March’s Class of 2027 Prospect Roulette

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>We conclude a week of Prospect Roulette with the Class of 2027, a class that is stacked with promising talent.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Here's how it works: I'll pop up a random number generator that includes the 110 players in the 2027 rankings. I'll generate eight numbers and the eight 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 --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Let's see who has the lucky numbers for this month's edition:</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:heading --> <h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>63. [player_tooltip player_id='454377' first='Erica' last='Heffner'], OH TC Central/Northshore</strong></h2> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Heffner is a hitter that is able to make the most out of her attempts. Even when a ball is out-of-system, or she is a little crowded at the net, Heffner still puts an aggressive ball in play and never makes it easy for her opponents. She also shows a lot of endurance to come through with powerful swings late in a match.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:heading --> <h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>9. [player_tooltip player_id='493481' first='Camille' last='Robinson'], OH Harper Creek/FaR Out</strong></h2> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>It's easy to be in awe of how the ball flies off Robinson's hand. She's got a powerful finish to her swing and she can rack up highlight-reel kills in quick fashion. Not only can her attacks score, but they provide a lot of energy to her teammates. As she continues to add to the other areas of her game, Robinson will become more and more of a top prospect.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:heading --> <h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>54. [player_tooltip player_id='456251' first='Alexa' last='Turner'], S SMCC/Athlete HQ</strong></h2> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Turner is doing a great job of running her offense for Athlete HQ. Coming off a championship last weekend, Turner has been spreading the ball out well to her hitters and looking more and more like an on-court leader each match. This next year should be a big opportunity for Turner to show where she stands amongst the Class of 2027.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:heading --> <h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>36. [player_tooltip player_id='471313' first='Nellie' last='Alves'], S Novi/L2</strong></h2> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>The 6-foot Alves is a promising prospect that brings a lot of intangibles to the position that are hard to coach. She looks natural pushing a fast pace and has a good sense of when to be aggressive and when to call her own number. Along with steady defensive play, Alves also has a great serve that can change the momentum of a match.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:heading --> <h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>89. [player_tooltip player_id='535295' first='Paisley' last='Schumacher'], S Beal City/MidMichigan Aces</strong></h2> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>A gritty player with a well-rounded game, Schumacher has been a great asset to her teams, as she's not one that gets rattled or makes many technical mistakes. She stays composed on the floor and shows a wide array of sets and hits her locations consistently to get the most out of her hitters.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:heading --> <h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>22. [player_tooltip player_id='454359' first='Elise' last='Biermann'], OH Eisenhower/Michigan Elite</strong></h2> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>This nearly 6-foot outside shows a well-rounded game and has the ability to put a team on her back. She's got a nice mixture of swing speeds while being able to place the ball in tight spots. Defensively, she's aggressive and willing to take some bumps and bruises to come through with a play. There's not many weaknesses to her game.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:heading --> <h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>47. [player_tooltip player_id='442973' first='Brooklyn' last='Rummler'], MB Stoney Creek/Legacy</strong></h2> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>A 6'2” middle that is approaching 6'3”, Rummler already has some elite length, but she combines that with quickness and agility to make her a prospect that has a very high ceiling. Rummler's swing is smooth and delivers great power. She's been tested against many of the best around the country, and is learning from those experiences to become a standout in her own right.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:heading --> <h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>70. [player_tooltip player_id='523867' first='Miranda' last='Polley'], MH/RS Frankenmuth/Michigan Elite</strong></h2> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Polley can be a very explosive hitter at the net when her timing is on point. She swings with a lot of aggression, but also has the ability to adjust to the ball mid-flight. As her timing gets more consistent, she should make a big step as a prospect.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
