Just wanted to see how other people think the top 5/top 10 will stack up in this years class. There are some obvious stars, but it can be hard to rank them, as some have been playing up as well. Here is my best guess at the top 10 right now.
1. Luke Benson-OH-Legacy-BYU 2. Owen Birg-S/Opp-MB Surf-UCSB 3. Klistan Lawrence-Opp-352-LBSU 4. Ben Coordt-OH-Rockstar-UCSB 5. Gabe Dyer-S/Opp-Balboa-Unknown 6. Noah Keelin-OH-949-USC 7. Kade McGovern-OH/Opp-SG-Harvard 8. Brendan Read-L-Balboa-Pepperdine 9. Cooper Robinson-OH-SCVC-UCLA 10. Austin Stuard-L-Rockstar-USC
I am sure I am missing a ton of players, plus because JO's didn't happen last year I don't know that much about what happened outside of the JBI and other Cali tournaments, so if there are midwest and east coast players that are good that I missed, feel free to mention them. These are just guys I have watched, and they are all really good. I put in lots of pins because that is how the list always is for volleyballmag, but if I missed a really good middle or some setters, post them in.

Solid choices, all of them have an argument to be in it. Notable recruits can be Troy McDonald, Luke McFall, Grant Strong. I would love to hear about other recruits.

Not necessarily top 10 guys but I can see Jonah Gilbert and cole young(6’8 MB committed to OSU) out of Vanguard on that list.

OPP from Florida club 352 headed to CSuLB. Likely starting opp on YNT in his age group, best in class physically with a high ceiling.

Jonah Gilbert one of the best players in the 2021 class and he still hasn't committed yet which is odd. Mans is a top 20 player easily in the 2021 class.

Actually Luke Benson is the best in the class physically. I have seen some players contend physically with Klistan, such as Dillon Klein, but as far as I have seen, Luke Benson jumps just as high and hits harder, and I don't think I have ever seen him play against someone as physical as him, he just makes a lot of errors sometimes.

Kid is beast, would’ve loved to see Benson play in his age group for his 18s year... well in person of course

Luke is a high flier for sure, I haven't seen either play in person for a year and only Luke on video recently but I go with Klistan for most physical by a little, he looks taller to me with higher reach and hits a higher ball more consistently, Luke will bounce more which is impressive. If anyone knows standing and jumping reach #s for these two please share.

If anyone knows standing and jumping reach #s for these two please share. I think Klistan actually hits surprisingly low for someone who touches so high. Benson gets so high over the net, but honestly as far as hitting skill, there are many people better than these 2 IMO. They just have raw physical ability. This is obviously super premature, but they are big enough and athletic enough to play overseas and potentially on the national team one day, as is Owen Birg, whereas most of the other top guys aren't quite that large although who knows.

I can appreciate someone that is trying to contribute to the discussion on the board like the person who created this thread, but you're not doing that with your comment.
