2022 Volleyball Draft Introduction
It’s draft time once again!
In 2020, Prep Dig Michigan held its first Volleyball Draft, putting together a crop of eight teams of 10 different players on each squad.
The rosters were comprised of any juniors, sophomores and freshmen at the time in the state of Michigan.
Last year, we put together another draft and expanded it to 10 teams.
Well, draft week will be upon us next week, with coverage each day.
This time around, we are sticking with the 10 teams and including the player pools of any Michigan prospect from the Class of 2023, 2024 and 2025.
In case you forgot, here is what the format looks like.

The semifinals will be a pair of three-way polls. The winners of each poll will then be put head-to-head in our championship matchup.
