<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong><em>Get 30% off your first billing cycle with code:&nbsp;howe30&nbsp;in the coupon code area</em></strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>The anticipation is building within Iowa's 2028 Class as June 15 draws near. That's the date the NCAA first allows college coaches direct contact with high school recruits. <br></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>The state's collection of juniors-to-be is a talented. It's strong at the top and runs deep with players that can help programs at the next level. There are prospects capable of fitting into all divisions.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Prep Dig's <a href="https://prepdig.com/iowa/rankings/2028-watch-list-2/" id="https://prepdig.com/iowa/rankings/2028-watch-list-2/">rankings for Iowa's 2028 Class</a> serve as a guide. They are by no means a referendum, however. Plenty of development for all of these players remains, and it's not linear. <br></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>While not limited to them, the Top 3-rated players clearly flash Power 4 potential. They should have their phones handy on June 15. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Top-ranked [player_tooltip player_id='560368' first='Elle' last='Hatlevig'] continues ascending with her growth and consistency at the pin. The Norwalk and Iowa Premier star is an improving six-rotation contributor and possesses a lot of what college coaches are seeking at this stage of the game.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Second-ranked [player_tooltip player_id='573313' first='Deviryn' last='McCarty'] is one of the more unique volleyballers to roll through the state in quite some time. The MOC-Floyd Valley projects as a back-row dynamo on the college level, but her talents at the pin and explosive athleticism leave the door open for more possibilities. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Speaking of versatile, the No. 3-ranked player, Waukee Northwest and Premier attacker [player_tooltip player_id='545971' first='Avery' last='Cordes'], has proven to be impactful in all of the positions across the net. Like the other members of the Top 3, Cordes is an attractive mix of current production and significant upside.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>No. 4 [player_tooltip player_id='545946' first='Addison' last='Waldorf'] is the highest ranked among a really good class of setters. The Humboldt standout is improving with each passing competition and consistently excels at the required tasks of the position.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>I say confidently that fifth-ranked [player_tooltip player_id='781456' first='Morgan' last='Kooiman'] has as high of a ceiling as anyone in this class, and that's saying something. A force at Western Christian and for a Kairos EV outfit, the bouncy pin has a ton of projection remaining for a player already with a heavy swing and long arms. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>No. 6 [player_tooltip player_id='516002' first='Julia' last='Schlarbaum'] was as fast riser at this time a year ago. Since then, the Iowa United and Clear Creek Amana product has become better at the pin but made tremendous strides in the back row, giving college coaches a lot to consider.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='730419' first='Hailey' last='Wiederin'] joins Kooiman as a student-athlete packed with potential well beyond her current capabilities. A stalwart with Ankeny and Premier, Wiederin definitely can help colleges at both pins with the skill set to slide to the middle if needed. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Eighth-ranked [player_tooltip player_id='845755' first='Kennedy' last='Klein'] has a case for being the best all-around volleyball player in Iowa's '28 Class. The Dowling Catholic and Iowa United star impacts matches through six rotations. Her back-row performance continues to gain consistency.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Colleges looking for a well-rounded middle hitter have one at their disposal in Woodward-Granger and Premier prospect [player_tooltip player_id='702737' first='Alena' last='Schaack']. Not the tallest performer at the position, Prep Dig's No. 9 player gets the job done with explosive athleticism and bounce, which could also work at a pin.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>No. 10 [player_tooltip player_id='742600' first='Piper' last='Hodge'] provides prospective colleges with a great option in the back row. The Davenport Assumption and Iowa Select libero covers a lot of court and is technically sound with a great feel for game flow. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
