Iowa, Illinois, and Wisconsin 2024s Available and Impactful

There are still some 2024s on the board who are electric and would make an impact at the next level.  I know plenty in Illinois, Iowa, and Wisconsin who have had a big club season and could be a steal when it comes to the college game.  There are plenty of June college clinics and tournaments where coaches from all levels will be able to evaluate.     Iowa    Hartman is accustomed to playing in big matches where she was the libero for Marion High School, a perennial Class 4A power.  She brings a really athletic style to the court where she covers plenty of ground.  She plays for [program_tooltip program_id='431948' first='Iowa' last='Rockets'] 17R where they will be heading to Chicago for nationals this summer.  Keep tabs on Hartman as well as others on her [program_tooltip program_id='431948' first='Iowa' last='Rockets'] team who is loaded with 2024 talent.     Vogt has been rising among middle blockers in Iowa where she has an athletic and physical style to her game.  She was a key player for Waukee Northwest who qualified for state for the first time in school history this past fall.  Her biggest attribute might be her block where she had 88 total blocks this high school season and over 200 kills.      Johnson was a key attacker for Davenport Assumption out of the Quad Cities where they won a Class 3A state title this past fall.  She had nearly 250 kills and over 30 blocks in her Juniors season.  This past club season she's been playing on the pin for Iowa Select 17 Mizuno where she can hit a variety of shots to score points. One this is for sure is that she attacks with aggression to get the job done.     Jensen can do a little bit of everything where she was one of the top players in Western Iowa this past high school season.  This club season she has competed on [program_tooltip program_id='428961' first='NWI' last='Premier'] and just got done competing at the Iowa Girls State Track Meet. Jensen is a dynamic athlete who is explosive.  She can play multiple positions on the court and will find ways to make positive contributions.     Illinois     Keegan won a state title for her Genoa Kingston High School team last fall and is one of the top available players in the Illinois Class of 2024.  She can set and swing, doing whatever her team needs from her.  She will be heading to the Prep Dig Gauntlet this weekend where Mission 17 Elite has plenty of weapons to score and solid defenders.  Keegan will be one coaches will have eyes on in the gym as well as the Prep Dig scouts.     Smith has been a key piece to the success of the 1st Alliance squad where this team has qualified at the open level the past three seasons.  She is well trained with great footwork, can set all the tempos in front and behind her, and has played against some of the top players in the country.  All 1st Alliance setters have the foundation and the training to be an effective setter at the next level.     I've seen Weissenberg play since her 15s year where she is on the [program_tooltip program_id='432009' first='Sky' last='High'] 17 Adidas Elite squad.  She is an effective and efficient lefty where she has a whip of an arm swing and knows how to play against high level competition.  Weissenberg and her [program_tooltip program_id='432009' first='Sky' last='High'] teammates will be at the Prep Dig Gauntlet this upcoming weekend where she will get another chance to compete against some of the best in the Midwest.     I just saw Brass play at the Prep Dig Chi-Town Classic where she was the libero for the Belusa United 18s team.  She is scrappy, but also under control in her movement.  She is able to anticipate the next ball and has efficiency starting with her footwork that translates to her platform.  What was also an impressive attribute was her body language on the court where she has nothing but smiles and good vibes.     Novak was on the state runner up squad in Illinois's largest class this past fall with Benet Academy.  She is someone who is effective in every rotation where she can serve receive, pass, and score points from the pin.  Her all around ability is one of her top strength's where she can do a little bit of everything.  Benet will be looking to take the title in 2023 with a strong core returning with some of the top players in Illinois on their roster.    Wisconsin    A pure winner!  [player_tooltip player_id='122481' first='Ava' last='Dean'] has played in the state tournament for volleyball, basketball, and soccer.  She has raised a lot of trophies in her career and would be someone coaches need in their gym at the next level.  She is a natural floor general no matter what sport she is playing.  As a setter, she can get her hands to the ball and make things happen.  She has the athleticism and physicality to be effective at the net as well as defend her position in the backrow.  McFarland has a very talented senior class ready to do big things in 2023.     Kennedy has been training at a high level where she has won state titles at Howards Grove and has been a key defender in the [program_tooltip program_id='428591' first='FC' last='Elite'] 17 Navy scheme where they have locked up a National division bid.  Kennedy knows how to create angles with her platform where she can play multiple spots in the backrow as well and handle a heavy volume of serve receive.  The Tigers of Howards Grove are coming off four straight state titles.     I saw Subat compete for Sheboygan Falls in the 2022 volleyball season and saw a foundation where she could be a really solid all around player.  She found a spot on Sting's 17 Black team where her game has gone to the next level.  With playing against tough competition, she can score points in a variety of ways while being able to pass and serve receive.  She is new on the radar, but someone college coaches could definitely key on.     So explosive.  Merizon bounces off the floor on her approach as if she is jumping off a gymnastics mat.  Merizon has always competed up an age group on the Impact 18 National team and had a huge club season.  She is a tough matchup where she can hang in the air and hit for power or IQ.  Her performances at Prep Dig showcases and tournaments have always stood out where she finds a way to get positive points and touches for her team.     Piktel brings a whole lot of length to the court where she can play anywhere in the front line.  She can be a really tough matchup on the right side with how she can establish the block, but also score points going cross court as well as going down the line.  Westosha Central will have a strong core returning in 2023 to the high school courts where Piktel will be a key part to their success once again.  She would be a great late pick up at the next level.
