approach touch over ten feet in the air.&nbsp; We are very happy to have her listed on our site.&nbsp; Please help us congratulate her on earning a spot in our prestigious State Rankings.&nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='202009' first='Chloe' last='Hynes'] [2024] 6-1 Right Side (HS: Mira Costa/Club: SCVC/Verbal: New York University)</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Please officially welcome Miss Hynes to the State Rankings.&nbsp; She is currently ranked as the 45^th best overall player according to our Prep Dig California State Rankings.&nbsp; She stars on the volleyball court at Mira Costa High School and also plays at the Southern [program_tooltip program_id='429351' first='California' last='Volleyball Club'].&nbsp; Chloe has some thunderous power that she unleashes on both pins when needed.&nbsp; Her raw natural power can be seen when she bombs down the line or attacks the split in the block for a cross court shot kill.&nbsp; One thing I really like about her is how she is able to turn on the ball in mid-air to hit around the block.&nbsp; When attackers can do this, it is super deceptive and tricks the defense into setting up incorrectly.&nbsp; This is super advantageous for Miss Hynes as she racks up points for her squad.&nbsp; Not many players are able to change their approach for different tempos, but she had to do this routinely during the high school season as Mira Coast ran a super fast left side set and a higher tempo right side set, which Chloe had to run at different times in a given match.&nbsp;&nbsp; Please help us congratulate her on earning a spot in our prestigious State Rankings.&nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>As always stay tuned for more articles on your favorite athletes.&nbsp;
