Highlights of the Class of 2026 Rankings

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>The Class of 2026 is approaching some of the most intense time of their recruiting period. As we update our rankings, many of these players continue to climb or are just being discovered. Some are making their commitments while others are working through visits and talking with different schools to sort out their options. This class is full of talented prospects and here are a few to highlight our most recent update to the Class of 2026.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:heading --> <h2 class="wp-block-heading">Elite Middle Blockers</h2> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>This particular class is not only led by Minnesota commit, [player_tooltip player_id='196507' first='Elena' last='Hoecke'], but they have a second high-level middle within the top 10. [player_tooltip player_id='308370' first='Brielle' last='Janssen'] hasn't made her commitment yet but she continues to impress with her dynamic presence on the court and ability to score in a number of ways. Janssen can run a number of tempos out of the middle and can terminate from anywhere on the net making her very tough to stop if her team is in system. She has an explosive approach and has a solid contact on the ball with a heavy arm.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:heading --> <h2 class="wp-block-heading">Major Athleticism Continues to Impress</h2> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='199397' first='Brynlee' last='Major'] of Lakeville North and Northern Lights is not the tallest pin hitter but she can fly. She can hang in the air and then packs a serious punch with her fast armswing. Major was super impressive at the Stock Up Showcase in Minnesota at the beginning of August and I can only imagine she will be a force to reckon with this fall.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:heading --> <h2 class="wp-block-heading">Krazy for Kreiser</h2> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='338394' first='Meaghan' last='Kreiser'] had quite a year with MN Select. She was executing a fast swing down the line, crushing overpasses, and being a staple in serve receive. Kreiser will slice the ball around outside the block or use the block to score at will. She's got a great thumb-down finish and a nice high contact point.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:heading --> <h2 class="wp-block-heading">Middles To Watch</h2> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='364704' first='Hailey' last='Laffond'] - 6'1 - Eden Prairie</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='348387' first='Isabella' last='Leaf'] - 5'11 - Anoka</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='497702' first='Breanna' last='Beckering'] - 6'0 - Southwest Christian</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='348388' first='Bella' last='Rosolanka'] - 5'11 - Chanhassen</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='364651' first='Brooke' last='Schuler'] - 5'10 - Chanhassen</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
