The club season is in full swing and so are some of the top prospects that Michigan has to offer!</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>We are back channeling on close to 3-4 months on commitments here. As the shift from the HS to Club season began, we saw a lot of fun names pop up and claim their spot on a roster at the next level. As the year unfolds and the closer we get to summer time, don't be surprised to see many more names announce their next move!</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>For now, let's take a look at some of five seniors who have found their spot and where they will be attending in the fall!</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:heading --> <h2 class="wp-block-heading">[player_tooltip player_id='459245' first='Kate' last='Schneider'] to Aquinas</h2> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>6'1 MB - L'Anse Creuse North/Crank It</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>This is a great get for one of the top programs in the NAIA space. [player_tooltip player_id='459245' first='Kate' last='Schneider'] was looking to have potential as one of the top prospects in the 2025 class in the midst of her prep career. A strong 6'1 MB with a lot of pop in her hop, she's shown her ceiling is much farther than anyone could guess. On the heels of her high school career, Schneider announced her commitment to the NAIA powerhouse on the west side of Michigan which looks like a very fitting school for her to thrive further.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:heading --> <h2 class="wp-block-heading">Natalie West to Aquinas</h2> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>5'11 OH - Livonia Stevenson/Force</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Aquinas doubles up on the underrated fire power in the 2025 class. Natalie West is a prospect in this class that has really come onto the game STRONG over the last year or so in her prep career. At 5'11, West has an increasing vertical and strong arm to thunder in a point. West, much like Schneider, could be a game changer for this program with her rather raw, untapped talent!</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:heading --> <h2 class="wp-block-heading">[player_tooltip player_id='357522' first='Bella' last='Colon'] to Northwood</h2> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>5'8 OH - Troy/L2</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Northwood has entered the chat with a pair of emerging prospects for their 2025 class. [player_tooltip player_id='357522' first='Bella' last='Colon'] has been a steady force for her respective teams in the hs and club scene. A small, yet springy jumper, Colon brings a lot of versatility to the court. Her quick twitched nature could translate extremely well to a mighty attacker or a strong defender for the Timberwolves.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:heading --> <h2 class="wp-block-heading">[player_tooltip player_id='732233' first='Madelyn' last='Torola'] to Michigan Tech</h2> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>6'1 OPP - Calumet</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>This may be one of my favorite, under the radar, athletes in the 2025 class. When it comes to the UP volleyball scene, they're very few and far between. But Torola has managed to emerge as one of the biggest players from the peninsula. She's a lengthy lefty, standing at 6'1 and an even longer wingspan with a huge upside. There's no telling where she could be after a season or two with the Huskies, one of the top programs in the GLIAC.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:heading --> <h2 class="wp-block-heading">[player_tooltip player_id='156282' first='Jessica' last='Lee'] to Georgetown</h2> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>5'8 DS/L - Ann Arbor Skyline/Legacy</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Speaking of players having big time senior years, [player_tooltip player_id='156282' first='Jessica' last='Lee'] has really bursted onto the scene at the right time. Following a top notch senior season at Skyline that saw Lee and the Eagles dismantle SEC foes Saline in the District rounds, Lee announced her next moves to Hoya Land. Since then, she has continued to impress and show why she can be a power player for Georgetown. As an impact DS and often times found in the libero jersey, Lee has been finding a lot of success on Legacy's 18-1s.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
