<p>The Warriors open the second round by taking Vellucci, a 2023 standout that can bring the heat at the net, but is also an elite passer in the back row.</p>
<p><strong> 2. Tigers select [player_tooltip player_id="24851" first="Brooklyn" last="Conner"], 2022 MB Forest Hills Central/MVA</strong></p>
<p>The Tigers add a 6'3” middle that is a prime Division 1 prospect because of her size and athleticism. Conner is a player teams have to game plan for.</p>
<p><strong> 3. Bulldogs select [player_tooltip player_id="24843" first="Cari" last="Bohm"], 2022 MB Skyline/Legacy</strong></p>
<p>Another talented 2022 middle, Bohm stands 6'4” but has the mobility and court vision of an outside. She's constantly improving and will be a real force for any team she's on.</p>
<p><strong> 4. Eagles select [player_tooltip player_id="66325" first="Abigail" last="Reck"], 2023 MB Northville/Legacy</strong></p>
<p>Reck is a talented middle with a very high finishing rate. She knows where the play is heading and shuts the door on her opponents when her number is called.</p>
<p><strong> 5. Falcons select [player_tooltip player_id="66328" first="Ava" last="Sarafa"], 2023 S Marian/Michigan Elite</strong></p>
<p>Sarafa is a great floor general for the Falcons to go with. She's got the confidence, the athleticism and the passion to be truly great.</p>
<p><strong> 6. Wildcats select [player_tooltip player_id="66313" first="Erin" last="Kline"], 2023 S Mercy/Legacy</strong></p>
<p>Kline may have the most upside of any setter in the state. The 6'1” Kline has tremendous technique to pair with unique size at the position. Very well-coached, Kline has all the tools.</p>
<p><strong> 7. Bears select [player_tooltip player_id="24852" first="Jada" last="Divita"], 2022 OH Grosse Pointe South/Legacy</strong></p>
<p>DiVita has made big strides in her game over recent years and proving she can be a six-rotation player capable of leading a team to success.</p>
<p><strong> 8. Broncos select [player_tooltip player_id="66316" first="Remi" last="Madison"], 2023 OH Grand Blanc/Michigan Elite</strong></p>
<p>Madison has a lot of explosion in her game. She doesn't have the size as some of the other hitters drafted, but she can hold her own with anyone.</p>
<p><strong> 9. Lions select [player_tooltip player_id="24877" first="Sarah" last="Sylvester"], 2022 MB Marian/Michigan Elite</strong></p>
<p>The 6'3” middle has really good footwork, being a multi-sport athlete. She really has brought a lot out of her game in the last year.</p>
<p><strong> 10. Cougars select [player_tooltip player_id="60832" first="Amanda" last="Glanton"], 2022 MB Davison/Michigan Elite</strong></p>
<p>Another towering middle goes in the second round. Glanton stands 6'4” and has quick reactions at the net with her blocking.</p>
<h4><strong>Third Round</strong></h4>
<p><strong> 1. Cougars select [player_tooltip player_id="110292" first="Zoey" last="Dood"], 2024 S Grandville/MVA</strong></p>
<p>The first player from the Class of 2024 is selected in Zood, a 6'1” setter with a wealth of upside. She can reach 7'11” and jump 10 feet. Dood looks like she will be one of the next great setters in the state.</p>
<p><strong> 2. Lions select [player_tooltip player_id="24875" first="Karlee" last="Stoll"], 2022 S Anchor Bay/Legacy</strong></p>
<p>A great leader on the floor, Stoll's energy and confidence allow her to be a great court general for any team.</p>

<p><strong>3. Broncos select [player_tooltip player_id="66296" first="Skylar" last="Bump"], 2023 S Lakewood/FaR Out</strong></p>
<p>The run on setters continues with Bump, a battle-tested setter that knows how to help her hitters succeed. Bump sets a great ball and is able to make the tough sets from anywhere on the floor.</p>
<p><strong> 4. Bears select [player_tooltip player_id="66291" first="Laurece" last="Abraham"], MB Country Day/Legacy</strong></p>
<p>Abraham has been able to rise to the occasion for her prep and club teams, both of which feature a wealth of hitting talent. She's growing in confidence and is a power arm that's a handful to deal with.</p>
<p><strong> 5. Wildcats select [player_tooltip player_id="66303" first="Paige" last="Giehtbrock"], 2023 OH Clarkston/Michigan Elite</strong></p>
<p>Giehtbrock really emerged in the last year and proved she can do it all. She hits, she passes, she defends, she serves.</p>
<p><strong> 6. Falcons select [player_tooltip player_id="24876" first="Emily" last="Struckmeyer"], 2022 MB Lowell/FaR Out</strong></p>
<p>Struckmeyer stepped up her game last year and proved to be a strong finisher from the middle. However, she also has a great defensive game with her blocking and digging ability.</p>
<p><strong> 7. Eagles select [player_tooltip player_id="24861" first="Kimani" last="Johnson"], 2022 RS Cass Tech/Michigan Elite</strong></p>
<p>Johnson has all the tools you can ask for. She's long (6'3”), athletic and instinctive with her play. She's a great compliment to any outside hitter.</p>
<p><strong> 8. Bulldogs select [player_tooltip player_id="24835" first="Kendyl" last="Andrews"], 2022 S Flushing/Michigan Elite</strong></p>
<p>Andrews is able to move on the floor really well and communicate effectively with her teammates. Any offense with Andrews in it will run smoothly.</p>
<p><strong> 9. Tigers select [player_tooltip player_id="24842" first="Josie" last="Bloom"], 2022 L/DS Notre Dame Prep/Michigan Elite</strong></p>
<p>Bloom is the first primary defender selected, and with good reason. Very well-coached, Bloom has the quiet calm and poise you need in the back row.</p>
<p><strong> 10. Warriors select [player_tooltip player_id="66343" first="Corrie" last="Wisser"], 2023 S Hopkins/MVA</strong></p>
