<p>I have seen my fair share of live-action in the past two weeks, so I have been sitting on multiple commitment announcements.</p>

<p>This will be my final report for June on Prep Dig and subscribers and fans should prepare themselves for a busy month of July.</p>

<p>A rankings update for the class of 2025 is scheduled to hit on July 2. The other classes 2026-2028 will also be updated in July. I plan on scouting summer league action at Nemaha Central Middle School on July 10 and scouting matches from the MO-KAN summer tournament at Washburn University on July 12-13.</p>

<p>Here is a quick look at four ranked Kansas athletes who recently announced their verbal commitments to college programs. I would like to thank Prep Network's Graphic Design Specialist Sofia Jordan for the awesome new graphic. It is my favorite graphic that the awesome graphics team as created for Prep Dig Kansas.</p>

<p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='219722' first='Kinzie' last='Perdue']</strong>, 5'10”, OH, Arkansas City, ‘25 (Emporia State)</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Hot off the presses is the announcement of Perdue's verbal commitment to Emporia State. The future Hornet is a quick athlete who could serve as an early utility player for the Division II program. She heads into her senior season with a chance to make a run at the 1,000 career threshold in both kills and digs. The Arkansas City prospect has 770 career digs and 650 kills.</p>

<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='493574' first='Zoe' last='Wisdom']</strong>, 5'11”, S, Maize (Oklahoma Christian)</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Wisdom is the oldest of three Wisdom sisters playing for the Maize Eagles. I saw her compete at a summer tournament at Butler Community College. She has verbally committed to play for Oklahoma Christian University. Oklahoma Christian is a Division II school in Edmond, Oklahoma. The Eagles are members of the Lone Star Conference and have stocked up on Kansas talent. Clearwater's [player_tooltip player_id='520294' first='Kenzy' last='McArtor'] and Trinity Academy's [player_tooltip player_id='521830' first='Elle' last='Davis'] are also headed to Edmond. Wisdom is a tall setter who can also be a dangerous blocker and attacker at the net.</p>

<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='222097' first='Taylor' last='Stanley']</strong>, 6'1”, OH, Blue Valley Southwest, '26, (Kansas)</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Stanley has made an early commitment to the Kansas Jayhawks. Stanley is a big-time hitter who already has recorded more than 300 total kills after just her freshman and sophomore seasons. She is quick and explosive. It is key to remember that this is an early commitment and nothing is cut and dry until the official paperwork is signed.</p>

<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='154038' first='Ella' last='Florez']</strong>, 5'9”, S, Mill Valley, '26, (Iowa State)</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Another 2026 talent who ripped the band-aid quick on her recruitment is future Iowa State Cyclone Florez. The Blue Valley North setter has been the top-ranked setter in the Kansas Class of 2026 for quite some time. She tallied an amazing 943 assists during her sophomore campaign. I was hoping to catch her play in Lansing the first week of June, but unfortunately, she was unable to attend the event.</p>
