<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Developing Depth, Emerging Clarity, and the Final Set of Rising Names to Track</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>As we close out this early Watch List phase for the Class of 2027, we're left with players who may not have made the loudest entrances — but are growing into their roles with discipline, awareness, and stability. These athletes are learning how to shape play rather than just react to it. Their impact might be subtle now — but subtle often grows into significant.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>These are the players who may grow into difference-makers — one season, one skill, one breakthrough moment at a time.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["911115"],"_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-692a1e7d05876"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Kaylee reads early and moves with discipline, never wasting motion. Her angles are clean, her balance steady, and she delivers playable balls without panic, a trait that's rare at this age. She's becoming that player coaches trust to stabilize the floor, bring fearless pursuit, and keep the team emotionally grounded. <strong><em> ~ Samantha Fitzgerald @</em>BenchtoBeast</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["911174"],"_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-692a1e7d0590b"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Ashley plays with a rhythmic, deliberate tempo that helps her offense stay composed, even when disrupted. She adjusts her location in motion, distributing cleanly off imperfect passes, and maintains excellent posture through contact. Her best trait is her calmness. She is a setter who doesn't escalate chaos but absorbs it, organizes it, and turns it into opportunity. <strong><em> ~ Samantha Fitzgerald @</em>BenchtoBeast</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["797088"],"_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-692a1e7d05978"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Mia brings clear defensive instincts with disciplined footwork and a poised platform. She is prepared and a masterful reader on the court. Emotionally steady, fundamentally clean, and quietly reliable, she plays the role of defensive backbone with intention. <strong><em> ~ Samantha Fitzgerald @</em>BenchtoBeast</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["836605"],"_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-692a1e7d059e2"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Nora has an elegant offensive game with smooth approach, composed swing tempo, strong posture through landing. She doesn't over-swing; instead, she reads blockers and makes controlled decisions. There's maturity in how she moves and untapped upside in how she competes. <strong><em> ~ Samantha Fitzgerald @</em>BenchtoBeast</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["802359"],"_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-692a1e7d05a49"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Kelsie competes with energy, voice, and infectious court presence. She communicates early, moves cleanly through serve-receive, and adjusts well to changes in rhythm. Her floor coverage and rally awareness continue to strengthen. All signs of a defense-first leader. <strong><em> ~ Samantha Fitzgerald @</em>BenchtoBeast</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["911151"],"_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-692a1e7d05adf"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Anjalee is calm in chaos. Her defensive reads are sharp, her body positioning disciplined, and her footwork is organized rather than frantic. She plays the libero role with quiet impact and truly stabilizing presence. <strong><em> ~ Samantha Fitzgerald @</em>BenchtoBeast</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>This completes our early spotlight for the Class of 2027 —<br>And there's still so much more to learn.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Some names will surge.<br>Some will grow steadily.<br>Some may surprise everyone — including us.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>No predictions yet. Just possibilities.<br>And a class worth watching.</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Stay tuned.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Note to GA Athletes:</strong><strong><br></strong>If I didn't get the chance to write about you this week — I see you and I appreciate your game!
