With commitments left and right being announced from across the country, the studs out of Michigan have been becoming more and more prevalent in these recent announcements.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>It's been awhile since we've covered our last commitment radar report, it's time to update you all on the most recent commitments. Take a look below!</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:heading --> <h2 class="wp-block-heading">[player_tooltip player_id='226882' first='Karis' last='Chatfield'] to East Tennessee State</h2> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><em>6'0 OH - Jenison/FaR Out</em></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>This is the first of the west side talent to make their announcement from the 26 class. [player_tooltip player_id='226882' first='Karis' last='Chatfield'] is as elite as they come. A stop rated attacker in her class, Chatfield could easily get down as one of the top passer and defenders too. Chatfield found her next stop at East Tennessee State, a perennial performer in the SoCon Conference.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:heading --> <h2 class="wp-block-heading">[player_tooltip player_id='356397' first='Jadyn' last='Kennedy'] to Toledo</h2> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>5'5 DS/L - Clay/Legacy</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Add another DS out of Legacy to find their way to the next level. Not too far from home base for this player, [player_tooltip player_id='356397' first='Jadyn' last='Kennedy'] is actually a product of the Toledo area. This defender will look to keep her talents close to home and add onto a real exciting few recruiting classes for the Rockets.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:heading --> <h2 class="wp-block-heading">[player_tooltip player_id='226910' first='Kayla' last='Ostrander'] to Eastern Michigan</h2> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>5'6 DS/L - Eisenhower/Legacy</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Rounding out the trio of DSs for Legacy's 16-1 Adidas squad, [player_tooltip player_id='226910' first='Kayla' last='Ostrander'] is off the table! This one will go to another emerging MAC program, Eastern Michigan. This looks to be a solid pick up for the Eagles following their recent change in leadership and first recruiting class in 2024!</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:heading --> <h2 class="wp-block-heading">[player_tooltip player_id='156311' first='Piper' last='Kozuch'] to Madonna</h2> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>5'8 S/OH - Morley Stanwood/Inside Out</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>This player has been one of the top performers in the Division III game for the last few seasons. Throw her in as setter, or throw her into swing a few, [player_tooltip player_id='156311' first='Piper' last='Kozuch'] is good to deliver on the court. She'll take her talents to an emerging power player in the WHAC conference in NAIA, Madonna next fall.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:heading --> <h2 class="wp-block-heading">[player_tooltip player_id='395923' first='Caitlyn' last='Matelski'] to Lake Superior State</h2> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>6'0 OPP - Petoskey/Northshore</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='395923' first='Caitlyn' last='Matelski'] recently came upon my radar and I'm glad she did. Not only has she impressed me but the likes of Lake Superior State. A program that always competes in the GLIAC conference, Matelski could be a real game changer for this program. A multi-sport athlete that has fallen under the radar. This lefty south paw could do damage at the next level.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
