For a Nebraska volleyball fan, please don’t ever entertain a thought of leaving Volleytalk. You are a godsend for accurate, up-to-date recruiting information. Today’s input reinforces the recruiting information of 3 or 4 months ago. I didn’t know a thing about #20 till today so again you and other Nebraska insiders, thanks! #20 will be ranked a lot higher by the time she’s a senior. Huge upside, and everyone wants her. Yeah, she's a good one. Staying within Nebraska, I'm also happy to see #41 get some recognition. Super athletic.

Can someone please tell me Where Jordyn Harvey lies on the list? #13 Slightly underrated in my opinion. High flier with a cannon arm swing.

Slightly underrated in my opinion. High flier with a cannon arm swing. It is all sort of relative, many of the girls could justifiably be moved up or down across the list. Jordyn (#13) is a stud. Since this is my DDs year, I have seen most of these girls play for the last several years.

The 2024 list came out this week. Props to the 12 Kansas City players on the list (1 of them from Topeka). That follows 11 on the 2023 list. 23 players combined for 2023-24 from Kansas City is more than any other state except Texas (50) and California (33).
Florida comes in next with 19, followed with Michigan (18) and Ohio (15). Kansas has 16 to go along with 7 from Missouri that are from Kansas City (5 from St. Louis on the Missouri side).

Carlson, J.Myrick, K.Edson, O.Hasbrook, C.Morrissey.

Where does Durham rank? OH from Dublin Ohio.
Really good player that is "followed" by all the top programs.

These lists' are getting as bad as AAU Basketball and EYBL... Top PG in class of 2034.... BS like that.... let the kids at least play one day of high school before making the All-time team etc.

These lists' are getting as bad as AAU Basketball and EYBL... Top PG in class of 2034.... BS like that.... let the kids at least play one day of high school before making the All-time team etc. The 2023's had an entire school season including playoffs and championships. Several c/o 2023 players were varsity starters for their HS teams, and have verifiable stats as well as film. Club season was cut short. Presumably, this is why PrepVolleyball ranked half of the 150, and left the other half unranked.
The 2024's haven't had a school season yet, but most if not all have had at least one or more club seasons. Further, the 2024's listed on PV were not ranked - they are simply on a watch list.
According to the PV article about how they determine who to name to the list and how to rank:
"We consider her personal skill and athletic ability, personal and team accolades, a player’s mention on other lists (ours and other organizations), and what other coaches have to say about her."

I was a bit surprised when I saw the ranking too. I am certain it has to be tough to rank kids at any given time. Especially across positions. I saw her play many times over the last few years with the top USA Teams along with most of these other top girls. I just got drawn to watching her energy and it was fun to watch. There was a lot of subtle things that she did so well. She was able to pass with tempo that allowed the offense to run very quickly, often so fast that a block couldn't get in place. Match that with the excellent setting and hitting and it's lethal. Based on her standing with USA Volleyball and the rumored schools recruiting her I think the coaches know how good she is and will be. I think she only played in 1 or 2 tournaments this year so that could be part of it too. We'll see what happens from here on out.

Agree - Although the lists are interesting and bring some semblance of organization and recognition to the top players in each class, coaches know how good players actually are regardless of PV rankings and they have their own criteria for who they decide to pursue in terms of scholarship offers. For most of these players, an offer from a college team is the ultimate goal, not landing the #1 ranking spot on PV.
