2027 Top 10 Update: Nine Locked In; One Ready to Call Home

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Nine of the top ten athletes in California's 2027 class have already made their college commitments, a testament to the depth of talent in this group. Among them are standout names who have not only shined for their high schools and clubs, but some have also showcased their skills at PrepDig events along the way. That leaves just one still open, setter <strong>[player_tooltip player_id='533581' first='Kalea' last='Lee']</strong>, a dynamic playmaker who is ready to find her home at the next level.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Join me in celebrating these incredible athletes and their voices.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["533581"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-68c2eabadce57"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700"><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='533581' first='Kalea' last='Lee'] – Uncommitted</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">[player_tooltip player_id='533581' first='Kalea' last='Lee'], a standout setter from Cathedral Catholic, is now ready to lead at Mater Dei. Playing club for Wave Volleyball, she has already earned MaxPreps All-American, an Under Armour All-American invite and is widely recognized as one of the nation's top setters in the 2027 class on the JVA and AVCA lists. A fixture atop the California rankings, Kalea is the clear-cut No. 1 uncommitted setter in her class. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">At Cathedral Catholic, she posted an impressive 6.4 assists per set and totaled 794 assists during the 2024–25 season, numbers that placed her among the top setters in the region according to MaxPreps. She also guided the Dons to multiple CIF Open Division titles, running the offense with calm precision and setting a standard of consistency and leadership on the court. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">What sets Kalea apart is her adaptability and clean mechanics. She delivers accurate, hittable balls regardless of the pass quality, often rescuing plays by setting from her knees or handling tough receptions that most setters would leave for the libero. Her “hands of silk” and ability to hit her targets make her the type of setter every hitter loves to play with. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Kalea hasn't just been part of top-level programs, she's led them. From orchestrating Wave VBC's elite squads to quarterbacking Cathedral Catholic's attack, she's proven herself as the steadying force teams can trust in big moments. She also showcased her talents at the 2024 Prep Dig Preview at SoCal VBC, further cementing her exposure. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Now preparing to join a star-powered Mater Dei roster, Kalea is poised to elevate her game even higher. With a resume full of accolades, championship experience, and unmatched setting skill, she's more than ready to call her next home at the college level. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Kalea's voice: </strong>“Although the transfer process has taken a lot of time and required a lot of patience, I can't wait to get back to playing the game I love most with some of the most talented and competitive players. I've put in so much work, time, and love for this sport, and I hope that one day I'll be able to use this talent in the future when I find the right place for me. For now, my commitment is in God's timing, and soon I will have a place to call home.”</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">~ Michelle Bamford @Coachable247</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["482047"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-68c2f3e975539"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700"><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='482047' first='Westley' last='Matavao'] - University of California, Los Angeles</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Westley's Voice: </strong>8 CLAP.
