Continue ReadingWe have added over 20 new players to the 2023 Prep Dig State Rankings from our inaugural list in March. We have not written about these next athletes yet, but we are excited to introduce them with their official number attached to their name. We will be doing this over the course of the week and we hope that you join us in celebrating these young ladies for all of their hard work. They went from unranked to bursting onto the scene very quickly. Without further ado…here are three of the newest members of the top ranked athletes in the State of Texas.
Brooke Bentke Brooke Bentke 6'2" | OH Brenham | 2023 State #112 Nation TX [2023] 6-2 Outside (HS: Brenham/Club: Woodlands Revolution)
We would like to officially introduce Brooke Bentke Brooke Bentke 6'2" | OH Brenham | 2023 State #112 Nation TX as the 25th ranked prospect in the State of Texas according to our Prep Dig Rankings in the class of 2023. She is a lengthy six rotation pin hitter who is the “go-to” scorer for her talented Woodlands Revolution club squad. She can light it up with the best of them as she scores at will in a variety of ways. Most players at this age, need almost a perfect set to score. Not Brooke. When the set is inside or off, she can still adjust her approach accordingly and still have the timing to hit with power. She can find the hole in the block, she can swing around it and go line, and she has so much power that she can tool the block at will. Standing at six foot two, she is a towering presence at the net against her opponents. For most tall blockers, they don’t load up much to jump and block. My favorite thing about Brooke is how she still bends her knees and loads up so much to block. This tells me that she has a passion for the game that not many have. Brooke has the potential to move up our rankings very rapidly if she stays on her course. We cannot wait to see how she does in her high school varsity season.
Rylee Busse Rylee Busse 5'10" | OH Cornerstone Christian | 2023 State TX [2023] 5-10 Outside (HS: Cornerstone Christian/Club: Alamo/Verbal: Uncommitted)
We would like to officially welcome Riley Busse to the State Rankings by announcing that she is the 55th top prospect in the State of Texas. Rylee plays for a great club program in her Alamo club out of San Antonio. She is a six rotation outside hitter who can dig in the back row and hit out of both sides of the court. She has a great motor and transitions out of the play well eager to get the set. She is quick to her touch point and then drives hard to the ball. She opens up her body very well to the ball in order to hit with maximum torque. Then she explodes on the ball with great power for her size. She also has the ability to go line and tool when she needs to in order to score. She plays for a great private school program out of north San Antonio at Cornerstone Christian. We can’t wait to see how much she progresses in the sport as she has a high ceiling to improve.
Emma Patmon Emma Patmon 5'8" | OH Cedar Ridge | 2023 State TX [2023] 5-8 Outside (HS: Cedar Ridge/Club: Austin Skyline)
We are excited to officially announce that Emma Patmon Emma Patmon 5'8" | OH Cedar Ridge | 2023 State TX has earned the honor of being the 66th ranked prospect in the State of Texas in the 2023 class according to Prep Dig. She has burst on the scene but we think she has a bright future ahead of her. Players like Emma are why I love to coach the game. She plays the way it was meant to be played. Emma has more heart and determination than a lot of players I have seen. She is a smaller player in size but don’t let that fool you, because this young lady can FLY on the court. And when she is in the air you will be wowed by how much power she possses. Emma will slide up our rankings soon as she has promised me that she is going to work hard on her vertical this coming year. Her stats speak for themselves and she has a very high ceiling as she is under the direction of great club director Jenny Luke and assistant club director Jenny Phillips at her Austin Skyline program. She can do it all. She plays exceptional defense in he back row and covers so much ground due to her quick feet. I absolutely love her motor and can’t wait to watch her high school season and see how far she moves up our rankings. Keep your eye on this young lady as she will be a great find for a college program in the next few years.
