Class of 2027 State Ranking New Additions Vol 1

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>The State Rankings update is here!!! We have added 22 new players to the rankings and a few dozen players to the Watch List in this update.  Quite a few players went from being listed on the Watch List to being added to the Rankings List.  We are so proud of each and every player who is listed.  This series of articles is to introduce them to our readers and every college coach in the country.  We have been watching the 2027 class very closely throughout the entire high school season and now halfway through the club season.  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.  We have been talking to a lot of coaches across the country and this class is littered with college prospects.  The following players showed us all that they deserved to be added to the rankings due to their individual performances. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block

ranked as the 57^th best overall prospect in the 2027 Class according to our Prep Dig Texas State Rankings.  She plays for Lake Country Christian High School and also for the [program_tooltip program_id='431308' first='Texas' last='Advantage'] Volleyball club program.  After watching her all season long in club, I am amazed at her body control both at the net if she plays front row while blocking and while delivering the ball to her hitters.  Her posture is amazing and this helps her to be in proper position to be consistent with each set.  She can perform repeatable movements over and over to set up her hitters perfectly.  She really excels in moving the ball around to all of her attackers especially in a long rally.  This helps to keep the defense off-balance and that translates into her squad being very aggressive offensively.  In the back row, she is able to track down balls and play defense like a libero out of the right back zone.  It really makes a huge difference when you have a setter committed to keeping the ball off of the floor.  We are very excited to have her listed in our publication.  Please help us congratulate her on earning a spot in our State Rankings.  </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block

currently ranked as the 77^th best overall prospect in the 2027 Class according to our Prep Dig Texas State Rankings.  She plays for Saint Mary's Hall High School and also for the [program_tooltip program_id='431254' first='San' last='Antonio Juniors'] volleyball club.  We have covered her a few times already this year and for very good reason.  This young lady can flat out play defense and pass serve at an elite level.  Her club coaches are also very high on her abilities as they have reached out to us to give her a solid look.  We really love what we see and that is why she has earned this spot.  Her posture very rarely changes while she is moving toward the ball.  When a libero doesn't raise up her shoulders, this keeps the ball moving forward toward her setter during the pass or dig.  I also love how tenacious she is on defense.  Her mentality proves just how persistent she is at pursuing the ball.  There are tons of times that she comes out of nowhere to dive for a loose ball and keep it from scoring.  We are very high on this young lady and think she has a very bright future in the sport.  Please help us congratulate her on earning a spot in our State Rankings. </p>

ranked as the 60^th best overall prospect in the 2027 Class according to our Prep Dig Texas State Rankings.   She plays for Corum Deo Academy High School and also for the [program_tooltip program_id='431308' first='Texas' last='Advantage'] Volleyball club.  Norah has a very electric arm that unleashes thunder on the ball with each swing.  Watching her hit the ball is a joy for volleyball purists like me.  Young middles who want to see beautiful form and technique in both approach and arm swing should really give her a look.  There is not a route that she cannot run out of the middle with both precision and speed.  One of the best aspects of her play is how she is able to line up both as a middle or a right side.  While on the right side, she can run a right side slide and be lethal against a one on one blocker.  At the net, she is also a shut down blocker who can match up with any position.  We are proud to have her listed and you should give her a watch at a tournament.  Please help us congratulate her on earning a spot on our State Rankings.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>As always stay tuned for
