Continue ReadingWe bring our attention back to the Rising Sophomore class of 2023. We will continue to help get exposure to those that deserve it through their efforts to improve on the court. We have been very active in communicating with College Recruiting Directors all over the state so that we can bring the best to the eyes of the college coaches we have in our database that read our articles. I have spoken to many of them and they are extremely excited about this 2023 class. It is never too early to get exposure. So without further ado, here are a few of the standouts from the 2023 class that I have not written about yet.
Sophia Luo Sophia Luo 6'0" | RS Westlake | 2023 State TX [2023] 6-0 Right Side (HS: Westlake/Club: Austin Performance/ Verbal: Uncommitted)
Sophia is the 16th ranked prospect in the 2023 Class according to our Prep Dig State Rankings. She is a very talented right side who plays for two great programs in Austin Westlake HS and Austin Performance Volleyball Club. She reaches high on her block and her attack to get maximum height. She shows a lot of promise on her offense by moving the ball around and scoring on all areas of the court. She can hit deep corners well on her cross court shot and use her upper body well to hit line on the pins. Her club team was extremely talented last year and we are looking forward to seeing how she progresses in the coming years. I like how she uses her arms on her upswing to add as many inches as she can on her vertical during her attack. She is pretty quick off of the ground with her footwork. She shows good bounce which will help her as she grows in the game.
Macy Taylor Macy Taylor 5'10" | OH Sachse | 2023 State TX [2023] 5-10 Outside (HS: Sachse/Club: Dallas Premier/Verbal: Uncommitted)
Miss Taylor comes in as the 44th ranked prospect in the 2023 Class according to our Prep Dig State Rankings. This six rotation outside hitter has ball control for days. She can place the volleyball anywhere she wants to offensively. It is definitely a sight to see as she paints the line with ease routinely. The ability to do this at this age is fantastic for a coach to watch. She shows a lot of promise to become a great player moving forward throughout the years. I love how deep she gets at her left side touch point so she can get as much momentum behind her four step approach to help her vertical. Macy definitely has great offensive ball control but she can unload when she wants to. Her power is a little surprising when she swings hard cross. You don’t really expect her size to unleash that much power but its there and it is fun to watch. Give this young lady a look or two and you wont be disappointed.
Katie Hill Katie Hill 5'10" | MB Reagan | 2023 State TX [2023] 5-10 Middle/Outside (HS: SA Reagan/Club: SA Magic/Verbal: Uncommitted)
Katie comes in as the 45th ranked prospect in the 2023 Class according to our Prep Dig State Rankings. She is a very skilled and lengthy middle who has a very high ceiling in the position. I love her motor and how athletic she is. She possesses a lightning quick arm swing and a snap that send the ball with some serious pop to her opponents. She can run every route in the middle position with speed. When I watch her play, I see so much potential. I love her posture at the net and how she reads the play on the other side to set up her block. She is a swing-blocking middle with great timing. Katie plays at a great high school program in Reagan and will no doubt help them succeed this year as they have a very talented team. When the new rankings come out in late October/early November, Katie will likely move up the rankings.
