Seven More Terminal Attackers In The Illinois Class of 2027

The Illinois Class of 2027 rankings have been released and is filled with talented athletes who are sure to make an impact for their high school and club teams over the next year.  Her are seven attackers to know that have already made an impact in their state with plenty more to come.     The upside for Robinson is pretty scary as a six rotation outside hitter. She has plenty of length and is so fundamentally sound when it comes to being able to serve receive, pass, and she has great footwork in getting her feet to the ball and contacting high. She is having a big high school season so far for Durand who is sitting at 16-4 so far with Robertson averaging nearly six kills per set which is one of the tops in the state. She has been a key piece of the success for [program_tooltip program_id='429175' first='VC' last='United'] out of Rockford and will be one college coaches will be tracking in 2025.       Grevengoed is part of a very talented Michio squad that has plenty of athletes in our 2027 rankings. She is a six rotation outside hitter who can find ways to score points. Her last two steps into contacting the ball are textbook where she can accelerate into high contact point, allowing her to take it a variety of angles. She is someone who can score out of system in the front and backrow. She is averaging over four kills per set for Chicago Christian this fall.       [player_tooltip player_id='325557' first='Bobbi' last='Wire'] is lightning in a bottle where she is an electric outside hitter. Wire preps at Crystal Lake South and plays for a really athletic [program_tooltip program_id='432009' first='Sky' last='High'] team for club ball. On the pin she takes a fast approach and has a violent swing creating chaos on the other side of the net. She swings with no fear and always brings an aggressive style to her team. Wire also has a top notch backcourt game where she can handle a high volume of serve receive, takes pace off a hard swing, and can score points from the backrow as well. She will be a utility type player at the next level where she will have plenty of options.       [player_tooltip player_id='529833' first='Taylor' last='Carroll'] is another up and coming attacker for 1st Alliance who is also having a big high school season for Lyons Township. She is averaging just over 3.5 kills per set in her sophomore year. Carroll has plenty of length and athleticism that allows her to score from the outside and right side. She poses a threat with her block as well. As her backcourt game continues to develop, she will be a six rotation scoring machine. Her upside is promising and is showing plenty of potential this fall and will be exciting to see on the club courts in 2025.       [player_tooltip player_id='529945' first='Caroline' last='Wright'] is an imposing threat out of the middle. She was a standout for [program_tooltip program_id='431567' first='Adversity' last=''] 15 Adidas all season and our Prep Dig Scouts took note of her at the Prep Dig Gauntlet this past June. Wright is able to connect well on a quick tempo out of the setters hand and knows how to avoid the block going to the corners. She is a big time threat with her block as well, causing the other side to think twice.       On the Western side of the state is Navaeh Hauber who preps at Galena High School, the defending Class 1A state champions. Hauber played club ball for Six Pack out Cedar Falls, Iowa. She has plenty of length and a fast arm. She played out of the middle this past club season, but I'd be really curious to see what she could do on the pin. She can pose a threat blocking, but she also has the ability to be a terminal attacker from multiple spots on the court.       [player_tooltip player_id='530741' first='Kate' last='Andersons'] had a big club season for MOD 15 Elite who definitely turned heads in 2024. Andersons is a high flying outside hitter who is extremely terminal. She can blast away going cross court, use the block to her advantage, and is creative with her shot making ability. There is a spring in her step that is just different that others. She will be one to watch in her 16s season in 2025.

The Illinois Class of 2027 rankings have been released and is filled with talented athletes who are sure to make an impact for their high school and club teams over the next year. Her are seven attackers to know that have already made an impact in their state with plenty more to come.
