Recruiting Notepad : 2027 Impactful and Undecided

The 2027 class continues to rise, and several undecided prospects are beginning to separate themselves with their development, versatility, and long-term projection. As the Club season progresses, more film develops and gyms I enter. This edition of Tobias Notes: 2027 Recruiting highlights athletes whose stock is climbing fast, players showing growth, polish, and college-ready tools that deserve attention now rather than later.    Elle is skillful, smart, and aware, constantly making heady plays that elevate her entire game. At 6'0", with a wingspan that feels as long as a fighter jet, she brings real presence and projects as a true specimen-type athlete. Her length and fluidity make her a matchup problem from the moment she steps on the court. Elle takes strong, disciplined strides into her approach, and you can usually assume a powerful swing is coming, and most times, you'd be right. But that's where the uniqueness in her game shines. She mixes tempo, angles, and shot selection with maturity, hitting down the line with confidence and tooling the block with precise, intentional contact. She understands how to score, not just how to swing hard. In the back row, Elle shows the same level of commitment. Her hustle, coverage instincts, and grit stand out, making her a true six-rotation possibility competitor with value beyond the pin. With [program_tooltip program_id='431567' first='Adversity' last=''] VBC, she's a prospect worth circling. Her stock at the PIN position is rising quickly and for good reason.     This is exactly what you want to see from a developing athlete's growth. Watching her clips and Hudl, the progression in her game is clear. Her explosiveness, improved footwork, and her ability to attack from both the Outside and Right-side show just how versatile she's becoming. At 6'0", she's actively working to round out her skill set and build toward becoming the complete package. Her approach footwork is sound, and her swing has taken another step forward. She gets on top of the ball consistently and adjusts to different set tempos with ease. There's control and confidence in how she contacts the ball, and she's showing she can be effective from multiple zones. Playing for [program_tooltip program_id='430006' first='Illini' last='Elite'], she'll be on full display with plenty of opportunities to be seen, evaluated, and appreciated for the player she's becoming. And based on her current trajectory, she's only trending upward.     Avalyn is a true 5–1 setter, steady, composed, and fully in command of her offense. Playing for [program_tooltip program_id='481720' first='Sports' last='Performance Volleyball'], she consistently adapts to her hitters, delivering well-placed balls that give them the best possible chance to score. She's smart, skilled, and capable of adjusting on the fly, exactly the qualities you want leading your system. Her jump sets carry great arc and tempo, and she's quick and confident with her back sets, placing them right into her hitter's hands. Avalyn's hands are steady, her touch is clean, and her decision-making stands out. She doesn't just run the offense; she reads the floor, manipulates blockers, and isn't afraid to beat you herself with timely, heads-up dumps. Avalyn sets the table beautifully, controlling rhythm, flow, and opportunity. And just as importantly, she's beginning to use this gift as a prospect who's growing, improving, and becoming someone to keep firmly on the radar.     At times, we tend to overlook the athletes who are “solid” and “sound.” Observers chase the flashy plays, the big moments, the loud highlight. But the real WOW often comes from being fundamentally sharp, technically disciplined, and consistently reliable. Meet Summer, a player who can WOW you, but more importantly, is too sound in her game to ever be overlooked. She's a big, impactful middle who reads the game well and makes strong plays at the net, collecting blocks and touches that change the flow of a match. Her explosiveness allows her to cover pin‑to‑pin defensively, and she uses that same burst in her attack. Running 1s and 31s, she gets off the floor quickly and delivers powerful, clean swings. Summer is locked in and ready for her season. Take note, she's a prospect trending upward and a middle you don't want to bypass.     Taylor is an agile, highly versatile middle the kind who makes the game fun, and sometimes complicated, for setters. She's the middle who's asking for the ball just as often as the pins, and honestly, you want to let her go rip it. Her athleticism demands involvement. Taylor is bouncy and explosive, able to get off the floor on a dime and deliver swings that are both forceful and precise. She can take the ball right out of the setter's hands when timing requires it, or go chase it down on a slide and still finish with intention. Her range is impressive, and she scores in multiple ways. Defensively, her athleticism and footwork allow her to move pin‑to‑pin on the block without hesitation. She closes space quickly, reads well, and uses her mobility to make plays many middles don't get to. [program_tooltip program_id='429175' first='VC' last='United'] has a good one, a middle jumping all over the court and, without question, onto your notepad.    📧 For inquiries, connections, or coverage opportunities: Visit PrepDig.com   Follow on Socials: • IG: @PrepDigTobias • TikTok: @tobiaswalkeac • X: @PrepDigTobias | @TobiasWalk
