Eagles – [player_tooltip player_id="66314" first="Kennedy" last="Louisell"], OH Forest Hills Northern/FaR Out (2023)</strong>: The Eagles go outside hitter to start the second round to compliment their middle. Louisell is a very explosive player that excels everywhere on the floor.</p> <p><strong>2. Cougars – [player_tooltip player_id="156287" first="Isabelle" last="Busignani"], OH Marian/Michigan Elite (2025)</strong>: Busignani is a long and talented outside with a very high ceiling as a 2025 prospect.</p> <p><strong>3. Bulldogs – [player_tooltip player_id="66292" first="Rebecca" last="Apsey"], OH Groves/Legacy (2023)</strong>: Apsey has a lot of lift in her attacks and looks very smooth at the net offensive and defensively.</p> <p><strong>4. Falcons – [player_tooltip player_id="108718" first="Erin" last="Madigan"], S Dakota/Legacy (2023)</strong>: Another long setter to come off the board. Madigan uses her 6’2” frame to really challenge opposing defenses and be a blocking force on defense.</p> [caption id="attachment_157814" align="alignright" width="222"]<img class="wp-image-157814 " src="https://prephoops-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com/pd/uploads/2021/09/Novi-Hoffman-268x300.jpg" alt="" width="222" height="249" /> [player_tooltip player_id="66308" first="Kaitlyn" last="Hoffman"][/caption] <p><strong>5. Lions – [player_tooltip player_id="66308" first="Kaitlyn" last="Hoffman"], L/DS Novi/Legacy (2023)</strong>: The Lions elect to take the top defender off the draft board. It’s hard to argue, Hoffman is as calm and collected as it gets in the back row, yet she also has the natural talent to play at the net if needed.</p> <p><strong>6. Warriors – [player_tooltip player_id="66316" first="Remi" last="Madison"], OH Grand Blanc/Michigan Elite (2023)</strong>: Another explosive outside, Madison delivers a very powerful ball, but keeps her head on a swivel defensively as well.</p> <p><strong>7. Wildcats – [player_tooltip player_id="110282" first="Mallory" last="Bohl"], MB Saline/Legacy (2024)</strong>: Bohl has a very high ceiling as a middle. She’s already got the size at 6’3”, but is adding new dimensions to her attack day by day.</p> <p><strong>8. Tigers – [player_tooltip player_id="156293" first="Ella" last="Craggs"], S Mercy/Michigan Elite (2025)</strong>: Another athletic young setter that can also play on the outside, Craggs is a high-ceiling prospect.</p> <p><strong>9. Broncos – [player_tooltip player_id="110295" first="Elana" last="Erickson"], OH Forest Hills Northern/FaR Out (2024)</strong>: The first 2024 outside to be selected, Erickson makes an impact at every rotation.</p> <p><strong>10. Bears – [player_tooltip player_id="66302" first="Olivia" last="Gardner"], MB Dakota/Legacy (2023)</strong>: Gardner just has a nose for the ball and makes a lot of key plays defensively. She’s also got a great termination rate when the ball comes her way.</p> <h4><strong>Third Round</strong></h4> <p><strong>1. Bears – [player_tooltip player_id="108759" first="Raegan" last="Lantz"], OH West Ottawa/MVA (2023):</strong> A second outside for the Bears gives the team a spoil of riches at the net. Lantz will be a great 1-2 punch for the squad.</p> <p><strong>2. Broncos – [player_tooltip player_id="108715" first="Kam" last="Burbridge"], MB Grand Haven/MVA (2023)</strong>: The Broncos add their middle in the 6’1” Burbridge. She can be a real force with her timing and footwork.</p> <p><strong>3. Tigers – [player_tooltip player_id="156299" first="Olivia" last="Grenadier"], MB Country Day/Legacy (2025)</strong>: The Tigers take their second 2025 prospect, but it’s another good one. Grenadier looks to be another dominant middle from the DCD program.</p> [caption id="attachment_115980" align="alignright" width="198"]<img class=" wp-image-115980" src="https://prephoops-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com/pd/uploads/2020/11/Lakewood-Skylar-Bump-222x300.jpg" alt="" width="198" height="268" /> [player_tooltip player_id="66296" first="Skylar" last="Bump"][/caption] <p><strong>4. Wildcats – [player_tooltip player_id="66296" first="Skylar" last="Bump"], S Lakewood/FaR Out (2023)</strong>: Bump is a veteran setter that has been in a lot of big matches. She will work well with the team’s primary hitters.</p> <p><strong>5. Warriors – [player_tooltip player_id="156321" first="McKenna" last="Payne"], L/DS SMCC/Michigan Elite (2025)</strong>: The Warriors opt for a young defender to lead its back row. Payne has shown a lot of poise and high-level play for a 2025 defender.</p> <p><strong>6. Lions – Aubreigh Oswald, MB Lowell/FaR Out (2023)</strong>: The Lions find their middle in Oswald, someone who has bounced back well from a knee injury and finishes at a high rate.</p> <p><strong>7. Falcons – [player_tooltip player_id="110288" first="Cayla" last="Cogan"], OH Clarkston/Legacy (2024)</strong>: A quick and agile outside that can play six rotations, Cogan is a great value pick in the third round.</p> <p><strong>8. Bulldogs – [player_tooltip player_id="66295" first="Allison" last="Berent"], L/DS Notre Dame Prep/L2 (2023)</strong>: A very well-coached defender that plays with a lot of fire, Berent is ready for a big year.</p> <p><strong>9. Cougars – [player_tooltip player_id="66334" first="Neele’ge’" last="Sims"], MB Corunna/Michigan Elite (2023)</strong>: Sims is a very mentally strong player that can take on a big workload at the net.</p> <p><strong>10. Eagles – Alexis Smith, L/DS Anchor Bay/Legacy (2023)</strong>: Smith is able to hold her own with the best at the position and rises to the occasion in big sets.</p>
