Get ready to dive into the future stars of North Dakota volleyball—this is just the beginning!    #5   [player_tooltip player_id='743638' first='Casey' last='Deng'] is a name you'll want to remember, my #5 pick. This fierce competitor isn't just making waves—she's redefining what it means to be an elite all-around outside hitter. As a freshman, Casey is already hitting over an 9-foot reach on her approach, a testament to her raw athleticism and explosive power at the net. Her swing is fast, controlled, and punishing, consistently finding seams in the block and drilling deep corners with precision.   But Casey's dominance doesn't stop at the net. She's equally relentless in the back row, covering ground with ease and aggressively pursuing every ball. Her court awareness is sharp, reading hitters and positioning herself perfectly to keep rallies alive. It's rare to see a player this young play with such veteran-like instincts. She doesn't just react—she anticipates, constantly staying one step ahead of her opponents.   What truly separates Casey from the pack, though, is her mindset. She competes with unmatched intensity, pushing herself and her teammates to new heights. Every play, every point, she brings the kind of energy that shifts the momentum of an entire match~Theresa @prepdigdakotas     #4   [player_tooltip player_id='733255' first='Brynlie' last='Richman'], my #4 pick is a freshman setter already redefining the standard for North Dakota's Class of 2028. When she steps on the court, she doesn't just participate—she takes control, orchestrating the game with the poise and presence of a seasoned veteran. Brynlie's leadership is undeniable, setting the tone for her team with sharp decision-making, vocal direction, and an unwavering competitive edge.   Her ability to run a fast-paced offense is nothing short of elite. Brynlie executes a diverse range of routes with precision, spreading the ball to all zones and keeping blockers completely off balance. She understands how to exploit weaknesses in the defense, making split-second decisions that consistently put her hitters in the best possible position to score. Her hands are clean, her placement is consistent, and her tempo control is advanced well beyond her years.   What truly separates Brynlie from the pack is her relentless drive for improvement. She embraces challenges head-on, constantly refining her technique and expanding her playbook. She's not just content with being good—she's committed to being the best. Off the court, her work ethic, coachability, and leadership continue to elevate her game and inspire those around her.   [player_tooltip player_id='733255' first='Brynlie' last='Richman'] isn't just a player with potential—she's already delivering at a high level, and her trajectory points only upward..~Theresa @prepdigdakotas     #3   [player_tooltip player_id='728000' first='Olivia' last='Bratton'] has been on the radar for some time now, and after watching her in action, it's clear why she's creating such a buzz and is my #3 pick. Throughout her freshman year, Olivia showcased remarkable versatility on the court, but it's during this club season that she has truly exploded, solidifying herself as a force to be reckoned with. She's not just playing the game—she's dominating it, setting the tone for every match and leaving a lasting impression on everyone watching. And the best part? She's only just getting started.   What separates Olivia from the competition isn't just her raw power or athleticism, it's her volleyball IQ. She's not out there relying on brute force alone—Olivia attacks with purpose, a sharp eye for finding and exploiting defensive weaknesses with lightning-fast precision. Her court awareness is second to none, and she's consistently making the right reads, whether it's attacking the block, hitting the deep corners, or executing an off-speed shot that keeps defenders on their toes.   Despite being a freshman, Olivia's game has already drawn comparisons to upperclassmen and top-tier hitters. Her natural talent combined with her work ethic and intelligence on the court make her a rare find. She doesn't just hit the ball—she understands the nuances of the game and knows how to use her skills to her advantage. She's already operating at a level beyond her years, and it's clear that her trajectory is only heading upward.~Theresa @prepdigdakotas     #2   [player_tooltip player_id='727993' first='Brooklyn' last='Bogenreif'] is an absolute force on the court and my clear No. 2 pick. As a libero, she doesn't just hold down the back row—she owns it. Her elite defensive skills, lightning-fast first step, and ability to read the game like a seasoned veteran make her the heartbeat of any team's defense. Brooklyn's platform is flawless, delivering precise, consistent passes that keep her offense in system, no matter how tough the serve or attack.   What truly sets Brooklyn apart is her unmatched versatility. While she thrives as a libero, her ability to step into the front row and make plays proves she's far more than just a defensive specialist. She transitions seamlessly from defense to offense, turning clutch digs into scoring opportunities. Her instincts are razor-sharp—she sees the play before it happens, positioning herself perfectly to shut down opponents' best attacks.   Brooklyn plays with an intensity and leadership that simply can't be taught. She's vocal, commanding the court with confidence while lifting up her teammates. Every rally, every set, every game—she hustles, sacrifices, and refuses to let the ball hit the floor. Time and time again, she delivers in the moments that matter most, proving she's the player you want when the game is on the line.   I've watched Brooklyn compete multiple times, and each performance only reinforces one fact: she's the real deal.~Theresa @prepdigdakotas     #1   [player_tooltip player_id='727997' first='Baylor' last='Dinger'] is my top overall pick for the Class of 2028, and it's not even close. She is the full package—skilled, smart, and unstoppable. You've heard me talk about Baylor before, and you'll keep hearing her name because she's simply that good. Baylor isn't just excelling; she's redefining what elite back-row play looks like in North Dakota. She could very well be one of the best liberos this state has ever seen.   Competing against top national teams, Baylor faces some of the strongest hitters in the country, and she shuts them down with ease. Her reads are flawless—when a tip, push, or hard-driven ball is coming, she's already there. This level of court awareness isn't something you can teach. It's instinctual, paired with unmatched grit and relentless drive. Baylor plays like a seasoned veteran, anticipating plays before they happen and turning defense into offense with smooth, controlled passes.   But what truly sets Baylor apart is who she is beyond the skillset. She's humble, hardworking, and passionate. She celebrates her teammates' success more than her own and leads by example every time she steps on the court. Players like Baylor don't come around often—she's rare, and any college program lucky enough to land her will be getting not just an elite libero but an incredible human being. [player_tooltip player_id='727997' first='Baylor' last='Dinger'] is the future, and the future is bright.~Theresa @prepdigdakotas    These top 5 players are just the beginning. The Class of 2028 in North Dakota is loaded with incredible talent, and this group is setting the bar high for what's to come.

I see a group of young women who are not only dominating the game but also setting the tone for the future of volleyball.
