They are skilled, quick learners, and you can already see them starting to self correct as well as grow their court awareness and overall volleyball IQ. It's kind of crazy to think that in just a year from now they will be stepping into the recruitment and commitment process. Below are a few of the emerging standouts in the Class of 2029 that are worth keeping an eye on as they are definitely players headed in the right direction.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Remember to follow me on Instagram @Prepdigamy and Facebook @PrepDig Amy for up to date event coverage, stories, and more. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["997153"],"_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-6a348c456f393"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">I think Hynes is destined for great things. She's a taller setter who moves well, has good range, and provides real consistency for her team. She's able to reverse the ball against the flow, find her middles even when off the net, and can keep the offense balanced. She also competes well defensively. With another year of development yet before recruitment begins, </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["939371"],"_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-6a348c456f45d"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">I've been following Gaedy since I first discovered her last January and I have really enjoyed watching her progress since then. She's another complete package as a rising star true six rotation player. She's highly effective both in system and out of system, which makes her really tough to defend. On top of that, she's strong in serve receive and plays solid defense. Basically, you want her on the court or rather, you need her on the court as she brings grit, consistency, and hustle to every game.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["997188"],"_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-6a348c456f4a5"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>I watched defensive specialist VanderArk at a tournament in early March and came away impressed. She has a highly effective serve, does well in serve receive, and provides solid middle back defense. She reads the game well and continues to be a reliable presence on the court. Not only was she consistent, but she's also steady and brings a lot of value to her team. Defensive specialists don't always get a ton of recognition, but she absolutely deserves it.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["935810"],"_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-6a348c456f4ef"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Lyke is a middle with a ton of potential. What stands out right away is her ability to find good spacing and track the ball well out in front of her whether she is running the gap or the slide. She uses her strong vertical to get up and over the block, finishing with confidence. As she continues to develop and add consistency, she's definitely a player to keep an eye on moving forward.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["997193"],"_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-6a34bdfa24100"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Wiese is the complete package. She can attack from either pin at a high level, run routes into the middle, play middle herself, and even terminate out of the back row with the bic. On top of that, she's solid in serve receive and reliable on defense, which makes her a true six rotation player that you want on the court all the time as she impacts the game in so many ways. If Wiese keeps developing her game the way she has, she's going to be a big time recruit come next June 15.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->
