The RISERS: Prospects that made moves and watched their PPV's rise because of it

The RISERS- Athletes Making Moves UP the PPV Charts 

​

​

Piper Pease - OPP 2028 Cornerstone Christian - 

Pease has received a 5 point increase recently after her strong start to the prep season. She continues to show herself as one of the top opposites in this class of 2028. Power and the height that she is playing at are both impressive parts of the game for Pease.

​

Finley Krystowiak - OH 2026 Torrey Pines Penn State

Shocking I know, I would be at an event that Krystowiak is and she would leave with a higher PPV, but it shows two things. First how low everyone originally had her a couple of years ago and how much she has worked, improved and started to develop into that big-time P4 commit body (aka “high-ceiling”) and second it is refreshing when I talk with her because she “gets it” and is wise beyond her years with volleyball and understanding the college landscape and is prepared. Her play was very solid and just the overall athleticism she plays with now, especially in open space looks more like a P4 star. So yes she did climb higher. She’s going to have to battle at PSU, but she will.

​

Tessa Larkin - OH 2027 Xavier, AZ/Minnesota commit

So dominating and playing with a young team. Everyone in the gym knew the ball was going to Tessa and she still terminated at a high success rate. After watching Cook’s first crew of recruits play some this season Larkin fits the mold, but more powerful and explosive. She’s the one in this class that everyone always wants to overlook for one reason or another, but she was dominant and STEADY again last weekend. Just what you want in a franchise type player. She is that.

​

Alyssa James - OH 2028 Tribe Volleyball

James was recognized as an All-American this summer during AAU Nationals for Tribe volleyball, helping to increase her PPV overall.

​

Olivia Greenwood - Opposite - 2027 WAVE Volleyball and Cathedral Catholic High School

Greenwood recently announced her commitment to attend Rice for her college career. The WAVE star has attended NTDP and was in action for her high school at Durango last weekend. Greenwood quietly evaluated out as one of the top 5-7 Opposites in the entire class and Rice is getting the gem of their class with her.

​

Ireland Real - Outside 2027 - WAVE Volleyball

This is not breaking news by any means, but congrats once again as Ireland Real our overall #1 PPV prospect in the Class of 2027 verbally committed to the Texas Longhorns two weeks ago. The California native is a Diamond Level prospect and received a slight bump after the verbal commitment.

​

Klarke Mosby - 1st Alliance 2027 - Opposite

The 1st Alliance Opposite committed to Eastern Michigan recently joining two of her club teammates.

​

Deiliah Roman - 1st Alliance 2027 - Outside

Roman also committed to Eastern Michigan with her teammate Mosby. The duo will make up the new pin combo at Eastern for the 2027 class.

​

Willtrace Ngoh - Houston Jrs 2027 - Middle

The fast rising prospect out of Houston ended her lengthy recruiting process and gave her commitment to USC this week. Ngoh had been offered by half of the SEC and several other top schools during her recruitment and has so much upside to her game. The verbal is just as big for the Trojans as Willtrace is USC’s 2nd Top 50 prospect of the ’27 Class. We feel you can look for Ngoh to end up a Gold Level Prospect by the time this class heads off to college as her game continues to get better and better.

​

Hailey Cruz - MAVS Volleyball Class of 2027

Cruz had her PPV over all rise 27 total points as her block touch registered a 9.5 on the TOP score charts. Cruz has her physical numbers in place as she continues to send out film looking for that fit to connect with during club season.

​

Alexandra Klein - Deer Park High School Class of 2027 

Playing for Deer Park this Houston area libero earned All-Tourney recognition in their recent prep tourney and her play on the court earned her a PPV raise as well.

​

Elle Vandeweghe - Marymount High Class of ’26, SMU commit - Middle

Force all weekend long in Vegas. Elle was a constant at getting touches and taking away hitting angles of some of the best attackers in the country. She moved so well from a year ago and athletic. More than enough to deserve a raise in overall evaluation score.

​

McKenna McIntosh - Sierra Canyon Class of ’27, USC Commit - Outside

I have always thought one of the more impressive things to do is stand out on a team of superstars, but that is what I felt McIntosh did last weekend in Vegas, but again not in a selfish demanding way, in her confident and quiet way, but was super effective when given her opportunities. She also contributed with her steady defensive skills so was always involved, to be the go-to on the squad is saying something, but it appears she clearly is.

​

Kendall Omoryuri - Sierra Canyon Class of ’27, Nebraska Commit - Middle

I wrote about this for the Husker fan page so won’t elaborate, but that was as intense as I have seen Kendall ever play and that takes her talent to a whole new place! Cool to see and took her PPV back to Diamond Level.

​

Vanna Wagner - Cheyenne, WY Class of ’29 Libero

Ended her summer attending an invite only select camp prior to her WY High School season.

​

Izzie Penrose and Deviryn McCarty both 2028s who received their first invites to attend the NTDP Training Experience this December in CO. Both had exceptional club campaigns and were mentioned often by our coverage as two to watch in the deepest class of bros ever.

​

Keep watching for more risers as we head through high school season and increase our workload watching more and more athletes.
