Who are players that all college coaches should be giving a legitimate shot to in the class of 2028? We have the answer in our Official Watch List. We have scoured the entire state to bring to you players who deserve to have a shot to be recruited by scouts and college coaches all across the nation. This article series will be highlighting them and what they bring to the table. Let's get to know some sensational setters who are listed and why.    [player_tooltip player_id='519201' first='Kaylieana' last='Dickey'] is a Class of 2028 setter from Lake Belton High School in Belton and [program_tooltip program_id='431319' first='Texas' last='Fury Volleyball Club']. Stepping into a big role as a sophomore and being tasked with continuing the offensive identity of a team that has become one of the most competitive programs in Central Texas is not a small ask, and the fact that she has been handed those keys tells you the coaching staff's confidence in her is genuine. At 5'9" she brings above-average height to the setter position and the physical tools to deliver from a release point that gives her hitters clean information on every set. Her footwork and court presence are developing under the kind of daily pressure that produces setters who are not rattled by big moments. She continues to deliver the ball to all of her hitters with precise location and that will make each one of them better. There is no doubt that she is a great leader who will make great decisions and lead this team to tons of wins and solid moments. Please help us congratulate her on earning a spot on our Official Watch List.     [player_tooltip player_id='577272' first='Bailey' last='Gonzalez'] is a Class of 2028 setter and multi-position player from Barbers Hill High School and XCEL Volleyball Club. Standing at 5'9" with the positional versatility to play setter, opposite, and outside hitter within the same competition setting, she gives any system a flexibility that is genuinely rare to find at this stage of development. The volleyball IQ it takes to understand the game from multiple positions simultaneously is not something that can be manufactured, and the fact that she has developed those skills at a club program with coaches who have played and coached at the college level tells you the training environment is accelerating her growth in the right direction. This young lady can flat out ball and she shows it with every match she plays in. Her hands are very soft and produce repeatable sets that just float out of her release so effortlessly. We will continue to monitor her progress and think she deserves some looks at the next level. Please help us congratulate her on earning a spot on our Official Watch List.     [player_tooltip player_id='570534' first='Payton' last='Tompkins'], a Class of 2028 setter and defensive specialist from Cypress Ranch High School and her club program, brings a two-position skill set to the game that makes her value to any roster considerably broader than a single-function setter. At 5'5" she plays with the quickness and floor presence that the back row demands, and she can also serve as a reliable back row defensive option when the system calls for it, which means a college staff never has to sacrifice defense when she is in a back row rotation. Her setting mechanics and distribution ability reflect a player who has put in position-specific work rather than simply being an athlete assigned to the role, and the composure she plays with running the offense under pressure is a quality that develops through real varsity competition rather than just practice reps. Payton is a versatile, cerebral 2028 prospect who is worth a college coach's full attention. Please help us congratulate her on earning a spot on our Official Watch List.
