Players ranked <strong>31–40</strong> are not afterthoughts—they are athletes who consistently showed growth, competitiveness, and traits college coaches track closely at this stage. This range is where development curves start to bend upward, where skill meets intent, and where projection becomes just as important as production. Each of these athletes caught our attention over the past season in different ways, and each brings something unique that has us excited heading into the next evaluation cycle.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["882502"],"_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-694c13bf9a8e6"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700"><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='882502' first='Sylvia' last='Barnacle'] | DS/L | No. 4 DS/L – Class of 2029</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Sylvia built her case through consistency and trust. Over the past season, she proved to be a steady presence in the back row, showing reliable platform angles and an ability to stay balanced under pressure. What stood out most was her discipline—she rarely overplays balls and understands defensive responsibility within a system. Her serve receive has trended upward, allowing offenses to stay in rhythm more often.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700"><br>Looking ahead, Sylvia's growth will come as she expands her defensive range and continues to gain confidence as a vocal leader.
