<p>The Class of 2027 has a lot of talent that have been doing big things on the national scene during the club season.</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>While some of them still have yet to get a chance to shine on the prep level, those days are soon approaching with the 2024 season not far off.</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>We have 20 players ranked in the Class of 2027, but the Watch List is full of players that could go on to reach the next level.</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Here's a look at a handful of those Watch List players and what they are bringing to the court.</p>

<p><em>Players listed alphabetically</em></p>

<!-- wp:heading -->
<h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='523832' first='Charley' last='Romeo'], OH Northville/L2</strong></h2>
<!-- /wp:heading -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Romeo has been able to play at either pin and finish consistently with a smooth swing. She's got a good technical approach to the net and can climb the ladder well to high point the ball. Romeo looks very comfortable on the court and in her role. As she continues to get more reps and experience, she's likely to turn up the speed of her play.</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:heading -->
<h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='490033' first='Christina' last='Rosenow'], MH Romeo/Monsters</strong></h2>
<!-- /wp:heading -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Rosenow is having a big club season, playing up an age level with Monsters. She's really had a good feel for the court and her opponents. She's got a lot of quickness and agility to use at the middle. Her slide kills have been very impressive, but she can be towering when playing straight up as well. Rosenow should be coming into the fall with a lot of confidence.</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:heading -->
<h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='442973' first='Brooklyn' last='Rummler'], MH Stoney Creek/Legacy</strong></h2>
<!-- /wp:heading -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>A 6'2” middle that has been playing up against the best in the country throughout club season, Rummler has shown that she is among the elite blockers in this class nationally. She's got great quickness moving side to side, allowing her to get her hands on a lot of opposing attacks. Rummler isn't just length, as she can get off the floor well and make herself very big at the net.</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:heading -->
<h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='454376' first='Blair' last='Russow'], DS/L Bedford/Legacy</strong></h2>
<!-- /wp:heading -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Russow is a little spring on the court. She moves well around the back row, but stays light on her toes to give herself a little boost on her digs and passes. Russow has a good sense when to make a dive or use a set to keep the point alive. She also has a very good out-of-system feed to give her hitters a chance to put the ball away.</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:heading -->
<h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='443001' first='Zoe' last='Ryan'], S/DS Divine Child/Michigan Elite</strong></h2>
<!-- /wp:heading -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Ryan is a well-rounded player that can excel anywhere. As a setter, she's got a nice touch on the ball and reads the defense well. She mixes up her locations and does a good job of knowing when to call her own numbers. Defensively, Ryan is a scrappy asset that makes a lot of athletic plays to keep points alive.</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:heading -->
<h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='523842' first='Allie' last='Schwieters'], OH West Catholic/FaR Out</strong></h2>
<!-- /wp:heading -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Schwieters plays very consistently and produces a solid amount of pop on each swing. She stays patient and makes sure she challenges the defense as best she can. Speed and tempo have room for improvement, but that will come as she gets experience against faster opponents and in a faster offense.</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:heading -->
<h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='523844' first='Irelynn' last='Sedore'], OH Pennfield/FaR Out</strong></h2>
<!-- /wp:heading -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Sedore is a great athlete that uses that to excel in all phases of the game. She can really explode off the floor and deliver a thunderous attack. She also brings that same power and speed to her serving ability. As a defender, Sedore makes a lot of agile plays that others can't. She shows a lot of competitiveness while still looking composed.</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:heading -->
<h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='442985' first='Josie' last='Seets'], RS Clarkston/Legacy</strong></h2>
<!-- /wp:heading -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Seets is a 6-foot hitter that saw time with the Clarkston varsity and then had an impressive club season with Legacy. She definitely looks more confident on the floor and is working her way to being one of the best right sides in the class. Her size and length allow her to play well above the net, and she's doing a good job of putting the ball in tight locations.</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:heading -->
<h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='523849' first='Avery' last='Seif'], DS/L Caledonia/MVA</strong></h2>
<!-- /wp:heading -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Seif is a dig machine. She's got a nose for the ball and knows how to make a play. Her eyes stay very active and engaged, which allows her time up her sprawls and dives well. Seif never looks rattled when on the court either. She stays low to the ground and lines herself up well to make sure she gets the best chance to make a dig.</p>
