2029 Watchlist Pins Part II

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>We have started the 2029 watchlist! First off, many more names will be added as the club season progresses. The players on the current list have made it for a handful of reasons: Strong freshman seasons on the varsity level, postseason recognition, involvement with the national pipeline, and 14s club season play. Today, we take a look at some of the pins you'll want to get to know.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:heading {"level":3} --> <h3 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>Audrey McCoy – 5'10 OH – Clinton</strong></h3> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Explosive off one foot, McCoy is a pure point-scorer who can flip momentum with one rotation.
