Arkansas’ Class of 2029 Watchlist: What Is That Exactly?

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>The PrepDig Arkansas' Watchlist is made up of athletes that our team of scouts believes need more evaluation before a full ranking can be made. These are players who have shown flashes of potential, stood out at events, or are consistently mentioned by coaches, but we would like to see more of them as we continue to scout at tournaments and games before ranking.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Being on the Watchlist guarantees a ranking will be coming in the future and it signals that a player is in the conversation. Whether they're emerging into a bigger role, developing physically, or starting to find consistency in their game, these athletes have caught our attention and are on our radar. The Watchlist is the first step toward earning a spot in our state rankings.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>As the season progresses and more evaluation opportunities arise, through tournaments, film review, our PrepDig showcase, and coach feedback, these athletes may move up, be added to rankings, or even rise quickly as they show they belong. This list is dynamic and will continue to grow as we get a clearer picture of each athlete's game and impact.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:heading --> <h2 class="wp-block-heading">Who is on our PrepDig Arkansas Class of 2029 Watchlist?</h2> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:table --> <figure class="wp-block-table"><table class="has-fixed-layout"><tbody><tr><td>[player_tooltip player_id='774198' first='Ellie' last='Hankins']</td><td>S/RS</td><td>Mount St. Mary Academy</td><td>[program_tooltip program_id='429308' first='Little' last='Rock Juniors']</td></tr><tr><td>[player_tooltip player_id='759434' first='Ivy' last='Garrett']</td><td>S/DS/L</td><td>Bryant High School</td><td>[program_tooltip program_id='581540' first='501' last='Volley']</td></tr><tr><td>[player_tooltip player_id='750316' first='Finley' last='Nelson']</td><td>S/DS/L</td><td>Mount St. Mary Academy</td><td>[program_tooltip program_id='581540' first='501' last='Volley']</td></tr><tr><td>[player_tooltip player_id='755540' first='Anniston' last='Beasley']</td><td>OH/RS</td><td>Greene County Tech</td><td>Arkansas Juniors VBC</td></tr><tr><td>[player_tooltip player_id='771153' first='Beaux' last='Cameron']</td><td>OH/DS/L</td><td>Har-Ber High School</td><td>NW Arkansas Jrs.

Our scouts will be watching closely throughout the season, whether at tournaments, through game film, or high school matches, to determine where each player fits in upcoming rankings. Consistent performance, growth in skill, and impact on the court will all play a role. Being on the Watchlist means you're in the mix, and what's next is an opportunity to prove you belong among the ranked. Keep competing, keep improving, and stay visible. We want to give the most accurate reflection in our rankings, so continuing our evaluation will help this occur for those in the rankings and on the Watchlist. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:heading --> <h2 class="wp-block-heading">PrepDig FREE Athlete Profile</h2> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Creating your free athlete profile with PrepDig is a simple way to take control of your recruiting journey.
