Uncommitted Juniors with Next Level Impact Potential

Here are five 2026 prospects currently uncommitted that have good skills and even more potential to be an impact contributor at the next level.     Semona is going to be a high quality pick up at the next level as she has the physical frame and aggressive arm to make an offensive impact, and her size is a huge asset defensively through both pins. Her approach work is sound in serve receive and transition with good momentum build. But, it is in her work in the air that can impress as when she has good space and awareness of the defense in front of her she can move the ball around to expose edges, finding space, or by challenging the block without losing much of her power through that action.     Whitner returns to AVC's top team in her age group and will once again lead their effort in the middle phase of the game. She is athletic and explosive, which washes out what might be considered an undersized frame for the position at 5'10 when considering the elite next-level programs. Her quickness laterally when blocking and her ability to get up off the floor offensively can create some big highlights for her and her team as her movement, rhythm, and skills have an emphatic quality. The tempo and timing in AVC's middle offense with her is often tough to defend. She is fun to watch and it will be interesting to see where she ends up committing for the next level.     Hutchinson is an athlete with a big jump and the ability to score with good arm control and movement of the ball in the air. Her impact increases when she gets her shoulders open and elbow back, which can make a big difference in the pace of her contact. Competing for [program_tooltip program_id='430852' first='Tri-State' last='Elite'] 17 Blue, she is coming off a solid performance at the Nike Classic as a six-rotation primary pin. She contributed in all phases of the game at the net, out of the back row, and from the service line. Hutchinson is athletic and can make things happen and it will be fun to track her progress and impact as the club season gets further into national-level events.     The 6'0 Herzog is a nice complement to other offensive weapons this [program_tooltip program_id='431827' first='Elevation' last=''] squad has. She can hold her own in the middle on both sides of the ball. Over recent cycles of club and high school, she has developed a broader range of offense that can result in some big pace coming off her arm. Defensively, she moves well laterally and can get up quickly to fill up space at the net. These upgrades in her game should help get her further on the radar for recruiting purposes.     Kennelly (*pictured) is a dynamite libero prospect with no fear to step in the path of the biggest attackers across the net. She is a critical piece to both her teams that are part of her high school to club cycle. She helped guide Anthony Wayne to a state runner-up finish and is likely to assume the primary libero role for next fall. Her TVC team is one of the most competitive in their age group in Ohio and accomplished a lot last season with her holding down the leadership and team effort in the first contact phase. Her read and react skills help her create a lot of good opportunities for their offense.     Geiger is certain to make her way into the rankings for this class and will likely land in the upper tier given her size and what she can do with her arm offensively. She led North Royalton with 3.3 k/s on a total of 269 kills and a team best .422 efficiency. Defensively, she earned a career best 2.7 b/m. She makes the jump to AVC's Red squad in her age group after competing for their second-level squad at 16's last year. Geiger moves well around her setter and continues to develop good timing to run a very fast and varied middle tempo, adding depth and a different look from the position in comparison to her teammates.
