Updated to reflect Ndiaya to Penn State. The top 4 16u teams met in the final four of the JVA West Coast Cup on Monday. The finals included Ndiaye, A. Smith, L. Smith and Miller, along with earlier commits Williams (Texas), Flickinger (LSU), Allen (BYU) and Endsley (Nebraska, out with sprained ankle). Leilah Smith played MB, not RS. I'm not sure where these heights came from, but Smith and Miller are each a solid 2-3 inches taller than their heights on this list. Smith looks 6'5". Others playing but not on this list included 6'6" RS Crouch, 6'3" RS Kjolhede and 6'4" MB Blackwell. It was a big, physical match-up for 16u. Do any of these clubs post video from their matches online? I’d love to see the level some of these teams are playing at!

Have seen nothing about Leilah Smith out there. I'm sure she has plenty of options, though.

When you're recruiting 13, 14, 15 year olds, you're looking for one thing: physicality. The skills obviously won't all be there that early. There are a lot of kids that clearly project with potential early because of their build, length, height, coordination, etc. There are others that experience those physical developments and growth later in their prep career. There are lots of examples of diamonds and duds in both categories. I always use the eldest two Haggerties for this example. As high schoolers, they were so dominant because they were so physically mature for their ages and compared to the other kids in their classes, so everyone was recruiting the hell out of them when they were young. Then, the rest of their class starts to catch up physically, and all of a sudden, the Haggerties aren't as dominant anymore. Still good players, but hardly the game-changers they were expected to be. If you followed Meghan's career at Nebraska or Maddie's career everywhere, you can see that. They just never got better after their 16s years. Just because one kid was recruited as a freshman doesn't mean that a physically-similar senior athlete won't be valuable or recruitable. In fairness to Maddie... she's been injured forever. We don't know how she will perform a MSU. Meghan was also injury prone, still really good for college, but yea just didn't have much more to go. She says she became a really good blocker while at NU from her club days. Sounds like Sun

I can't even imagine the level of VB fandom one must achieve in order for any of these "club" names to mean anything.

Is the ND kid who is uncommitted going to play VB or Basketball? She is the 38th best basketball player in the country.

Looking at a high level picture of recruiting for 2018-2020 (last three years) and seeing if I am seeing any surprises. Taking the Senior aces for 2018 and 2019 and the Junior rankings for 2020. Separating between T50 and T100. I may have missed a couple that decommitted and or transferred.
Here the schools with the most Top 50 recruits:
10: Penn State 9: Stanford 7: Nebraska 6: Florida, Oregon, Texas 5: Michigan, Purdue, BYU, North Carolina, Ohio State, Washington, Kentucky, Minnesota, UCLA, Wisconsin, 4: USC, TCU 3: Kansas, Creighton, Kansas State, Auburn 2: Notre Dame, Louisville, LSU, Michigan State, Texas A&M, Illinois, Northwestern, Utah
And here are # of Top 100:
12: Penn State 10: Stanford, Michigan, Purdue 9: Nebraska, Florida, Oregon, Kansas, Notre Dame 8: BYU 7: North Carolina, Ohio State, Washington, USC 6: Texas, Kentucky, Minnesota, UCLA, TCU, Louisville 5: Wisconsin, LSU, Michigan State, Texas A&M, Arizona, Maryland 4: Creighton, Kansas State, Illinois, Northwestern, Colorado, Tennessee 3: Auburn, Utah, Duke, Florida State, Iowa State, LBSU, Arkansas, Georgia, Pittsburgh
