Who are some noteworthy recruiting classes to know in this group? </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Momentum for Northwestern! </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>This is a high impact class for Northwestern as they are bringing in four nationally ranked athletes that include Stella Delgadillo and Makenna Barnes from California along with Isabella Stojkovic from Arizona and Miranda Knoll from Florida. This is a complete class with all of these athletes seeing plenty of success on the club courts and could make an immediate impact. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Commits Stay Close To Home</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Brynn Stephens is solid get for SMU where she will stay in the Dallas area and compete for one of the top programs in the country. Another local prospect staying close to home is Reagan Wallraff who has been one of the top players out of Nebraska and will play for Creighton. UCLA and USC were able to keep some of the top players close to home in Westley Matavao who was extremely successful for Forza1North and Mater Dei while McKenna McIntosh headlines the class for USC.
