So, what lies ahead for November on Prep Dig Kansas, you might ask?
Well, here is what I have planned.
First, the traditional “All-Deck Team” series for the 2025 prep season will be released this week.
Secondly, “The Kansas Leaderboard” series will be a focus for November, as well as updates in recruiting as often as possible.
I will also be working on rankings updates for the classes of 2026 and 2027, which I have planned for December. I will also be reaching out to college coaches for lists of their recruiting classes and sharing names of uncommitted players with said coaches, as they continue to wrap up their recruiting classes for 2026 and 2027.
I will also begin preparing my scouting dates and trips for the club season.
How can you assist, you also might ask?
Athletes can share with me their college offers and decisions via email or by direct message on X. I want the final rankings on Prep Dig Kansas for the Class of 2026 to have the most complete college commitment information as possible. I like to show the rest of the nation just how many college-level players the Sunflower State is producing.
College coaches can reach out with updated recruiting lists, as well as high school coaches who have players they know have verbally committed to programs.
Club coaches can begin sending rosters and schedules to me as well. I mostly plan to scout 15U and 14U divisions during the club season, looking for players to add to the class of 2029 rankings and put together the first rankings for the Kansas Class of 2030, which will be released in the spring of 2026.
Athletes in the Kansas Class of 2030 can create their own free profiles to be considered for the rankings. Each athlete must list their height, preferred position, and the high school they plan to attend to be considered for the rankings.
As I see players during the club season, I will also create profiles for players in the incoming freshman class.
I have also had athletes in the classes of 2027 and 2028 ask me to come scout them during club season, send me a schedule, and I will try to accommodate you. Please note that I don't attend out-of-state national events, and I try to stay as far away from Bartle Hall as possible. If you have club dates in Kansas City, Lawrence, Wichita, or are a college hosting a club event, feel free to reach out.
November is also a month in which interested athletes should register for the next Prep Dig Showcase in Kansas City. The Prep Dig Exposure Tour will stop in KCK on December 14, 2025. It is listed as being for the classes of 2026-2029. There will not be a freshman showcase in our area, so 2030 interested athletes can inquire about attending. I can't make any guarantees, but I know Prep Network has allowed freshmen at similar winter showcases.

Andale defeated Hayden in three sets to win the school's first state volleyball championship this century. Grimes just missed a triple-double in the opening match of the tournament, tallying 13 kills, nine digs, nine serve receptions, three blocks, and one ace in the win over Bishop Miege.
