<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Still planning to register? Use code KassExpo2024 for $10 off!</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>The Top 250 Expo is coming up quickly, and the class of 2026 is showing up huge. Some of the 2026s were covered in my first article, linked below:</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><a href="https://prepdig.com/2024/11/top-250-preview-8-athletes-you-cant-miss/">Top 250 Preview: 8 Athletes You Can't Miss</a></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>This article will focus specifically on the class of 2026 and the competition they will bring to the 2nd session of the Top 250 Expo. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["487030"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-673d240928bba"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Sadie had a huge high school season and is primed to be a huge asset for [program_tooltip program_id='432005' first='Madtown' last='Juniors'] 17-1. Sadie earned Division 1 All-State Honorable Mention, which is a huge accomplishment. She was a player on the rise during the last club season, and it seems Sadie has really found her rhythm as a 6-rotation outside hitter. If her huge success during the high school season is any indication, we will be hearing Sadie's name a lot in the coming season. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["522159"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-673d240928c0f"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Tyler is a 2026 with huge potential. She is a naturally talented blocker. Playing 47 sets for Wisconsin Lutheran this season, Tyler contributed 33 blocks. She is an impact player at the net and an athlete who is continuously improving. This club season could be a breakout year for Tyler, and it will be awesome to see her at the Top 250 Expo. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["388594"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-673d4da19135c"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Danica is a dynamic athlete. She is listed as a middle but played multiple roles for her high school team. What makes her so valuable is her court awareness. She can swing across the net and make smart shots. Her ability to execute in multiple positions is a huge asset on the court and one that is sure to stand out at the Top 250 Expo. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["502034"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-673d4da1913ab"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Lily is a player to watch. She had a solid high school season and is looking to continue that momentum through the Expo and into the club season. Lily is an offensive weapon in the front row and is a player to keep an eye on in the class of 2026. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["435360"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-673d4da1913ee"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Rebecca is a high-flying and explosive pin hitter who can take massive rips on the ball. She is a player who can grab your attention early and continue to catch your eye throughout an event like the Expo. Rebecca has attended our events before and will be a player to watch for her power and overall disciplined play. She brings a lot of fire to the court and could be a huge pick-up for a college program. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["485676"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-673d4da19142e"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Penelope is a clean and disciplined libero who will be a huge asset to the Expo. She brings a competitive edge and a lot of grit to her play. Penelope really adjusts well to the play around her. She is a solid libero who elevates the game of those she plays with and is a natural leader on the court. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->
