5 Legit Players in the 2029 Class

The last group of players who will graduate in the 20's. Seems a little wild to type that out but it is finally here. These freshmen are players who made a name for themselves and should be on college radars already. This class has players at every position that can be big time recruits down the road. When we release our 2029 rankings, they will for sure be on that list.   [player_tooltip player_id='761797' first='Elizabeth' last='(EJ) Rice']- She is a 5"10 Outside Hitter for Edmond Santa Fe. EJ has exploded on the scene! Her power and mature approach make for a tough swing to handle. With over 300 kills and hitting over .200, that is a SOLID freshman campaign! Ej has a very bright future under head coach Drew McCarty and within the always top tier Edmond Santa Fe program.   [player_tooltip player_id='554318' first='Jentri' last='Denwalt']- She is a 5'11 Setter/Right Side Hitter for Mount St. Mary. Jentri had HUGE shoes to fill when Gatorade POY and Washington State commit Liv Ward graduated. She stepped up to the plate and hit homerun after homerun. Her tall, athletic frame helps her have a huge ceiling. She will continue to gain big time experience and develop into another legit setter to play for MSM.   [player_tooltip player_id='880548' first='Kayliana' last='Hatfield']- She is a 5'10 Outside Hitter for Sapulpa. She is a tall athletic outside hitter who has huge upside potential. She has a big fast approach and a high touch point. If she gains the same amount of skill development in this upcoming year as she did this year, she will be a top tier 5A player for the Chieftains. She is a multisport athlete who will gain something from each season. She was just shy of triple digit kills this season and 30 blocks. Solid outing as a freshman and she will only get better with each season.   [player_tooltip player_id='779559' first='Sophia' last='Bass']- She is a 5'5 Setter for Heritage Hall. Sophia stepped out and stepped up for Heritage Hall. She was a big reason they were as dangerous as they were. They are full of young and talented players, HH will be an issue for a while. Her ability to cover ground, pivot set and deliver consistent ball to her hitters sets her apart. Her ability to play good defense and get on a serving run, really rounds out her play.   [player_tooltip player_id='752787' first='Aven' last='Payne']- She is a 6' Middle Blocker for OCS. Aven brought a big playmaker to the offense. She helped replace the loss of last year's senior middle blocker who graduated. She was an integral part of the team that made it to the final four this season. She added nearly 100 kills to the already solid Saint offense. She will be relied upon even more next season but she will rise to the occasion.   We are beginning to work on 2029 and 2030 rankings. We would love it if you know of any players in these classes that deserve a look, have them create their free account, follow us on social media and send us a message. These classes will be the next wave of big time players for us here in Oklahoma.
