2027 Liberos Colleges Need To Know About from the Top 250 Expo

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>We just wrapped up our first-ever Top 250 Expo, and it was INCREDIBLE! Over 90 players from Nevada came out to show off their skills in front of Prep Dig scouts and college coaches who were watching live on BallerTV. Players got to compete in high-energy drills and games, while also getting valuable recruiting tips and making new connections with teammates and coaches. It was a day full of talent, competition, and opportunity!</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Recruiting for the class of 2027 opens on June 15, 2025 and we want to be sure<strong> <span style="text-decoration: underline">college coaches </span></strong>have these Nevada defensive specialists and liberos on their radar.
