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>   <p>This fall has been chock full of new announcements from some of the biggest names in Michigan volleyball. Take a look at who's going where.</p>   <h2 class="wp-block-heading">[player_tooltip player_id='227666' first='Ella' last='Deklyen'] to Hope College</h2>   <p>5'9 OH - Tri-Unity Christian/FaR Out</p>   <p>Hope College has really emerged into one heck of a power player when it comes to Division III volleyball. And I don't see this cahnging anytime soon with the likes of [player_tooltip player_id='227666' first='Ella' last='Deklyen']. Deklyen out of Tri-Unity Christian has been one of the top players in MHSAA Division IV volleyball throughout her entire career. Earning all state honors in each of her first three seasons, Deklyen is a 2x First Team honoree. She'll look to carry these dominating ways over to the reigning Division III National Runner-Ups.</p>   <h2 class="wp-block-heading">[player_tooltip player_id='226876' first='Finley' last='Arp'] to Grand Valley</h2>   <p>6'0 OH/OPP - South Christian/FaR Out</p>   <p>Grand Valley is beginning to become one of those programs that just restocks and reloads on the regular. [player_tooltip player_id='226876' first='Finley' last='Arp'] is a prospect that is coming into her own so nicely. A live-wire of an arm and extremely athletic, you can have Arp on either pin and she'll go blow for blow with the best out there. GVSU is currently experiencing a renaissance as one of the top 20 teams in the country. With a pick-up like Arp, I don't see that kind of success coming to an end anytime soon.</p>   <p>Finley's older sister, Kennedy Arp, currently plays for the Lakers and will be a senior when Finley arrives on campus.</p>   <h2 class="wp-block-heading">[player_tooltip player_id='478074' first='Sarah' last='Pippin'] to Valparaiso</h2>   <p>6'1 OH - Edwardsburg/NIVA </p>   <p>This commitment looks to be a total steal! [player_tooltip player_id='478074' first='Sarah' last='Pippin'] is a player that has fallen under a lot of radars, but has been cooking up some fire on the volleyball courts. Out of that gray area in the southwest portion of Michigan where there seems to be a lot of potential, but no big cub scene to blast it to the masses. Pippin is a player that has caught my eye playing for the small NIVA club out of Indiana. She's a player with good size, a nice touch to the ball and a lot of potential. Valpo could really do some damage in the Missouri Valley with this kind of prospect.</p>   <figure class="wp-block-image alignright size-large is-resized"><img src="https://prepdig.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/5/2024/10/DSC02922.jpg?w=1024" alt="" class="wp-image-705757" style="width:340px;height:auto" /><figcaption class="wp-element-caption">[player_tooltip player_id='226900' first='Liv' last='Hosford']</figcaption></figure>   <h2 class="wp-block-heading">[player_tooltip player_id='226900' first='Liv' last='Hosford'] to Oakland</h2>   <p>5'10 OH - Rockford/MVA</p>   <p>This player is having one heck of a junior high school season. Leading the Rockford Rams to one of their best seasons in the last five years, she's one of the top scorers in Michigan and she's announced she will be heading to Oakland in the fall of 2026. [player_tooltip player_id='226900' first='Liv' last='Hosford'] is riding high. And so should Oakland. While Hosford has been a more known prospect, its really been this fall that we've seen her breakout as a leading player. She looks to stepping into a really exciting zone for her career that should excited the staff at Oakland by time she arrives on campus.</p>   <h2 class="wp-block-heading">[player_tooltip player_id='261199' first='Morgin' last='Parsley'] to Oakland</h2>   <p>5'9 S - Walled Lake Northern/Legacy</p>   <p>Speaking of Oakland, this recruiting staff has been quite busy. From the west side of the state to right down the road, it seems to me that the Grizzlies are picking up all the right pieces. [player_tooltip player_id='261199' first='Morgin' last='Parsley'] is another player that is having an exciting year. More so on the club side, Parsley has seen her game level up immensely. She runs the offense for Legacy's second team in her class and has them competing against some of the better 1s team, challenging to compete in open levels at tournaments. She's a player that can level up those around her, I am exciting to her and Hosford's connection develop in Rochester. </p>
