She's a big arm with a range of tools to be able to score from anywhere on the court and with a variety of shots. She's a six-rotation complete talent with ball control and ability to score through space and over the top of most blocks. Agnello is the #42 ranked prospect nationally and is committed to Missouri in the SEC.     Olson is the #2 ranked prospect in the class of 2028 in Illinois. At 5'11, her two-way action as a setter and attacker is impressive as she is athletic and dynamic in both phases. As a lefty hitter, she rises well and opens up to take swings with a lot of force on the ball. Her setting tools are fun to watch as she can make tough situations look routine in how she manages to get her hands on the ball with ability to set tempo and chuck it against the flow with good location.     Fleegle (*pictured) is the top-ranked DS/L in the 2027 Illinois class. Committed to Illinois State, she plays the libero role with great composure. Her vision and balance are matched by her expectation to have to pursue or play the ball at the first touch. She has other tools as well to contribute with her hands and in support of her teammates when taking big swings. At 5'4, her range of court coverage and overall impact are tangible for this team.     At 5'9, Wire can contribute to her team's effort and success in a variety of ways. The #22 Illinois prospect in the 2027 class, she can score offensively with her athletic approach and through good arm speed. Her first-touch action is efficient in her ball control as she moves efficiently with her feet and angle development. Her quickness and first step on the defensive side start her pursuit and help increase her range to keep the ball off the court.     Committed to Marshall University, Cieslinski is a versatile offensive prospect. At 6'0, she has quality tools in her ability to score at the pins and through middle options. This range of offense increases her opportunity to impact the game as she can shift from swinging through tempo at the pins to then run fast middle routes through various attack points in front or behind the setter with equally terminal results.
