Both from the courts and from the future endeavors of these athletes.&nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Exaclty two months ahead of the highly anticipated June 15 date for the 2026 class, we have our first report. Let's take a look at who's committed and where they're off to in the next level.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:heading --> <h2 class="wp-block-heading">[player_tooltip player_id='288958' first='Madelyn' last='Krappmann'] to Hillsdale College</h2> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><em>5'10 OH - Everest Collegiate/Unified</em></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>This player could be a big time player for this Division II powerhouse. After an explosive fall with Everest Collegiate, winning the Division IV state title [player_tooltip player_id='288958' first='Madelyn' last='Krappmann'] has been on a roll! With multiple top 20 finishes throughout the club season with Unified, Krappmann continues to shine as a lethal attacker.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Krappmann's commitment comes from a stretch of in-state commitments from the 24 and 25 class. These include the likes of [player_tooltip player_id='473915' first='Hannah' last='Baker'], [player_tooltip player_id='110296' first='Ellie' last='Fles'] and [player_tooltip player_id='176598' first='Jenna' last='Southland']</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:heading --> <h2 class="wp-block-heading">[player_tooltip player_id='288965' first='Lili' last='Smith'] to Purdue University-Fort Wayne</h2> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><em>6'0 S/OPP - Flushing/Michigan Elite</em></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Hot off of the presses, here comes another Michigander heading to Fort Wayne. [player_tooltip player_id='288965' first='Lili' last='Smith'], the dynamic weapon at Michigan Elite, will be taking her game to Indiana. While it is presumed that Smith will go on to focus solely on her setting game, her offensive ways leaves a lot of opportunity on the table for her to find the court early on with the Mastadons. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Smith joins 2024 commit [player_tooltip player_id='443797' first='Jaelyn' last='Hall'] in this IPFW program.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:heading --> <h2 class="wp-block-heading">[player_tooltip player_id='156340' first='Addison' last='Williams'] to Fresno State</h2> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><em>6'3 OPP/MB - South Lyon East/Legacy</em></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>I have been waiting BIG TIME for an announcement from this player. Not only is this huge news for [player_tooltip player_id='156340' first='Addison' last='Williams'], but this is a HUGE get for Fresno State. This is a program under new tutelage with former Michigan associate HC, <strong>Leisa Rosen</strong>. After an explosive first season at the helm of the Bulldogs that saw Rosen lead the way to a Mountain West Championship, a get like Williams only feeds into what's to come from Fresno.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:heading --> <h2 class="wp-block-heading">[player_tooltip player_id='261176' first='Kendall' last='Williams'] to Bowling Green </h2> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><em>6'1 MB - Grand Blanc/Legacy</em></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Add another one to the tally. Joining alongside current club teammate, [player_tooltip player_id='185683' first='Alivia' last='Brown'], [player_tooltip player_id='261176' first='Kendall' last='Williams'] is Bowling Green bound. The 6'1 middle blocker has been quite the talent to keep an eye on over the last year or so. Still very early in her career, Williams has managed to make serious waves with her net play.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:heading --> <h2 class="wp-block-heading">[player_tooltip player_id='457339' first='Tia' last='Schultz'] to Robert Morris</h2> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><em>6'0 OPP - Dexter/L2</em></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Following up on a huge fall at Dexter, [player_tooltip player_id='457339' first='Tia' last='Schultz'] is putting a quite the show with L2 this club season. The 6'0 south paw on the right side has been quite the development over the last year. As she becomes more and more imposing as a point scorer, the more of get she becomes for a program like Robert Morris.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
