JUNE 15 MIDDLES CALL LIST: NET PROTECTORS ARE 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 coaches during this critical window, PrepDig has assembled a list of elite middles who dominate the net, disrupt offenses, and deliver scoring power in transition.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>PrepDig is the all-in-one resource trusted by college coaches across every division. 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 isn't just a platform. It's your launchpad.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:separator --> <hr class="wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity" /> <!-- /wp:separator --> <!-- wp:heading --> <h2 class="wp-block-heading"><em>IT TAKES A VILLAGE</em></h2> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Behind every successful recruiting journey is a team effort. Coaches, players, club directors, and parents all play a vital role. Here's how each of you can help make the most of this important moment.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:heading {"level":4} --> <h4 class="wp-block-heading"><em><span style="text-decoration: underline">College Coaches</span></em></h4> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>We're continually building this resource and updating profiles alongside athletes and clubs. When a <strong>player verbally commits</strong>, they update their Prospect Index to reflect that. There is no need to scroll through Instagram bios looking for sweatshirt photos. This resource is clean, current, and built with your time in mind.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>As you move through your call list, know that PrepDig is here to support your recruiting process with accurate and organized insights you can trust. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>We know your inboxes and phones are full this week, and we appreciate you relying on PrepDig to help streamline your process.</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:heading {"level":4} --> <h4 class="wp-block-heading"><em><span style="text-decoration: underline">Prospects</span></em></h4> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Click your hyperlink and take a moment to review your profile.</strong><br>Update your bio, double-check your Instagram handle, and upload your most recent highlights. Make sure your video includes block touches, fast transitions, quick reads, and offensive variety. Your profile is your résumé and your voice. Let it speak clearly and confidently.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>As June 15 approaches, ground yourself in confidence.</strong><br>You've earned this moment. Now it's about showing who you are, both as a player and as a person. College coaches are looking beyond stats. They want to know about your coachability, volleyball IQ, and drive to improve.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Be prepared to engage.</strong><br>Have a list of thoughtful questions ready. Ask how middles are used in their system. What tempo do they run? How often are middles involved in the offense? Use this opportunity to learn more about the program, the team culture, and whether it's the right fit for you.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Stay organized.</strong><br>Keep a notepad nearby. Write down who you spoke with, what stood out, and any next steps. These small details will help you stay focused and make stronger follow-ups.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>For top prospects, preparation is key.</strong><br>Have a clear list of your top schools. Be ready for honest conversations. Don't shy away from discussing the full picture, including the potential financial package. And above all, don't assume...ask. Are you their first, second, or third choice?</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>This will be the first of many conversations.</strong><br>You need clarity, especially if you're given a short decision window. When the phone call ends, you should know exactly where you stand and what the offer looks like. Even if your top choice reaches out first, take your time. Just be ready and confident when that moment comes.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:heading {"level":4} --> <h4 class="wp-block-heading"><em><span style="text-decoration: underline">Club Directors</span></em></h4> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>We know you've built strong, trusted relationships with college coaches, and we're here to support and enhance those efforts. Ensuring your athletes are properly linked to your <a href="https://prepdig.com/california/club-programs/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">club profile</a> helps highlight the great work you're doing and gives recruiters a direct line to both the player and your program. Your role extends well beyond June 15, as you continue to guide athletes through communication, timelines, and realistic recruiting goals.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><em><strong><span style="text-decoration: underline">Parents</span></strong></em></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>June 15 is just one day, but it carries big emotions. Your daughter may be nervous, excited, or even discouraged depending on what comes through. Be her calm. Encourage her to be available, confident, and honest. Let her handle the conversations, but stay nearby for support.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Take a breath. You've laid the foundation. You've driven the miles, made the sacrifices, and helped her chase her goals. Now is the time to gently hand over the reins and <strong>encourage her to take ownership of this next step.</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>For questions throughout the process, your primary resource should be your club's recruiting director</strong>. This support is often included in your club dues, and they are well-equipped to guide families through communication, timelines, and finding the right college fit.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Encourage your athlete to lead the way, follow up, and ask the right questions. Your hard work has brought her to this moment, now let her rise to it.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:separator --> <hr class="wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity" /> <!-- /wp:separator --> <!-- wp:heading --> <h2 class="wp-block-heading">THERE IS NO ONE PATH</h2> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>The recruiting journey looks different for every athlete. There is no one-size-fits-all model, and no checklist that guarantees a scholarship.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>The landscape is changing quickly. Some positions may not be open for your grad year. Programs are balancing the transfer portal, international recruiting, and evolving roster strategies. Many schools are taking a wait-and-see approach.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Focus on what you can control. Play your best, promote yourself strategically, and outwork the competition. Build healthy exposure, stay locked in on your goals, and keep moving forward with purpose.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>The wins of today, including your effort, your presence, and your connection, are what build your future wins. Stay present, stay positive, and don't lose sight of the love of the game.</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:separator --> <hr class="wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity" /> <!--
