With so much talent, there is plenty of which that is still uncalled for! There are some dandy 2026 and 2027 prospects coming to Louisville that you cannot miss out on. A huge chunk of them coming out of the Mitten state to the north. You cannot go wrong with a Michigan kid!</p>   <p>Take a look for yourself, 8 MORE of the top uncommitted prospects you need to check out at Bluegrass this weekend!</p>   <h2 class="wp-block-heading">[player_tooltip player_id='798138' first='Ruby' last='Pennala'] - Dynamite</h2>   <p>This libero is one of the most underrated ones the state has to offer in this 2026 class. [player_tooltip player_id='798138' first='Ruby' last='Pennala'] has all of the attributes needed to be a huge get at the next level. She's quick, she's scrappy and she is reading the game really well going into her last club season. Pennala in the back court brings a sense of consistency and balance to Dynamite that allows them to maintain competitive in big tournaments.</p>   <h2 class="wp-block-heading">[player_tooltip player_id='512395' first='Olivia' last='Strehl'] - Northshore</h2>   <p>The northwestern corner of Michigan has an abundance of volleyball talent but doesn't get nearly the amount of the love it deserves. Look no further at talented prospects than [player_tooltip player_id='512395' first='Olivia' last='Strehl'] out of Traverse City. Strehl is an outside hitter standing around 5'11. She gets off the ground well and has a nice whip of the arm. Strehl is a go to option for Northshore and delivers quite nicely.</p>   <h2 class="wp-block-heading">Brooklynn Brassard - FaR Out 17 Black</h2>   <p>Brooklynn Brassard is having herself one heck of a junior year. She wowed many throughout the fall with her eye popping play with Mattawan and she's only continued that in the early goings of the club season. Brassard is an explosive attacker with a growing range of shots. When she connects on the ball, it's an almost guaranteed point for 17 Black.</p>   <h2 class="wp-block-heading">[player_tooltip player_id='839515' first='Whitney' last='Swiercz'] - FaR Out 17 Black</h2>   <p>This player has been grinding away at her overall game coming into the club season. Throughout the fall with Hudsonville, [player_tooltip player_id='839515' first='Whitney' last='Swiercz'] found herself in a more first contact role as a DS. That move really helped elevate her overall game as a reliable six rotation player. Now, with FaR Out 17 Black, her touch in the back court and front court have become major factors in the team's success.</p>   <h2 class="wp-block-heading">Hayden Fausze - Toledo 17 Black</h2>   <p>We haven't talked too much about this prospect but coming into her junior year of club ball, Hayden Fausze is really coming into her own. As an outside hitter for both Bedford and TVC 17 Black, Fausze is developing a quite nice overall game. Her offensive range is impressive to watch grow and her touch in the reception line is making her become a player you can't take off the court.</p>   <h2 class="wp-block-heading">[player_tooltip player_id='555114' first='Jenna' last='Wiley'] - Team Pineapple 17 Black</h2>   <p>You may not know this player now, but get familiarized with her. [player_tooltip player_id='555114' first='Jenna' last='Wiley']'s stock is only going to continue to rise and rise. A product of the Battle Creek area, Wiley is playing her club ball with Team Pineapple where she finds herself the leading middle blocker for the group. This change in scenery is proving to be a good boost in level for her as Wiley is growing into a strong player in both her net defense and offensive production.</p>   <h2 class="wp-block-heading">[player_tooltip player_id='809922' first='Cara' last='Crittendon'] - FaR Out 17 Gold</h2>   <p>She left a huge impression on me, and many others, this fall battling with Byron Center. As one of the leading offensive weapons for the bulldogs, [player_tooltip player_id='809922' first='Cara' last='Crittendon'] helped lead her team to a first ever Final Four appearance in Division 1. Fast forward to now, Crittendon is offering all of that winning knowledge to FaR Out 17 Gold. Her dynamic nature on the right pin and ability to run a variety of routes helps 17 Gold get a leg up on their competition. </p>   <h2 class="wp-block-heading">[player_tooltip player_id='546053' first='Tamari' last='Wheatley'] - Michigan Elite 17 National West</h2>   <p>You look at her and you may think she is a bit undersized, but then you watch her take flight and swing through the ball and all of that goes out the window. [player_tooltip player_id='546053' first='Tamari' last='Wheatley'] is one of those fast twitched, frustrating players that can drive teams mad. Her athleticism shines through her play as she can get up into the air and get on top of the ball faster than most. She's also quite quick with taking space at the net with her block.</p>   <h2 class="wp-block-heading">--</h2>   <p><strong><em><a href="https://www.tiktok.com/@lshotvb/video/7608664736950963487?is_from_webapp=1&sender_device=pc&web_id=7597496589356025374">Check out the latest video from </a><a href="https://www.tiktok.com/@lshotvb/video/7612871256060251422?is_from_webapp=1&sender_device=pc&web_id=7597496589356025374"><mark>Sunshine Classic</mark></a><a href="https://www.tiktok.com/@lshotvb/video/7608664736950963487?is_from_webapp=1&sender_device=pc&web_id=7597496589356025374"> on Line Shot!!</a></em></strong></p>   <p></p>
