<p>I spent a big chunk of my weekend watching this division battle it out. We have a ton of really good young talent here in Oklahoma. My guess is we end up with close to 30 college commits from this group when it is all said and done! Let's take a look at a handful of players that I was able to scout.</p>

<p>[player_tooltip player_id='752540' first='Nayeli' last='Dragoo-Crawford']: Outside Hitter for Peak 15-1 and Edmond Santa Fe. Very impressive young lady and volleyball player. When her coach gave her feedback, she looked him in the eyes and was engaged in taking it all in. She has the drive and hunger to be a beast. She has a great frame and touch point already. She has the tools and capability to be one of the best players in the entire state.</p>

<p>[player_tooltip player_id='748838' first='Cassidy' last='Williams']: Outside Hitter for TPV 15-1 and Jenks. Another young talent that is very developed as a player. She may be next in the line of great hitters to come through the Jenks volleyball program. Her power is already that of a senior type player. If you are a college scout, I would not leave her off your watch list.</p>

<p>[player_tooltip player_id='554318' first='Jentri' last='Denwalt']: Setter for Peak 15-1 and Mount St. Mary. Even younger than Cassidy and Nayeli but equally as skilled. I would argue that Liv Ward is currently the best setter in the state and I would also argue that Jentri will fill that role extremely soon! My way too early of a guess is, she ends up at a notable power 5 school in the end of it all.</p>

<p>[player_tooltip player_id='752841' first='Jocelyn' last='Wilson']: Outside Hitter for Charge Tulsa 15UA and Bixby. Jocelyn has nerves of steel, she took big swing after big swing in pivotal moments. She also has a great approach and touch point. She is also very disciplined in defense. Her and a plethora of other young talent has Bixby poised to make a huge jump in wins the next few years.</p>

<p>[player_tooltip player_id='750703' first='Gwen' last='Gilbert']: Right Side Hitter for TPV 15-2 and Cascia Hall. Gwen did a great job at the net on both offense and defense. I saw her do a great job of setting up and timing her block to get big time stuff blocks on opposing hitters. She even got a couple solo blocks! Gwen is going to be a playmaker for Cascia this season. If you are on their schedule, watch out for her.</p>

<p>[player_tooltip player_id='773574' first='Tinlee' last='Upchurch']: Outside Hitter for Premier 15 Diamonds. Tinlee was impressive from her athleticism to her IQ. She made a few great plays that were not flashy but super intelligent. One point that stands out, she was set too far inside and while looking cross court in the air, she tipped the ball behind her head just inside the court. Not a soul saw it coming and it scored with ease. Don't worry she got a hold of a few and ripped those down the line too. Her and Premier 15 Diamonds were a solid squad that I had not seen yet. I may have to write a whole article on them.</p>

<p>Emersyn Jones: Setter for Charge Tulsa 15 National and Jenks. Emersyn was such a key player for her team in the match I got to watch. She gave her hitters the same look each time she could use her hands. Even when using her platform, she still put up a great look for her pins. She is solid fundamentally and I look forward to her development the next couple seasons.</p>

<p>2028 rankings, summer league/team camp coverage, and high school team previews are all on the horizon! Now is the time to get that 1 year subscription. That would essentially get you access to an entire school season AND next year's club season!</p>
