Introducing the Class of 2025 State Rankings
We are super excited for this update. It has been in the works for quite some time as we gathered tons of data on each athlete. A lot of time has been spent on making sure the information is as accurate as we can get it. Our scouts spent tons of time in the gym watching the players and analyzing their skills. Our strong suggestion is to upload as much film online as possible so that college scouts can see each player and evaluate them. This also helps our scouts keep up with your progress and accurately rank you. In this initial roll out of the 2025 class, we have added 35 amazing players to the list. There are tons more that we are evaluating to add in our next update. We will be posting tons of articles on these players now that they are ranked and will be sharing them via Twitter. If you do not have a Twitter account, we STRONGLY suggest you get one because that is where a lot of college coaches are reading about athletes.
We love what we do and are always looking to learn more about the athletes we currently have on our list and also ones that aren’t on it yet. The best way for me to learn is for you to talk to me about them. I love interacting with our readers and am so appreciative of those who direct message me on Twitter, by phone, and by email. Please do not hesitate to contact me with information via email, social media, or in person if you see me out at a tourney. I have tons of players, coaches, and parents who message me and keep me updated with new information on their seasons/training/tournaments. So many wonderful parents, coaches and players have reached out to me in person at tournaments also. We hope you are enjoying our website. Thank you for reading!
I often get asked what goes into the ranking process. Well here is how I am going about it. I stay connected to the volleyball scene as much as I can. We speak to hundreds of club and high school coaches, club directors, and college coaches across the entire state to gather as much information as possible on each athlete. We study tournaments entered and tournament finishes. We study high schools, preseason lists, and awards given to athletes from the state of Oklahoma high school systems, coaches associations and club awards. We have been watching a lot of awesome club volleyball tournaments in person and also have been watching hours of game footage and highlight reels as possible. The more film you have online, the better the research and analyzing of skills I can do to make the ranking as accurate as I can. You are more than welcome to tag us on social media or send us emails with updates to your film. It is also a great idea to keep updating it so that you can keep getting more exposure to college coaches. They are watching too.
The other question I get often from parents and players is “Is it 100 accurate?” The short answer is no. However, we are putting a lot of hours and hard work into trying to get it as accurate as we can. With over 23 years of analyzing players and college recruiting, it is still a difficult task to get it perfect. The fact that we must take multiple things into consideration and understanding that everyone is entitled to their opinion, has allowed me to be content with how we are going about it. While we know that it is not an exact science, we are very confident in the hard work that is going into analyzing each player and the overall ranking process.
We hope you are as excited as we are about our coverage of the wonderful Sooner State volleyball players. We super excited to introduce this class and in the following weeks we will unveil updates to the other classes.
