Is there a link where someone can see the All tournament teams?
I saw the two Harveys on the roster and was impressed by both. I didn't think they were sisters because they looked so different but the fact they are two years apart explains it better. Both awesome players.

Ranking players is never easy and it is hard to watch everyone. And when you watch a match it is a very short window. A girl that deserves a number one ranking has a bad match while you are watching and she falls outside the top ten. These players would be my top ten left sides based on what I saw at the Nationals.
1) Megan Fitch (Alamo) - A surprise winner in the Open and they could not have done it w/o her clutch hits. 2) Teraya Sigler (Storm) - A big girl that hits the ball hard, passes well and plays a good defense. 3) Mae Kordas (Wave) - Another big girl that can play six rotations well. 4) Macaria Spears (Metro) - She played at 16s and her passing was off but so explosive. Waiting for some Texas sightings. 5) Kennedi Rogers (HJV) - Probably the hardest hitter of the group. Sometimes I don't think she knew where she was hitting it. 6) Ava Poinsett (Coast) - You kind of knew where the ball was going when Coast needed a point and she still could not be stopped. 7) Jazzmine Gaston (Texas Fury) - She won the MVP in Freedom, but when I watched her play she made me go "Wow". 8) Kaci DeMaria (Surfside Legends) - Made five straight kills against big block for comeback win. Excellent back row attach. 9) Bailey Warren (H. Skyline Royal) - Really smooth at hitting out of system sets 10) Elena Fisher (Absolute) - She hit right side, left side, out of system and back row with equal skill.
Can't say I caught all the 2025s that played with the 2024s but that is my top ten.

When I include the middles she will be on the top of the list. She dominated at 17s and I was shocked to see she was 2025.

The top ten middles that impressed me (and I only wrote down ten names so it was easy to name them):
1) Taylor Harvey (Club V) - She played in 17s and still dominated. A real key in the 42-40 win over Metro 17 to get them to gold. 2) MacKenzie Collins (HJV) - She was the smaller of the HJV middles but she was the more powerful hitter with a good vertical. 3) Taryn Morris (TAV) - She really bangs the ball to the floor. 4) Natalie Wardlow (Nebraska One) - good length, was hitting shoots, quicks and slides to show off her versatility. 5) Isabelle Ehrlich (Absolute) - Got the game winning kill (15-13) to give Circle City (5-0) their first loss. A big upset at the time. 6) Daniela Rusich (Surfside) - Really good arm extension to bury balls to the floor. 7) Stella Dillon (Coast) - Big hitter with length (6'0") with good arm extension. 8) Makena Rumple (Storm) - She impressed me with a nice little cut shot that went down. 9) Jordan Taylor (HJV) - She has some great length (6'5"). Lots of potential but work needs to be done. 10) Erica Sawyer (Colorado Jrs) - She played in National but was dominant in middle putting everything she was set down.
At the beginning of the tournament the team that impressed me the most in 15 open was HJV (Houston). I thought they were going to win it, but an 18th place finish shows you how much I know. Lots of potential on that team including a 6'2" setter (Kirra Musgrove) with soft hands who will be close to the top of the setter list.

Strange move to me, that HJV 15s was loaded so wonder why the move. She also transferred from a public HS to a private HS as well.

She plays up on Dynasty 16 Black and was really good at 16 Open nationals in Indy, where they made it to the podium. She’s 6’2” and looks like she’s still growing. Her arm swing gets faster all the time and she’s becoming an outstanding blocker.

Somehow I missed her. I was impressed with Abigail Mullen (right side) and then their libero Ryan McAleer. I also noted that Skyler Pierce gets really high over the net when she blocks. The two setters Lauren Wright and Reese Messer got noted.
Don't know why I didn't notice Saida Jacobs, but that shows you how difficult it is to rank players. Just so many of them to watch. I do note in the game versus Rockwood that John Cook was watching. Perhaps Skyler was a bit nervous, but I was disappointed in her overall play. She redeemed herself in the match against Metro 16.

Looked at my notes for the Metro 16 and Dynasty game and middle Jada Ingram won that game. Still no mention of Saida Jacobs. Must have missed her.
I did note that Carlie Cisneros was a good alternative to Skyler Pierce. Looking at the all-tournament team for Dynasty it was Carly and not Skyler that made the team, along with Jada.

A 2025 who can dominate 2024’s at the highest level. She’s special.

Yes she is a great player. Her mom played volleyball and dad played quarterback for the Iowa Hawkeyes. Going to be great get for them.

Abigail Mullen (RS) and Reese Messer (S) play up on Dynasty’s 16s team and are the number 1 team in the country, favored to win Nationals. They are both crazy good. I imagine they will be top 5 picks for 2025. Co-sign Resse Messer as top 5 in this class. Saw her at the USC Prospect camp recently. Hard to put into words how good she is, but the only way you could tell she was a camper and not the setter for USC was that she looks her age 15.

Madison Quest is a 2025 6-rotation outside hitter from the Milwaukee Sting 16-Gold team. She's very impressive! She just attended Nebraska's Dream Team camp last week and also attended the WI camp after nationals. She is definitely one to watch next season!
