<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>In the immortal lyrics of Jackson Browne, after a super busy September, I am “Running On Empty.”</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Therefore, I will be taking some R&amp;R and taking a long vacation in October with my lovely wife of 26-plus years.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>I won't be returning to a gym until the Class 4A and 3A State Tournaments in Hutchinson on October 30 and 31. However, there will be plenty of continued coverage on Prep Dig Kansas during the remainder of Pumpkin Spice Season.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>So here is a look at what subscribers can expect this month.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>First, there will be two rankings updates this month. The Kansas Class of 2028 rankings are scheduled to be updated on October 7, while the Class of 2029 rankings are scheduled to be updated on October 28.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>I have been and will continue to add players to those rankings. Reports from me will be front-loaded and back-loaded this month. Look for lots of coverage in the final week of October.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>I will also spend the month featuring athletes outside of my regular viewing area and sharing names on the Kansas Leaderboard in various categories and by graduation year.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>This month will be a great time for athletes to share their stats, HUDL highlights, and create new Prep Dig profiles.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Athletes and coaches feel free to share information via email or direct messages on X at <a href="mailto:deckscoutks@gmail.com">deckscoutks@gmail.com</a> or @KSScoutDeck</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>It's also a good time for club coaches to reach out and begin sharing roster information.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>I will also be in contact with several college coaches and will be dropping names for consideration. Feel free to contact me if you are still uncommitted. Also, please tag me in social media announcements on X regarding college commitments and offers.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>I will have my computer with me on vacation, but don't expect a quick response; do look for athletes who share information with me to be featured in October reports.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Let me start that October coverage with two reports on athletes in the Kansas Class of 2026.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Here are five athletes tearing it up this season that I have been unable to scout in person.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Please return to Prep Dig Kansas today for an update on athletes currently ranked in the Top 10 in the Kansas Class of 2026 rankings.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["523628"],"_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-68d974f0d24b7"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Nash is a tall setter having another successful season for the MCA Eagles. She finished with more than 1,000 kills as a junior and is on pace to reach that mark during her senior campaign. In her first 55 sets played, she has recorded 469 assists. She is also on pace to set a career high number of kills. He has had two seasons with 50-plus kills and has registered 38 kills in 35 sets. Nash is ranked No. 47 overall in the Kansas Class of 2026 rankings.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["222084"],"_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-68d974f0d2542"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Another setter dishing out assists like Ronald McDonald dishing up Chicken Nuggets is the Cougars' Weber. She has tallied 364 assists in 35 sets this season. She is on pace to blow past her junior season total of 620 assists. Weber has also recorded 91 digs and 35 kills. She is ranked No. 48 overall by Prep Dig Kansas.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["222087"],"_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-68d974f0d25bb"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Blue Valley West is a front-runner to win a state title, and at the heart of its defense is Pandjaris. I first saw her play during the 2023 club season, and her game has evolved over that time. She leads the team in digs with 120 in 35 sets played. This is her fourth-straight season with 100-plus digs, and she is poised to set a career high in digs, surpassing her sophomore season total of 160. She is ranked No. 50 overall and has verbally committed to Rockhurst.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["489765"],"_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-68dacdb414d96"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Buss is posting impressive numbers for the Blue Aces. She has collected 158 kills, 141 digs, and 155 serve receptions in 38 sets played. She has a legit shot at reaching 1,000 career kills and digs with a big October. She is ranked No. 59 overall by Prep Dig Kansas.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["512069"],"_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-68d974f0d262e"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Morrison is posting solid six rotation numbers for the Argonia Raiders. Through 41 sets played, she has recorded 129 kills and 114 digs. If she reaches a total of 300 in both categories, it will be her third straight season of 300-plus kills and digs. She is ranked No. 62 overall in the Kansas Class of 2026.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
