2026 Prospect Roulette: January Edition

<p>It's time for the Class of 2026 to take part in Prospect Roulette for January.</p>   <p>Here's how it works: I'll pop up a random number generator that includes the 2026 rankings. I'll generate 10 numbers and the 10 that come up will be the ranking of the player. I'll then spotlight those players in the article to help give them some more attention.</p>   <p>There's 110 players ranked in our Class of 2026. Let's see who has the lucky numbers this month:</p>   <h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>25. [player_tooltip player_id='226943' first='Sienna' last='Wolfe'], OH Rockford/MVA</strong></h2>   <p>A multi-sport talent, Wolfe is one of the young hitters that Rockford has been utilizing the last two season. This year she improved on her finishing ability while proving to be a standout defender in the process. She stays very active in the back row and is able to use her athleticism to get to a lot of tough attacks.</p>   <h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>39. [player_tooltip player_id='227707' first='Gracelynn' last='Olson'], S Fruitport/MVA</strong></h2>   <p>Fruitport took a lot of lumps this season with a very competitive schedule, but it should pay off in the long run for Olson, who still worked to spread the ball around and develop her hitters. Olson has a smooth delivery and gives her hitters a good ball to attack. She's improved on her command on the floor and defensive play and should be in line for a breakout 2024.</p>   <h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>65. [player_tooltip player_id='442613' first='Lily' last='Sukup'], S/OH Goodrich/Five:1</strong></h2>   <p>Sukup has been able to wear multiple hats early in her prep career. She's a promising setter while also being able to play both pins as a hitter. Sukup has a good feel for the game and makes good instinctive choices when on the court. She mixes up her shots well but isn't afraid to turn up the intensity.</p>   <h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>106. [player_tooltip player_id='400074' first='Sable' last='Dankers'], MH TC Central/Northshore</strong></h2>   <p>Dankers is a 6-foot middle that was able to play both of the pins for TC Central this fall. She's got a big wind up, but places the ball well and has good out-of-system swings. Her length and wingspan allow her to cover a lot of area. As she develops a little quicker delivery, her finishing rate should continue to improve.</p>   <h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>56. [player_tooltip player_id='226942' first='Ashley' last='Verhey'], RS Milford/Legacy</strong></h2>   <p>Verhey hasn't had a chance to showcase her skills much over the last year, but this club season and 2024 prep year will be an opportunity for her to shine. Verhey is an athletic 6-foot OPP that has a cannon of a left arm. She generates big power and does it consistently. She anticipates the ball well and doesn't rush through her swing.</p>   <h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>8. [player_tooltip player_id='226888' first='Aubree' last='Deshetsky'], OH North Branch/Legacy</strong></h2>   <figure class="wp-block-image alignright size-large is-resized"><img src="https://prepdig.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/5/2023/11/D2-SSemifinal-2-10.jpg?w=1024" alt="" class="wp-image-479607" style="width:227px;height:auto" /><figcaption class="wp-element-caption">[player_tooltip player_id='226888' first='Aubree' last='Deshetsky']</figcaption></figure>   <p>They don't get much more productive than Deshetsky, who is sure to go down as one of North Branch's all-time greats by the time she wraps up her prep career. Already with two state titles to her credit, Deshetsky is on the edge of being an 800-kill, 800-dig player as a sophomore. She's got the all-around game and the composure to be one of the best.</p>   <h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>11. [player_tooltip player_id='220968' first='Quinn' last='Yenshaw'], OH St. Francis/FaR Out</strong></h2>   <p>Yenshaw had a breakout fall while helping lead the Gladiators to the Division 3 final. She's looking to build on that this club season. Yenshaw was the offensive leader for TCSF, as she had a great mixture of power and offspeed swings. She can attack aggressive lines while also transitioning quickly into defense mode. Yenshaw is going to be a very polished outside coming into her junior year.</p>   <h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>27. [player_tooltip player_id='261208' first='Skylar' last='Marteen'], OH Northville/L2</strong></h2>   <p>Marteen really picked up her game late in the prep season and became a great RS option for the Mustangs as they made a return trip to the D1 semifinals. Marteen was putting down highlight-reel kills with a lot of velocity and sharp angles. As she gets more opportunities in the future, she should start to showcase the ability to help her teams win in all phases.</p>   <h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>43. [player_tooltip player_id='226913' first='Abbigayl' last='Sells'], DS/L Lake Fenton/Legacy</strong></h2>   <p>Sells is shaping up to be an elite defender. She's having a strong start to her club season, showing lightning fast reaction times while making digs that keep her team in pressure-filles rallies. Sells moves quickly around the floor and communicates very well. She's not caught out of position often, but even when she is she can still make the play.</p>   <h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>2. [player_tooltip player_id='226886' first='Gabby' last='DiVita'], OH GP South/Legacy</strong></h2>   <p>One of the most experienced and mature outsides you will find in this class, DiVita has grown very accustomed to pressure and handling it well. The 6'2” Divita plays very long and aggressive at the net, allowing her to rack up massive kill numbers in both the prep and club seasons. She's also a very determined defender, and you can see she has the drive and desire to be one of the best in the country.</p>
