2026 Prospect Roulette For May

<p>We move on to the Class of 2026 for our latest edition of Prospect Roulette.</p>   <p>Here's how it works: I'll pop up a random number generator that includes the 2026 rankings. I'll generate 10 numbers and the 10 that come up will be the ranking of the player. I'll then spotlight those players in the article to help give them some more attention.</p>   <p>There's 115 players ranked in our Class of 2026. Let's see who has the lucky numbers this month:</p>   <p><em>The </em><a href="https://events.prepdig.com/e/1124/register/michigan-freshman-showcase"><em>Michigan Freshman Showcase</em></a><em> and </em><a href="https://events.prepdig.com/e/1136/register/michigan-stock-up-showcase"><em>Michigan Stock Up Showcase</em></a><em> are coming to Pontiac on Aug. 4.

[player_tooltip player_id='261194' first='Marleigh' last='Hemstreet'], S/RS Linden/L2</strong></h2>   <p>Hemstreet is a setter/hitter combo. As a setter, she mixes up her speeds and a locations very well. She's got a nice touch that gives her hitters the opportunity to really put down a powerful swing. As a 5'10” hitter, Hemstreet does a good job of playing above the net and recognizing the holes in the defense. She's also a persistent blocker.</p>   <h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>38. [player_tooltip player_id='226887' first='Izzie' last='Delacher'], S Rockford/MVA</strong></h2>   <p>Delacher is another high-IQ setter that has a good feel for the game. She's able to quickly recognize where the ball needs to go, but also can mix-up the defenses and call her own number. She's a great leader on the floor that is able to bring the best out of her hitters and lift the energy level of her teammates.</p>   <h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>5. [player_tooltip player_id='226882' first='Karis' last='Chatfield'], OH Jenison/FaR Out</strong></h2>   <p>Chatfield is looking like one of the top prospects to come out of the Grand Rapids area. She brings a lot of intensity to the floor and is getting better with each match she plays. Her offensive production speaks for itself, but her defensive ability can't be overlooked either. She's got the overall technical skill to be a factor anywhere on the floor.</p>   <h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>84. [player_tooltip player_id='222698' first='Ashton' last='Ehle'], OH Ovid-Elsie/MVBTA</strong></h2>   <p>A nice outside prospect out of the Lansing area, Ehle has been a reliable source of offense for Ovid-Elsie. She showcases the ability to finish from the front row, or the back. She's patient with her attacks and makes smart plays as opposed to forcing power swings. Ehle also displays the ability to make some tough digs. She seems to rise to the occasion in pressure points.</p>   <h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>47. [player_tooltip player_id='243338' first='Addison' last='Dunning'], OH Davison/Five:1</strong></h2>   <p>Dunning is definitely a hidden gem among the outsides in this class. She's already shown that she's a player that can pile up the kills in short order. When she gets rolling, it's tough for anyone to slow her down. Dunning has a full arsenal of shot speeds and arm angles. Her athleticism allows her to make adjustments on the fly, as she usually can see where the ball needs to go.</p>   <h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>8. [player_tooltip player_id='446691' first='Taliyah' last='Hanks'], MH Loy Norrix/Dead Frog</strong></h2>   <p>Hanks is one of the most promising middles in the state. The 6'3” prospect from the Kalamazoo area is already besting some of the top middles from grades above. She's got the power and explosiveness that can compete with anyone, but she's adding in smart offspeed plays to really become a well-rounded hitter. Defensively, it's hard to compete with her blocking ability.</p>   <h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>58. [player_tooltip player_id='481384' first='Nadia' last='Prieditis'], OH Grand Haven</strong></h2>   <p>The Grand Haven sophomore has a unique swing, but she's found a way to make it work for her. Her biggest strength is her athleticism, as she's able to get a lot of lift off the floor. As a 6-footer, Prieditis plays well above the net and is able to power through blockers. As she develops her defensive play, Prieditis is sure to become a difference-maker.</p>   <h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>22. [player_tooltip player_id='226894' first='Gina' last='Fedrigo'], MH Eisenhower/Legacy</strong></h2>   <p>Fedrigo is really adding a lot of aspects to her game this club season as she competes with Legacy 16-1 ADIDAS, playing against many of the best players in the nation. Fedrigo really has become a difference-maker as a blocker and she also has come through with a timely kill in a close set. She can play at a very fast pace and has electric power.</p>   <h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>72. [player_tooltip player_id='446700' first='Liliana' last='Gegovic'], OH/MH Utica/Legacy</strong></h2>   <p>Gegovic can play anywhere along the net, but she's really hit her stride as a middle. She's very explosive off the floor and really knows how to come down over the top of the ball. When she's in sync with her setter, there is no stopping her from finishing the point. Her blocking ability has made strides as well, thanks mostly due to her relentless effort at the net.</p>   <h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>91. [player_tooltip player_id='490342' first='Sidney' last='Richmond'], DS/L TC Central/FaR Out</strong></h2>   <p>Richmond has shown she deserves to be mentioned among the top defenders in this class. She's playing with FaR Out 15 Black this club season and has been a dominant player in the back row. She's got a lot of comfort in her role, but is a great communicator and recognizes what she needs to do to make a tough dig very quickly. Her out-of-system feeds to her hitters are on point as well.</p>
