Over the next two weeks we’ll be wrapping up our coverage of the 2022-23 season by releasing our Club All-Americans, final National Rankings and updated Player Rankings. Up first is the 2023 17s Club All-Americans. The division was overflowing with talent and in making the selections we focused on the entirety of the season. It’s part of what goes into compiling our All-American awards.
While everything is subjective, the factors we weighed in determining the list – which features 24 First Team All-Americans plus Honorable Mentions – include individual talent, impact on the team and overall team success throughout the club season. Future potential or eventual collegiate impact have no bearing on the award. We only factored in what happened during the most recent club season. With so many talented players scattered across the nation, finalizing an award list like this has its challenges. Everyone who deserves recognition cannot be included and our awards are certainly not an end-all, be-all list. Unfortunately, even with 24 First-Team All-Americans plus Honorable Mentions, deserving players will be left off. Ultimately, we recognize who we felt were most deserving based on the factors discussed above.
Congrats to this year’s vballrecruiter.com’s Club All-Americans!
