Continue ReadingThe class of 2027 has made a statement. And while I have not had the opportunity to see many of them play (yet), plenty are headed to the Top 250 Expo. Some I have had the chance to see play at nationals as 14s this past summer or at the state tournament. I am most excited about getting to know this new class of prospects!
Lilliani Big Eagle
Lilliani Big Eagle
I had the opportunity to see Lilliani play at the Prep Dig Sizzle this past summer. And I cannot wait to see how she impresses after a full season of high school volleyball under her belt. Lilliani is incredibly athletic and has near-perfect ball control. She moves the ball around quickly and with finesse and will likely make an immediate impact at the Expo and the 15s level.
Gigi has all the makings to be a great athlete. In high school, she played on offense and was one of the kill leaders for Wisconsin Lutheran this season. As a setter, Gigi has a great touch on the ball and keeps her body neutral when setting. She is a double threat with her ability to set and swing.
Highlights
Ella is a 6-rotation athlete who can swing on both pins. She is talented as a blocker and has high-level court awareness. She sees the game incredibly well, which adds a lot of value on offense and defense. She impressed me at the Freshman Showcase earlier this year, and I anticipate this is a name we will hear more of!
Aubrey is an explosive and dynamite pin hitter. She took the court by storm this high school season. She was 2nd Team All-State as a freshman, an incredible accomplishment. Aubrey will be a top prospect to watch in this class as she continues to play at such a high level.
Highlights
Bella’s talent was very apparent at the Freshman Expo earlier this year. She earned significant playing time at Eisenhower in her freshman season and already has over 300 assists to her name! She runs a fast offense and is unafraid to take risks with her sets.
Highlights
Lucy is a middle with near-infinite potential. I saw her play over the summer, and I am excited to see how she continues to level up her game during the high school season. Lucy is explosive and quick on the court, and her swings pack a punch. She also has a huge defensive presence at the net.
Highlights
While I have not seen Payton play live yet, she is an athlete I am eager to get on my radar. She was All-State Honorable Mention in her freshman year and contributed over 700 assists and 100 kills during the season.
