Stock Up Showcase Preview: 2026 Prospects

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>The Michigan Stock Up Showcase is set to take place in Pontiac this Sunday.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>A lot of talented prospects will be looking to show their growth over the last year.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Included in this year's lot is a handful of 2026 prospects that have all done a nice job of elevating their play since we last saw them.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Here's a look at some of the 2026 talents that come into the showcase with plenty of buzz.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:heading --> <h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='586761' first='Alexis' last='Carper'], OH/MB Roscommon</strong></h2> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Carper is a true diamond in the rough. Playing in Northern Michigan, not as many eyes have been able to see her talents, but she is definitely a player that brings a great skillset to the court. Carper has shown she can play anywhere along the net and deliver powerful attacks with efficiency. She's got good timing on her swings and a lot of arm speed. However, she's not just a power player. Carper also makes a lot of smart plays, both at the net and defensively. She's a high IQ player that knows how to make an impact.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:heading --> <h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='261175' first='Kendal' last='Quain'], S Marysville</strong></h2> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Quain is a setter that is also capable of being a combo player. In either instance, Quain has a great feel for the game and knows when to make an aggressive play. Her understanding of the game and comfortability on the court allows her to be a great leader that teammates feed off of. As a setter, she's really smooth in her delivery and accuracy, but also plays deceptively. As an attacker, Quain shows a great mix of shots and speeds.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:heading --> <h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='726490' first='Nevaeh' last='Plaster'], OH GR Northview</strong></h2> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Plaster <a href="https://prepdig.com/2025/07/pin-attackers-hammering-away-at-the-stock-up-showcase/">made a splash at the Indiana Showcase</a> just last week, which isn't a big surprise here. Plaster has been putting in the work to improve her stock in Michigan and it is showing in her performances throughout club season and on the Expo circuit. She is one of the most powerful hitters that will be on display this weekend. Plaster brings a physical and confident game to the net and she isn't going to back down from a challenge. Her finishing rates have continued to improve, and she has the drive to keep raising her game to another level.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:heading --> <h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='706598' first='Soniah' last='Robinson'], OH Woodhaven</strong></h2> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Robinson really pushed herself in the last year and it led to a commitment to Aquinas. But, Robinson isn't satisfied and keeps grinding to be the most impactful player she can be this fall. Though listed at 5'7”, Robinson plays much bigger at the net. Her explosiveness off the floor allows her to bring down the hammer and power through blockers. She's got a lot of hang time, which also allows her to adjust her swing when needed and score with offspeed shots.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
