<p>March's edition of Prospect Roulette now moves on to the Class of 2026, a very deep and talented group.</p>

<p>Here's how it works: I'll pop up a random number generator that includes the 2026 rankings. I'll generate 10 numbers and the 10 that come up will be the ranking of the player. I'll then spotlight those players in the article to help give them some more attention.</p>

<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>There's 173 ranked prospects in our Class of 2026. Let's see which lucky ones got their number drawn this month.</p>

<h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>48. [player_tooltip player_id='240701' first='Giselle' last='Burlingame'], DS/L Northville/L2</strong></h2>
<!-- /wp:heading -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Burlingame got her chance to step up for Northville this fall and did so, helping the Mustangs collect the Division 1 state title. This club season with L2, Burlingame has been an absolute dig machine. Her instincts are on point and she's playing with a lot of confidence. She's doing everything you can ask for as a libero.</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:heading -->
<h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>56. [player_tooltip player_id='555634' first='Kennedy' last='Hinkle'], MB Stevenson/Michigan Elite</strong></h2>
<!-- /wp:heading -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Hinkle can play anywhere along the net and be impactful. She's got an upright swing that generates consistent power and challenges the defenders. Hinkle stays alert and shows the kind of footwork that allows her to put a good swing on the ball from anywhere on the floor.</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:heading -->
<h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>170. [player_tooltip player_id='732290' first='Abigail' last='Hoag'], OH Eaton Rapids/FaR Out</strong></h2>
<!-- /wp:heading -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Hoag can put the ball away from either pin. She's got a lot of acceleration at the end of her swing that puts a lot of pop on the ball. She's doing a great job of playing cross-court shots and finding openings in the defense.</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:heading -->
<h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>126. [player_tooltip player_id='438529' first='Mckenna' last='Boykin'], MB/RS Portland/Domination</strong></h2>
<!-- /wp:heading -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Boykin is getting a lot of good opportunities this club season and showing she can be an offensive leader from the middle or the right side. She's making a lot of good adjustments mid-swing, to put the ball home, but also improving on coming down over the top of the ball on a clean look.</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:heading -->
<h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>15. [player_tooltip player_id='226876' first='Finley' last='Arp'], OH South Christian/FaR Out</strong></h2>
<!-- /wp:heading -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>The Grand Valley State commit has been putting the ball away from both pins this club season and is able to really attack the sidelines with a lot of velocity. Arp moves smoothly in her approach to the net, and also is proving to be a defensive asset.</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:heading -->
<h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>74. [player_tooltip player_id='481384' first='Nadia' last='Prieditis'], OH Grand Haven/MVA</strong></h2>
<!-- /wp:heading -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Prieditis spreads the ball out really well in her attacks. She doesn't hit the same spot twice, but has the ability to finish from the front or back row. She's got an aggressive swing that makes it difficult for blockers to stuff.</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:heading -->
<h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>119. [player_tooltip player_id='490352' first='Kyli' last='Geoghan'], OH/DS Mona Shores/FaR Out</strong></h2>
<!-- /wp:heading -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>A left-handed hitter, Geoghan does a nice job of being able to climb the ladder to high point the volleyball on her attacks. As a defender, she's also comfortable taking swings from the back row. Geoghan moves smoothly and with purpose as a defender and never looks caught off guard by an attack.</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:heading -->
<h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>93. [player_tooltip player_id='489427' first='Victoria' last='Weingartz'], DS/S Romeo/Michigan Elite</strong></h2>
<!-- /wp:heading -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>A diverse talent that can take the lead of an offense or a defense, Weingartz shows a high court IQ and great leadership skills to be able to play setter or libero with effectiveness. She stays light on her feet and adapts well to whatever comes her way. To excel at both spots, you need strong technique, which she has.</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:heading -->
<h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>3. [player_tooltip player_id='226886' first='Gabby' last='DiVita'], OH Grosse Pointe South/Legacy</strong></h2>
<!-- /wp:heading -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>The Nebraska commit has been one of the most productive players in this class. She's a natural for coming through with a big kill and she's someone that wants the ball coming her way during a crucial point. DiVita has been up against the biggest competition in the country and came out on top time and again.</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:heading -->
<h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>22. [player_tooltip player_id='226894' first='Gina' last='Fedrigo'], RS Eisenhower/Legacy</strong></h2>
<!-- /wp:heading -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>A commit to Florida International, Fedrigo has proven to be one of the best right sides in the country. She's an electric hitter that can send torpedoes over the net. She embraces her role well, coming through with timely kills, or a key block during pressure points in the match.</p>
