<p>March was a busy month, so Prospect Roulette had to take a backseat.</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>But, we're back in April with a chance to highlight some of the different prospects in the Class of 2028.</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Here's how it works. We take the 100 prospects in our Class of 2028 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>91. [player_tooltip player_id='845288' first='Bryleigh' last='Conner'], OH/MH FH Central/FaR Out</strong></h2>
<!-- /wp:heading -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Conner moves really well along the net, which allows her to play multiple positions. She times out her slide attacks well and can really unload on the ball when she gets those opportunities. She can put down a strong shot that can test the boundary lines and be tough to react to.</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:heading -->
<h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>2. [player_tooltip player_id='553151' first='Ashlyn' last='Pelon'], DS/L Marian/Legacy</strong></h2>
<!-- /wp:heading -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Pelon is a talented defender that has stepped up to an elite level in the past few years. She plays with a lot of maturity and poise, far greater than you'd expect from an underclassmen. There's not a moment where she looks lost or out of place. She can take on the biggest hitters and dig them up in a routine fashion.</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:heading -->
<h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>68. [player_tooltip player_id='746527' first='Evelyn' last='Engelhardt'], MB/OH Garber/Michigan Elite</strong></h2>
<!-- /wp:heading -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>This 6-footer has a lot of versatility in her play and good spring off the floor. She uses her length well to cover a lot of space, both on offense and defense. She can recognize where the ball needs to go and will adjust her attacks to find the spot. There's still plenty of potential for where she can take her game.</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:heading -->
<h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>34. [player_tooltip player_id='809569' first='Cambree' last='Krause'], OH/MH FH Central/FaR Out</strong></h2>
<!-- /wp:heading -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Krause shows good consistency with her attack. There's a steady level of power and she does a nice job of mixing up her locations. As she gets more reps in high-tempo sets, it's only going to unleash another gear in her swing.</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:heading -->
<h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>17. [player_tooltip player_id='850734' first='Kyla' last='Kuiper'], S Zeeland East/FaR Out</strong></h2>
<!-- /wp:heading -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Kuiper is a lengthy setter that plays loose and in control on the floor. She looks really comfortable directing traffic and puts up a smooth set that her hitters can power through. As she keeps stepping up in age and talent level, her speed and pace of play are picking up as well.</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:heading -->
<h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>8. [player_tooltip player_id='569767' first='Quinn' last='Nelson'], OH Marian/Legacy</strong></h2>
<!-- /wp:heading -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Nelson really made a big splash this fall with Marian and showed she can hold her own with any of the top hitters in the class. She's fearless at the net and shows some high-level defensive skills. Nelson has a big window of growth, as she's going to get a lot of opportunities to step up in high-pressure matches.</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:heading -->
<h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>71. [player_tooltip player_id='849252' first='Hannah' last='Vought'], MB/RS Rochester/Monsters</strong></h2>
<!-- /wp:heading -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>A lengthy hitter that can play the middle or the right side, Vought sees the court pretty well and does a nice job of fooling blockers. She's making improvements in her speed and intensity, which will help take her game to another level. Vought is a consistent blocker and will be a difference maker on defense.</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:heading -->
<h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>1. [player_tooltip player_id='574175' first='Payton' last='Woodruff'], S Country Day/Legacy</strong></h2>
<!-- /wp:heading -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>There's not much you need to say about Woodruff. She's ranked No. 1 in the class right now for a reason. She's got all the tools you want in a setter and a leader, which has shown in consecutive state championships with Country Day. Woodruff is a step ahead of the opponent at most times and can mix up her offense's pace of play in an effective manner.</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:heading -->
<h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>24. [player_tooltip player_id='560553' first='Macaire' last='Kudary'], OH/S TC Central/FaR Out</strong></h2>
<!-- /wp:heading -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Kudary is definitely one to watch. She's one of the stronger prospects to come from Northern Michigan. She has a great approach at the net with a technically smooth swing, but she also doesn't put up the same shot twice. Kudary mixes up her shot speeds and attack angles really well to rack up kills in bunches.</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:heading -->
<h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>51. [player_tooltip player_id='765793' first='Maya' last='Lorenzo'], DS/L Dakota/Michigan Elite</strong></h2>
<!-- /wp:heading -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Lorenzo has already put up some impressive numbers as a young libero and she's only going to get better. She has gotten to face a lot of the best hitters in the state and managed to dig many of them up. She's got consistent accuracy on her passes and serve receive, so look for her to keep making waves in the years ahead.</p>
