With the hype around the 2026 class heating up, the 2025 class here in Michigan still have quite the bench of athletes waiting to find their next landing zone.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Take a look at these 5 athletes that you need to keep an eye on in June.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:heading --> <h2 class="wp-block-heading">[player_tooltip player_id='239993' first='Kadie' last='Tarasiewicz'] - OLSM/Legacy</h2> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>This player has been lighting it up throughout the course of her junior year. From what was an otherwise breakout fall with Orchard Lake St. Mary's, [player_tooltip player_id='239993' first='Kadie' last='Tarasiewicz'] has continued her accent this club season. She's a quick player off of the ground and into the ball. Always good for a quick point. She'd be a nice addition to any college program.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:heading --> <h2 class="wp-block-heading">[player_tooltip player_id='343669' first='Chloe' last='Aalfs'] - Buchanan/Dunes</h2> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>A player who has come on real hard to the radar in the last few months, [player_tooltip player_id='343669' first='Chloe' last='Aalfs'] continues to impress. A well-rounded outside hitter with all of the tools in the box and the defense in the back court. Aalfs has been a staple for the Dunes VBC over the course of the club season. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:heading --> <h2 class="wp-block-heading">[player_tooltip player_id='187070' first='Alayna' last='Esselink'] - Richmond/Michigan Elite</h2> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>This is another one who is as well-rounded as they come. You don't see quite as many middles at this high of level be thrown in to play six rotations. [player_tooltip player_id='187070' first='Alayna' last='Esselink'] has been taken on this role as of late and has shown some incredible signs of sticking to it. Esselink is an uber athletic body on the court with a developing sense of IQ.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:heading --> <h2 class="wp-block-heading">[player_tooltip player_id='156302' first='Finley' last='Helm'] - Mt. Pleasant/Five:1</h2> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Don't let her size fool you, [player_tooltip player_id='156302' first='Finley' last='Helm'] can hang and bang with the best of them. A staple for not only Mt. Pleasant, but also Five:1's 17 Black, Helm has been a shining star all throughout her junior year. A six rotation outside with loads of range, including her offense and defense, she offers so much to the court. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:heading --> <h2 class="wp-block-heading">[player_tooltip player_id='446690' first='Anneliese' last='De Jong'] - Kalamazoo Christian/Dead Frog</h2> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>With as many eyes as this team has been getting, I won't be surprised if we don't get an announcement from this one in the next few weeks. [player_tooltip player_id='446690' first='Anneliese' last='De Jong'] is having a super year. After a state title winning run with Kzoo Christian in the fall, De Jong has helped anchor her Dead Frog team to a 17 USA Bid. De Jong brings a lot of size to the right pin and quite a bit of fire power as well.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
