JUNE 15 DS/LIBEROS CALL LIST: BACK ROW BADDIES JUST A CLICK AWAY

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>June 15 marks a pivotal moment in the recruiting journey. It is the first day NCAA Division I programs can directly contact Class of 2027 athletes. To support college coaches during this critical window, PrepDig has assembled a list of elite defensive specialists and liberos. These athletes anchor serve receive, read hitters with precision, and make game-saving plays look easy.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>PrepDig is the trusted resource for college coaches across all divisions.</strong> After logging notes in the UA platform, many coaches head straight to the PrepDig Prospect Index, an organized and accessible player database that includes:</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>📌 Player Bio<br>📸 Instagram Handle<br>📝 Vetted Evaluations<br>📰 Featured Articles<br>🎥 Highlight Footage</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>This is more than a platform.

They want to see your court awareness, your hustle, and your willingness to do the tough work.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Prepare to engage.</strong><br>Have a list of questions ready. Ask about their defensive systems, how they use liberos and DSs, and what they value in a back-row player. Use this opportunity to learn more about the program and how you might fit into it.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Stay organized.</strong><br>Keep a notepad close. Write down who you spoke with, what you discussed, and any next steps. These small details will help you stay focused and follow up with purpose.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>For top prospects, preparation is key.</strong><br>Know your top schools.
