All of the stars will be out! </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>With some of the best talent on display, yet, some of the best hidden gems remain untouched. Here are some of the top uncommitted prospect from Michigan at Triple Crown.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:heading --> <h2 class="wp-block-heading">[player_tooltip player_id='288946' first='Alana' last='Bailey'] - FaR Out 18 Black</h2> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>One of the top emerging middles in the Michigan 2025 class, [player_tooltip player_id='288946' first='Alana' last='Bailey'] joins forces with 18 Black in her junior season. Bailey is alongside some of the best that Michigan has to offer that includes high powered middles such as [player_tooltip player_id='110305' first='Kendall' last='Hopewell'] (Northern Kentucky). Bailey has proved herself to be quite an effective blocker and an increasing threat offensively. This roster boasts a lot of options for weapons at the net and Bailey has wedged herself as one of the most potent.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:heading --> <h2 class="wp-block-heading">[player_tooltip player_id='224604' first='Katerina' last='Stout'] - Michigan Elite 17 Mizuno</h2> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Michigan Elite 17 Mizuno has kicked off the season in quite the explosive fashion. Within the last few weeks, 17 Miz has finished atop both the Northern Lights Qualifier and the Central Zone Invite. A big reason for this has been the introduction of [player_tooltip player_id='224604' first='Katerina' last='Stout']. A new addition to this group, Stout has added a lot of depth to the group with her elite blocking and ever-growing offensive prowess. MiElite will be down a middle going into the weekend which poses a lot of opportunities to catch Stout in action.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:heading --> <h2 class="wp-block-heading">[player_tooltip player_id='156340' first='Addison' last='Williams'] - Legacy 17-1 Adidas</h2> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>This player can weave on and off the bench and provide a real spark. Legacy is coming off of a Runner-Up finish at Central Zone behind the net play of [player_tooltip player_id='156340' first='Addison' last='Williams']. Spending a lot of time in the middle, Williams continues to shine in that role. Her movement along the net and transition play has grown superbly. I continue to be amazed with how well Williams plays on the court, but yet is not committed to a big time program. Triple Crown provides the perfect stage for her to show off what she's made of.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:heading --> <h2 class="wp-block-heading">[player_tooltip player_id='462056' first='Saige' last='Martin'] - Michigan Elite 18 Mizuno</h2> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Whoever ends up snagging this player has a real dandy on their hands. At one point, [player_tooltip player_id='462056' first='Saige' last='Martin'] was one of the top track and field prospects Michigan had to offer. After a state championship in the fall of her junior year on the volleyball courts, Martin has found new love for the game. Athletic and dynamic, Martin can hit just about anything along the net. With 18 Mizuno, she's transitioned from the middle to the right pin and has become a go-to point scorer. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:heading --> <h2 class="wp-block-heading">[player_tooltip player_id='110335' first='Avery' last='Woodard'] - Michigan Elite 18 Mizuno</h2> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>For years, [player_tooltip player_id='110335' first='Avery' last='Woodard'] had been known for her exceptional setting abilities. With that, she's shown to be an elite defensive player as well. In her final year of club ball, Woodard has made the move to defensive specialist and thrives in the role. No need to worry about running the offense, she's become a digging machine. Woodard is another dual sport athlete who thrives in center field on the softball fields. Her speed and quick twitch nature helps her thrive in the scrappy defensive role she's grown into.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
