<p>The 2026 Rankings have been updated!</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>And while we are coming down to the wire and so many players in this class have committed and even signed with their next programs, there are still some incredibly talented players still up for grabs. </p>

<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Here are 11 of the top uncommitted student athletes in the 2026 class that you NEED to keep an eye on this club season. </p>

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">[player_tooltip player_id='586437' first='Madalin' last='Hersman'] - Forest Hills Northern/Legacy</h2>
<!-- /wp:heading -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>This is a really surprising one to me. [player_tooltip player_id='586437' first='Madalin' last='Hersman'] has been really making some noise for herself over the last 18 months or so. Hersman is one of those players that can just do it all. I have seen her attack from just about anywhere on the court, she can set and she also has some elite level ball control and defense. This past club season, she was playing up on Legacy's 18-1s and had an incredible outing as the team's libero, replacing <strong>Devin Dzienny</strong> in the role due to early grad. This fall, she was Forest Hills Northern secret weapon attacker. She was scoring from anywhere and everywhere on the court with ease. </p>

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">[player_tooltip player_id='446700' first='Liliana' last='Gegovic'] - Utica Eisenhower/Michigan Elite</h2>
<!-- /wp:heading -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Speaking of players who are jack of all trades, look no further than [player_tooltip player_id='446700' first='Liliana' last='Gegovic']! If you were to ask the question at the beginning of last club season, you'd know that she could jump out of the gym and she hit a HEAVY ball from anywhere along the net! This all remains to be true, but come to find out, this girl dishes some serious butter! She went from a starting middle on her club team at Legacy to running a 5-1 offense for that team. She'll be playing this season with Michigan Elite in an opposite role with lots of combination opportunities. </p>

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">[player_tooltip player_id='226887' first='Izzie' last='Delacher'] - Rockford/MVA</h2>
<!-- /wp:heading -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>It may be a good thing this setter hasn't been scooped up yet, because [player_tooltip player_id='226887' first='Izzie' last='Delacher'] has been playing her best ball to date this past fall. Her growth over the last few years has been nothing short of amazing to watch! With the hitters she has, it is easy to pad the stat sheets with great numbers. But you watch her in action and you understand Delacher does in fact better the ball and gives her team that extra oomph! She would be a wonderful late add to any program!</p>

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">[player_tooltip player_id='800645' first='Olivia' last='Beaudrie'] - SMCC</h2>
<!-- /wp:heading -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>It's still uncertain if this player is playing this club season due to being a multi-sport athlete, but let it be known, you CANNOT sleep on this one. Much like how we spoke of Hersman and Gegovic, [player_tooltip player_id='800645' first='Olivia' last='Beaudrie'] has also become one heck of a swiss army knife. While a libero at heart, this player can jump out of the gym and put some pop on her swings! In the most unconventional way, this 5'7 athlete led her team to their fourth Final Four in five years this past season as a SIX ROTATION MIDDLE BLOCKER! It was a recipe for success that not a single team in the state could quite find the answer to.</p>

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">[player_tooltip player_id='828524' first='Emma' last='Eldred'] - Tecumseh</h2>
<!-- /wp:heading -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>There may not be much of [player_tooltip player_id='828524' first='Emma' last='Eldred'] this coming club season, but its not to say that you shouldn't be seeking this one out to add to your college program. Eldred has become one of the premier outside hitters in Michigan over the last few years. With the help of others, she's led the way for Tecumseh in becoming a powerhouse program in Division 2. As a six rotation outside attacker, Eldred boasts elite level ball control and can carve out some very nice angles on attacks. </p>

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">[player_tooltip player_id='490036' first='Emma' last='Rosenow'] - Romeo/Michigan Elite</h2>
<!-- /wp:heading -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>While [player_tooltip player_id='490036' first='Emma' last='Rosenow'] has played the bulk of her career as an outside hitter, a place I could see this player seriously thrive is in the DS or Libero position! Rosenow is a solid, low error attacker. She sees the court well, has a nice pace to her ball, she could make a fantastic OH2. But her ball control is also top shelf! Her back court play is where she shines the brightest. Her ability to keep her teams in plays and better the ball is admirable.</p>

<!-- wp:heading -->
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">[player_tooltip player_id='537306' first='Annamarie' last='Myint'] - Dexter/Michigan Elite</h2>
<!-- /wp:heading -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>[player_tooltip player_id='537306' first='Annamarie' last='Myint'] is somewhat a late arriver onto the scene. These last 12 months have seen this player have incredible leaps in her game. With Michigan Elite in the club season, you really saw her defense and steadiness blossom throughout the year. She took all of that growth and development into her fall campaign with Dexter. The Dreadnoughts were one of the best teams in the state due in large part to Myint's relentlessness in the back court. </p>

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">[player_tooltip player_id='728154' first='Nikki' last='Fedewa'] - Pewamo Westphalia/Michigan Elite</h2>
<!-- /wp:heading -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>[player_tooltip player_id='728154' first='Nikki' last='Fedewa'] is another player who has really become a strong presence as of late in her career. This 6'2 middle blocker has become a staple for one of the strongest programs in Division 3 with Pewamo-Westphalia. Her blocking is a force at the net and she is continuing to develop her range as an attacker in the middle as well. This coming club season will be her first at a high level. It will be very telling her barometer for next level placement, but I wouldn't be surprised to her game flourish further.</p>

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">[player_tooltip player_id='490342' first='Sidney' last='Richmond'] - Traverse City Central/Northshore</h2>
<!-- /wp:heading -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>[player_tooltip player_id='490342' first='Sidney' last='Richmond'] is an under the radar kind of player, however a very surprising one that has not found her spot on a collegiate roster yet. She's coming off of an incredible senior season with Traverse City Central where she earned all state honors and led TCC to another D1 Quarterfinal appearance. Richmond reads the game well, has a crisp touch on the ball and could really transition into a strong collegiate presence as a defensive specialist or libero.</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:heading -->
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">[player_tooltip player_id='400074' first='Sable' last='Dankers'] - Traverse City Central/Northshore</h2>
<!-- /wp:heading -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Much like her teammate, Richmond, [player_tooltip player_id='400074' first='Sable' last='Dankers'] is a seriously underrated prospect at the middle blocker position. Watching her develop throughout the course of her career, Dankers has become a real potential when it comes to next level prospects. She has an electric whip of an arm and can run a variety of routes along the net. </p>

<!-- wp:heading -->
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">[player_tooltip player_id='586763' first='Amilia' last='Ashcroft'] - Milford/L2</h2>
<!-- /wp:heading -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Speaking of under the radar players that could really elevate any program she ends up on, its [player_tooltip player_id='586763' first='Amilia' last='Ashcroft']. Watching her throughout the latter parts of the club season and well throughout her high school season, Ashcroft has become a favorite to watch demand the court. In the back court, she's relentless, scrappy and brings a strong leadership. Despite her inability to score, Ashcroft keeps her teams going against the toughest of opponents and elevates the game.</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:heading -->
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">[player_tooltip player_id='442613' first='Lily' last='Sukup'] - Goodrich/Five:1</h2>
<!-- /wp:heading -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>This outside hitter has really become a demonstrative attacker in the last year or so of her prep career. [player_tooltip player_id='442613' first='Lily' last='Sukup'] has grown a tough arm to compete against. She hits the ball with a lot of pop and has grown a nice range of shots. Sukup is the type of diamond in the rough that a collegiate program could find themselves very lucky to have landed.</p>
