<p><strong>How are these determined? </strong></p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>There is no science, there is no formula, it's a gray area. Do we look at the entire class or just the top one or two in the class? Do we value the immediate impact they will have as freshmen or do we look at what they could do in their entire year? What about the combination of players coming in along with the players they already have? What's the answer? A little bit of all of the above. These recruiting rankings will be based on the level of players coming in and what they can collectively do as a class. Some classes have two coming, others four or five (some more). There are some classes that are small, but could have an immediate impact. </p>

<p><strong>What To Know About The Top Ten </strong></p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>The traditional powers continue to stay strong with the likes of Texas, Nebraska, Stanford, and Wisconsin leading the top four of this group. However there are some relatively new names that have been making waves in the recruiting world with USC, Texas A&M, and Vanderbilt cracking the top ten. Vanderbilt will start their official first season of volleyball in the fall of 2025. </p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Texas has three top ten athletes coming to Austin in Abby Vander Wal, [player_tooltip player_id='181296' first='Macaria' last='Spears'], and Taylor Harvey. They will also bring in two local stars in Callie Kruger and [player_tooltip player_id='179899' first='Addison' last='Gaido'] who have been key to the success of Austin Skyline. Vander Wal comes from the Chicagoland, playing for 1st Alliance who has consistently been one of the top teams in their age group. Spears won an 18 Open championship playing for TAV and is one of the most physical attackers in the country from this class. [player_tooltip player_id='179887' first='Callie' last='Krueger'] has always been impressive as a libero. There could be an immediate need for Krueger to come in and contribute right away, adding depth to the Longhorn backcourt. </p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Nebraska brings in another highly touted recruiting class where their cupboard is going to be really full at the outside hitter position which will raise some questions. The Huskers will return decorated outside hitters in Taylor Landfair and Harper Murray while also bringing in one of the top outside hitters from the Class of 2024 in Skyler Pierce. Teraya Sigler highlights this class of 2025 as the top prospect in the country. The Arizona Storm athlete has led her club team to back to back open championships, has been a star on the international courts. She is a winner through and through. </p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>USC had the third ranked Class of 2024 recruiting class for Prep Dig and has followed up with the fifth best Class with 2025. From 2024 they had two big names out of Texas with Jadyn Livings and Favor Anyanwu coming out of the Dallas area, teaming up with Nebraska commit [player_tooltip player_id='181296' first='Macaria' last='Spears'] for their 18 Open championship. In the Class of 2025 they bring in another duo from the same club in Kansas City kids Abigail Mullen and Reese Messer. They have been stars for Dynasty where they have such a great connection with Mullen being a six rotation right side who can score points from anywhere. </p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Minnesota is building plenty of recruiting momentum with this Class of 2025 and already has a strong start with their Class of 2026. Kelly Kinney will head North from Florida where she has been a key piece to the rise of Tribe volleyball who won the 17 Open division at AAUs. She has also been a standout for the USAV Youth National teams. The Gophers will have [player_tooltip player_id='212727' first='Jordan' last='Taylor'] coming up from Texas where she has such a presence as a 6'5 middle. They also have two of the top players from Minnesota in six rotation lefty right side Carly Gilk and libero McKenna Garr. </p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Purdue had a solid recruiting class that got a boost in October when the top libero in the Class of 2025, Aniya Warren out of the Chicago area flipped her commit from Indiana to Purdue. Warren was a standout for 1st Alliance and the USA Youth National teams that really raised her stock among all athletes in the Class of 2025. They will also bring in one of the top outsides in the state of Indiana in with Addy Tindall and Isabelle Bardin who is a very dynamic setter from the Washington DC area where she has starred at Metro Volleyball Club. </p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Texas A&M will bring in four nationally ranked athletes who represent each contact with Addi Applegate at libero, [player_tooltip player_id='179889' first='Kirra' last='Musgrove'] at setter, and attackers [player_tooltip player_id='182110' first='Megan' last='Fitch'] on the outside and [player_tooltip player_id='180163' first='Taryn' last='Morris'] out of the middle. This group brings in a lot of physicality to College Station where they are returning almost their entire roster from this past season. </p>
