2025 Prospect Roulette For February

<p>Our February Prospect Roulette moves on to the Class of 2025, one of the deepest Michigan has had in some time.</p>   <p>Here's how it works: I'll pop up a random number generator that includes the 2025 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 141 players ranked in our Class of 2025. Let's see who has the lucky numbers this month:</p>   <h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>64. [player_tooltip player_id='473958' first='Julia' last='Rodriguez'], MH Frankenmuth/Michigan Elite</strong></h2>   <p>Rodriguez has been building a name for herself over the last year. After helping Frankenmuth make a deep playoff run during the fall, Rodriguez is really shining this club season. Her elevation off the floor allows her to generate a lot of hitting power and she's staying ahead of the blockers with her quick and compact swing.</p>   <h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>26. [player_tooltip player_id='156322' first='Madison' last='Peal'], DS/L GR Christian/MVA</strong></h2>   <p>Peal has been one of the defensive standouts in this class and she guided Grand Rapids Christian to the D2 semifinals this season. She's now doing big things for Rise Academy 71 in its debut look. Peal has all the intangibles for the position and has been up against the best hitters in the Midwest time and again. She's polished, experienced and never caught off guard.</p>   <h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>76. [player_tooltip player_id='196766' first='Tara' last='Creekmore'], OH Plymouth/L2</strong></h2>   <p>Creekmore is finding a new gear this club season as she's been among the kill leaders for L2 171. She's showing a well-rounded attack, being able to score with power, as well as finesse. She's scoring from the front and back row with offspeed and fastballs. Creekmore is reading the defense very well and playing with a lot of confidence right now.</p>   <h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>101. [player_tooltip player_id='445361' first='Maddy' last='Kreider'], S Kingsford/FC Elite</strong></h2>   <p>The UP setter plays with a lot of swagger and she's looking very comfortable leading the FC Elite 17's squad. Kreider is very good at disguising her play, but then can quickly make a really athletic play that has the defense feeling foolish. She's also setting a great ball and working on picking up her tempo. She's going to be a dominant force in the upper peninsula next fall.</p>   <h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>41. [player_tooltip player_id='156300' first='Sadie' last='Haase'], MH Fruitport/FaR Out</strong></h2>   <p>Haase has worked hard on her footwork and agility and it's showing. Recent matches have seen Haase look dominant for stretches. Her quickness allows her to take sets anywhere along the front row. No matter where she is, she is able to come down over the top of the ball and put home powerful balls at difficult angles.</p>   <h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>5. [player_tooltip player_id='156287' first='Isabelle' last='Busignani'], OH Marian/Michigan Elite</strong></h2>   <p>“Izzy Boogie” has been one of the top outsides in the 17U club season, to little surprise. She's a fiery competitor that has the complete skillset. Her hitting is always at a high rate while her defense keeps getting better and better. Busignani is never going to back down from a challenge and she typically comes out on top.</p>   <h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>122. [player_tooltip player_id='156331' first='Madison' last='Stager'], RS Flat Rock/L2</strong></h2>   <p>As a 6'2” hitter, Stager already brings a lot of traits that can't be taught. She uses her length well and is an imposing force at the net. Where Stager has shown improvement this club season is being patient with her attacks. She's been waiting for the ball on out-of-system swings and still putting a good pop on them while finding open space in the defense.</p>   <h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>93. [player_tooltip player_id='261180' first='Korin' last='Hutton'], S Anchor Bay/Legacy</strong></h2>   <p>Hutton is a coach's dream for her leadership skills. She's a great talker and communicator and has a lot of confidence in her leadership. Teammates feed off that energy and she also is very supportive of their play. It's one thing to have that and not be able to back it up with your play, but Hutton is a very strong technical setter and defender as well. If there's a way for her to make the play, she's going to find a way to do it.</p>   <h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>20. [player_tooltip player_id='200397' first='Dylann' last='Kelly'], OH Jenison/FaR Out</strong></h2>   <p>Coming off a great prep season to help Jenison be a breakout team in the state, Kelly is really shining as a right side this club season with FaR Out. She's working off the blockers very well and improving on her finishing rate. Her athleticism and explosiveness allow her to move around the floor and be a main target, leaving the defense to have to put a lot of attention on her.</p>   <h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>14. [player_tooltip player_id='224597' first='Abby' last='Pickard'], S Lakewood/FaR Out</strong></h2>   <p>Pickard has been asked to do a lot for both Lakewood and FaR Out over the years, but she's met the challenge every time. Pickard runs a very fast offense this club season, but has to hit a lot of different spots, both up front and to the back row. She's got the touch and mechanics to do it at a high level and do it with a lot of tempo.</p>
