<p>Over the past several months, I've been locked in courtside. From December to now, I have been watching, noting, and analyzing some of the best up-and-coming volleyball talent in the game.

These athletes have stood out for their skill, grit, and game-changing presence on the court. Whether you're a coach, recruiter, or fan, keep your eyes on these names.<br></p>

<p class="text-gray-700">Mila has one of the best backrow attacks I have seen in a long time. Her swing is so powerful, and she puts everything in her body into every attack. Mila is great at defending in the back row, very disciplined, communicative, and aggressive. For her not to have played high school ball yet, she is a very mature athlete. I truly can not wait to see what she contributes to the volleyball world over the next 4 years.</p>
