That's often how it works out. Just meant she was already committed to Stanford for a bit, not sure why PVB doesn't have it listed since she announced it a few months ago I just made the change after confirming the commitment. The bottom line is I won't guess. So unless someone tells me...

Endsley is very hyped up in the club world, hype she deserves. Multiple times per set she crushes the ball and is pretty consistent. I don't know how she will turn out in college but she is a top OH in this class. No has mentioned shaffmaster who I'm sure will go top 10, even though I don't agree with it Endlsey is surely a top OH for her age, no doubt about that, but I do think ceiling and movement will keep her lower in the rankings then you think if it’s a question of college potential. We will know in a week or so! She hits a very heavy ball, like Lund at Pitt, but I agree about her agility.

Just looking at the first 20 Senior Aces announced, the conference breakdown looks like:
ACC - 3 B1G - 4 CUSA - 1 Big East - 2 SEC - 3 Pac 12 - 3 Big West - 2 WCC - 2
I think. Someone please correct me if I'm wrong - I sometimes get my WCC vs Big West schools confused!
No rising like a rocket observed as of yet, but there's plenty of countdown left ....

81, 82, 83, 84, 86, 87, & 90 were not among the top 100 Juniors. That means at least 4 of the available top 100 will not be in the Top 110.

By my count, 15 of the 100 juniors recognized last year, between the top 50 and the next 50, are not among the top 100. That includes three, Bower, Rath and Drewnick, who skipped their senior year and one, Hodel, who is beach only.

If my math is right, then: 7 more in the top 100 will miss along with 4 mentioned above and the 4 that went in 101-110. That leaves 3 open spots for players that were not a part of the Junior top 100.

If we go with the 20 listed and the 84 left from the Top 100 Juniors (of which only 77 of them will make it) - this would be the number of players by conference. No surprise - the Big Ten continues to recruit well.
B1G - 28 SEC - 15 ACC - 14 PAC - 14 Big 12 - 8 WCC - 6 N/A - 5 Big West - 4 Big East - 3 Ivy - 2 Atlantic 10 - 1 C USA - 1 MVC - 1 MWC - 1 Sun Belt - 1

4 of the 20 so far are from the Kansas City area. There are potentially 3 more coming. This isn't to the level of 2016 for KC, but still a pretty strong class for KC.

The top 25 was pretty much revealed, in the USA Today, article last week, when they chose the All American Team.

What does a high school preseason all American list have to do with the 2020 senior aces? I mean, even just looking at the players who finished the HS season All Americans from the same publication last year, many were not top 25 senior aces. Vach, Ashburn, Berty, Hannah, Holzman, Moore, Morris, Boyd, Frohling, Shields....and that doesn't even count the liberos. I'm sure there are plenty of players on that preseason publication for high school that will be high senior aces. But that list surely is not definitive for anything other than the impact players on the impact teams for the high school season.

Does anyone think its a little early to be seeing #89? She was out for a huge part of her 16s season and the beginning of her 17s season with injury but looked very very good at junior nationals and aaus.
