Illinois, Iowa, and Wisconsin Uncommitted 2025s to Know

The senior season is always exciting, bittersweet, and for some a little uneasy when they are navigating what their next step in their academic and athletic careers. For the seniors listed below, they definitely have the ability to play at the next level. I went through and double checked to make sure they are uncommitted. There are some commits I miss, but before writing articles I do my best to make sure the information is accurate. I do realize there are some who get to their senior year make the decision that their high school season will be there last. For these athletes, that could be the case, but I know they definitely have the ability to make an impact at the next level. This is the time of year when college coaches will ask me what seniors would be late pick ups for them. Well, here you go. Take a look at these uncommitted 2025s who can make an impact at the next level    Katlyn Tarkowski is part of a high powered, senior led Arrowhead High School team that has put together quite a season. She has over 150 kills and is nearing the 500 kill mark for her career for the Warhawks as they are nearing their 30th win of the season. She is an electric pin who really packs a punch with her swing. She can run a quick tempo to the outside where she isn't afraid to take a big swing and cause plenty of chaos on the other side of the net.     Teegan Charapata of Appleton North and FC Elite is one of the best attackers in Northeast Wisconsin and has been on the radar of Division 1 schools all summer as her stock has been rising very quickly. Her work in the weight room is apparent as her explosiveness has been different this high school season where she is able to maintain a high vertical throughout a long five set match. Her intangibles as a team leader are also through the roof as she has been on successful final four teams the past two seasons for Appleton North. In her senior season, she has over 450 kills and is just under .300 for her hitting efficiency. She checks all the boxes and I believe is one of the top available 2025s in the Upper Midwest.       Another electric pin is Kylee Altendorf where I have seen her be a standout at Prep Dig Events since she was 15. She has been a key member in the surge of I AM Volleyball Club out of the North Milwaukee area and has been a big time point scorer for West Bend West. She has over 350 kills in her senior season and over 1100 for her career. Having coached against Altendorf, she is a frustrating matchup. Take away the line, she goes cross or tools the block. Prepare for her to go cross and she hammers the line or high hands. Extremely dynamic six rotation player.     Ava Patchett is one who can do a variety of things for a team from being a libero/ds to setter. During the club season, she is a defensive specialist for FC Elite 17 Navy out of Appleton. For her high school team she is a setter. Her all around skill is what will make plenty of gyms better at the next level. Having a combo player who can play multiple positions can come in very handy over the course of a longer college season.     [player_tooltip player_id='392702' first='Alyssa' last='Koerkenmeier'] has been playing for HP Illinois for club and preps at high school power Breese Mater Dei outside of St. Louis. At 6'5, Koerkenmeier can do so many things for her team out of the middle. She is also a standout basketball player (dual sport college athlete?) So far this high school season she is averaging three kills per set and is hitting just shy of .450 with over 60 total blocks. She is a gamechanger at the net. She will be busy the next few weeks looking to get Mater Dei back to state where they are currently 24-1.       So electric. If college coaches are looking for a dynamic middle who is a quick leaper, fast arm, and an IQ to find the open spot then [player_tooltip player_id='288627' first='Kyndal' last='James'] needs to be on the radar. She has played her club ball for [program_tooltip program_id='431567' first='Adversity' last=''] and preps at Lincoln Way East in Chicagoland. She connects well on various routes with her setter, is accustomed to open level play, and is part of a high powered high school program who will look to make a run in November. Her upside at the next level is very exciting.     This would be a late steal for a program looking for a setter with [player_tooltip player_id='195871' first='Addison' last='Kerr'] who plays for [program_tooltip program_id='430006' first='Illini' last='Elite'] and Champaign St. Thomas More, a small school powerhouse in Illinois. I scoured the internet thinking Kerr was committed, but could not find anything. She knows how to win, she is accustomed to high level competition and training, and players like her just seem to transition really well to the next level very well. She averages over nine assists per set, can be offensive when she needs to be, and at the end of the day just finds a way to get it done.     The “Schubert” name has been a constant in the Quad Cities where Ellie is the third Schubert sister to have plenty of success at Davenport Assumption. She has won a state title for the Knights and has always finished her season at the state tournament. She knows how to run an offense, keeping her hands high and neutral, where she makes it tough for the other side of the net to read her sets. She also has a really nasty serve and a savvy about her game where she knows how to find the right matchup for her attacker or when to take it herself. She plays for Iowa Select and will be fun to see where she ends up at the next level.     [player_tooltip player_id='217136' first='Maliyah' last='Hacker'] has been a force to be reckoned with since her freshman year at Sioux City Bishop Heelan. As a senior she has racked up over 1000 career kills and is leading the Crusaders to another exciting season where they are looking to get back to the state tournament. She can play six rotations and can attack and score from multiple positions along the front line. Above all else her athleticism is something different. She could be quite a get being in the middle of the GPAC, NSIC, and Summit League where she has plenty of options.     Another Western Iowa athlete to know is [player_tooltip player_id='214507' first='Charley' last='Hernandez'] who is having a huge high school season for Glenwood. She has collected over 300 kills, over 250 digs, and 40 aces. She impacts the game in every facet. She has played her club ball at Premier in Omaha where she has received high level training which is paying off for her senior year. Glenwood is 33-6 and will be looking for a trip to state tournament after a big run of trips around 2020.     [player_tooltip player_id='215434' first='Emmy' last='McComas'] has been a huge part of the success of Iowa City High and [program_tooltip program_id='431948' first='Iowa' last='Rockets'] the past three seasons. She has racked up some big career numbers where she is nearing 1,000 kills and has already surpassed 1,000 digs. Her ability to play all the way around with a high IQ would set her up for success at the next level. I have seen McComas play in a showcase setting, high school setting, and club tournaments and her play is always consistent where she plays with a smile and has really strong on court intangibles.     I saw [player_tooltip player_id='437486' first='Olivia' last='Donovan'] play at the Iowa State Tournament last season and I was so impressed. She moves really well along the court, she has great hands, and always seems so composed in a big moment. She plays her club ball for Platform Elite in the Quad Cities and is a standout for Dubuque Wahlert where she has over 650 assists this season, leading her team to a 20-7 record where they have four athletes with over 100 kills on the season. The Golden Eagles are looking to get back to the state tournament to make some noise this season.
