The summer season has zoomed past and we are well within the fall high school season.   Since our last update, the illusive June 15th date made its entrance and the 2028 class had a huge splash across the board. Outside of them, we have seen big time names from the 2027 class also make their mark on what's next.   In this update, we have a good mix of those June 15th announcements as well as some stellar 2027s that are going to be game changers at their respective committed programs. Take a look at who is going where below.   <h2 class="wp-block-heading">[player_tooltip player_id='512892' first='Brynn' last='Wilcox'] to Brandeis</h2>   5'7 S - Bloomfield Hills/Michigan Elite   Don't let the size fool you, because when you have a player that can dish, you have a player that can make a difference. For Byrnn Wilcox, this is exactly what you're getting. A game changer at the setting position that has defied the odds and made history in the process.   For Brandeis, this is a welcomed get to their 2027 recruiting class. Wilcox has really accumulated quite the prep career thus far and she is not done yet. In the high school scene, Wilcox was the unsung hero for Bloomfield Hills in leading the blackhawks to unprecedented post season heights. She would follow up her state championship appearance run last fall with a national championship runner up finish at AAU Nationals last June. This is simply a trait you cannot teach.   <h2 class="wp-block-heading">[player_tooltip player_id='586777' first='Nemiah' last='Carper'] to Northern Michigan </h2>   6'1 MB - Roscommon/Mid-Mich Aces   The talent coming out of this little town in Northern Michigan is what everybody wants to get their hands on. There will be remnants of Roscommon all throughout the GLIAC here in a few years time. From a duo of Ferris State commits, to now, [player_tooltip player_id='586777' first='Nemiah' last='Carper'] taking her skills further north to Marquette.   Carper is the kind of player that could really pay off well for the Northern Michigan program when she gets on campus. This is your typical uber athletic, raw, small town kid. The possibilities are endless and the ceiling is truly unknown. For NMU, a program consistently knocking at the door of the GLIAC title could use this kind of prospect and run with it.   <h2 class="wp-block-heading">[player_tooltip player_id='817193' first='Morgan' last='Pillon'] to Air Force </h2>   5'11 MB - Port Huron/BW Wave   Continuing on with the athletic dynamos in the state, look no further than [player_tooltip player_id='817193' first='Morgan' last='Pillon'] out of Port Huron. This is the kind of athlete that doesn't pop up too often, but could be a game changer at the next level. For Air Force, this is the kind of athlete that can come in and make some serious impact.   Pillon brings this incredibly dynamic nature to the court that can offer so many different things. While she can smash the ball extremely well in the middle, when you look at what makes up that success, one has to wonder what Pillon could do out on the pin. This is where the fun begins with an athlete like this. For Air Force, she could be a force to be reckoned with on all fronts of the game.   <h2 class="wp-block-heading">[player_tooltip player_id='569772' first='Lauren' last='Sheldon'] to Michigan State</h2>   6'0 MB/OPP - Stoney Creek/Legacy   Things we love to see is a program looking to go back to their roots and what made them successful. For Michigan State, it has always been keeping the in state talent in and showing them off on the national stage. For a consecutive class, the Spartan coaching staff are looking to continue that return to form. This time around looking out to the east and picking up this jack-of-all-trades in [player_tooltip player_id='569772' first='Lauren' last='Sheldon'].   Much like Pillon, what is the most perplexing (in the best way) about Sheldon is her ability to deliver at a high level in multiple positions. All throughout her prep career thus far, she has been a very dynamic presence in the middle. Sheldon was a great M1 with the abilities to take on high balls with ease. Starting this fall though, Sheldon is looking to focus her time solely on the pins. This just gives MSU even more depth on the roster and in a variety of positions.   <h2 class="wp-block-heading">[player_tooltip player_id='450415' first='Leah' last='Green'] to Hope College</h2>   5'9 MB/OH - Detroit Country Day/Legacy   Keep the trend going, these do-it-all athletes don't come around often, but we love when they do. For Hope College, they're looking at this double state champion in [player_tooltip player_id='450415' first='Leah' last='Green'] to bring those winning ways to Holland next fall.   Green is very similar to the previous two prospects mentioned as well. She has spent an entire career thus far playing in the middle, but when you peal back a layer and look at her overall game, it really lends itself well to the pins. On the high school side of things, Green has not only played middle, but played six rotations and has become a reliable passer for the Yellowjackets in their back-to-back run. This, plus her slight lack of size in the middle, could really see her elevate her own game moving to wings and I am sure Hope will waste no time utilizing Green's complete game in this sense.
