You’ve put in the work. The early mornings, the reps, the grind nobody sees. 🏐
But here’s the hard truth: the best academic programs in the country can’t recruit what they can’t see. And right now, too many of the smartest, most talented players are flying completely under the ...radar.
If you’re chasing the top schools in the country — the ones with a 4–9% acceptance rate — that ends today.
This watchlist was built to put YOU in front of those coaches. To make sure the school that could change the entire trajectory of your life finally knows your name.
To apply, here’s what it takes:
✅ 3+ AP classes by the time you graduate
✅ 3.7 GPA minimum
If that’s you, we want to hear from you and evaluate you for the list — personally.
It publishes this week and goes to college coaches on the 13th. After that, the door is closed until next season.
Don’t let this be the opportunity you scrolled past.
Comment ACADEMIC and we’ll send you the link. 👇

Every volleyball mom goes through all 4 stages. Every. Single. Time. 😂
Stage 1: The Silent Cheerleader — aggressively mouthing “SMILE” from across the room.
Stage 2: The Panic — athlete says “I don’t know” and mom’s soul leaves her body.
Stage 3: The Teleprompter — ...frantically holding up handwritten answers like a one-woman sideline coach.
Stage 4: The Takeover — “Hi Coach, WE have questions about the scholarship.”
Sound familiar? 👇 Comment JUNE15 and I’ll send you the link to my FREE prep series so your athlete actually knows what to say before the phone rings.
Tag a volleyball mom who has been ALL of these. 👇
