Class of 2026 Prospect Roulette For February

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>It's been a while since we have tapped into our Prospect Roulette, but now feels like a great time for a refresher.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Here's how it works. We take the 246 prospects in our Class of 2026 and randomize the numbers. Whatever 10 numbers get landed on, we provide a little info on that player. Let's get things started.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:heading --> <h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>108. [player_tooltip player_id='916013' first='Hannah' last='Thomas'], MB North Branch</strong></h2> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Thomas had a strong senior season for North Branch as it was one of the top teams in Division 2. She really improved her finishing rate in her senior year, providing a lot of consistency in the middle. Her serving was also a big strength for the Broncos.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:heading --> <h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>33. [player_tooltip player_id='220968' first='Quinn' last='Yenshaw'], OH TC St. Francis/FaR Out</strong></h2> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>The Traverse City St. Francis prospect landed a home with New Haven to play college volleyball. She's got a lot of intangibles you look for in a player, as she has the length and athleticism to control the net, but also the work ethic and drive to be a standout defender.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:heading --> <h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>61. [player_tooltip player_id='261175' first='Kendal' last='Quain'], S Marysville/Crank It</strong></h2> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>A Hope College commit, Quain is coming off a great fall for Marysville. She has the versatility to play as a combo player, as she can put the ball down on an attack as well. Quain looks comfortable in any role she's asked to play and has the court IQ to excel at any of those positions.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:heading --> <h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>89. [player_tooltip player_id='839890' first='Skyye' last='Frailey'], OH/DS Troy Athens/Monsters</strong></h2> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>A Wayne State commit, Frailey has put in the work to become a complete, six-rotation outside hitter. She's become just as capable with her defensive play as she is with her attacks.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:heading --> <h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>242. [player_tooltip player_id='916043' first='Maddy' last='Mitchell'], MB/OH Kent City</strong></h2> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Mitchell had a really strong fall season where she was able to rack up the kills. She was seeing the court well and finding new arm angles to be effective. She wasn't afraid to mix it up against the best and prove she's got the skills to be a difference maker.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:heading --> <h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>40. [player_tooltip player_id='631464' first='Mya' last='Eberlein'], MB/RS Edwardsburg/NIVA</strong></h2> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>A 6'3” power arm that can play anywhere along the net, Eberlein is heading to Eastern Michigan where she could set the MAC on fire. She's got elite length, but the footwork and explosiveness to make that length even more difficult to deal with.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:heading --> <h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>210. [player_tooltip player_id='505958' first='Sarah' last='Simonis'], DS/L Petoskey/Northshore</strong></h2> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Simonis doesn't take a play off. She's very active and alert in the back row, which allows her to rack up dozens of digs per set. Simonis stays light on her feet and anticipates the ball well to make sure she can be in as good of position as possible.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:heading --> <h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>122. [player_tooltip player_id='446706' first='Payton' last='Nelson'], OH/DS Lakeland/High Performance</strong></h2> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Nelson is a 6'1” athlete that can play anywhere around the floor. She's defensively got the arm power to be a dominant hitter, but then displays great defensive commitment to keep the ball off the floor. Her transition time is quick, and her impact time is even quicker.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:heading --> <h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>8. [player_tooltip player_id='226900' first='Liv' last='Hosford'], OH Rockford/MVA</strong></h2> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Hosford had a stellar run at Rockford, which led to her committing to Oakland University. Hosford was a workhorse in all areas of the game and gave the Rams everything they needed in terms of attacks, defense, and serving. She will continue that success at the next level.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:heading --> <h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>14. [player_tooltip player_id='446702' first='Elise' last='Hiemstra'], OH Country Day/Legacy</strong></h2> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Hiemstra led Country Day to back-to-back state champions and is now going to be a great asset for Columbia. She stepped up in some pressure situations during the postseason and found another gear for her play. Still, her poise and balance of play are some of her biggest strengths.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
