January’s Class of 2026 Prospect Roulette

<p>The return of Prospect Roulette now moves on to the Class of 2026, a very deep and talented group.</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 173 ranked prospects in our Class of 2026. Let's see which lucky ones got their number drawn this month.</p>   <h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>91. [player_tooltip player_id='631464' first='Mya' last='Eberlein'], MH/RS Edwardsburg/NIVA</strong></h2>   <p>A 6'2” middle with great length and the athleticism to move to the right side, Eberlein is showing she's got a high ceiling still. Her slide attacks look good, as her footwork is smooth and she always generates good power despite not having to exert a lot on her swing. She's also a big blocking force. Big things seem to be ahead for her.</p>   <h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>33. [player_tooltip player_id='490335' first='Makayla' last='Bruman'], S Imlay City/Michigan Elite</strong></h2>   <p>The 6-foot Bruman helped Imlay City be among the best teams in Division 2 this fall. Bruman was locked in on every point, able to make a clean and accurate set from anywhere on the floor. She also was instinctive on defense and had a powerful serve that challenged opposing passers. Bruman has a complimentary game that helps any lineup.</p>   <h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>169. [player_tooltip player_id='621464' first='Morgan' last='Janowski'], OH/DS L'Anse Creuse North/Crank It</strong></h2>   <p>Janowski shows really good awareness on the floor. She's got a very explosive swing, where she turns over the ball with a lot of arm speed to generate big power. However, she's also able to adjust on the fly and make a smart offspeed play. Her defensive decisions are improving and making her a more consistent passer as well.</p>   <h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>10. [player_tooltip player_id='487356' first='Lucy' last='Monahan'], MH Bedford/Michigan Elite</strong></h2>   <p>A Loyola commit, Monahan is part of a powerful duo of middles at Bedford. She made big strides in her junior year, shattering her career high in kills and blocks. Approaching 300 kills and 100 blocks, Monahan also proved to be a dominant finisher, as she hit .373 in the prep season. If the ball comes her way, it's usually trouble for opponents.</p>   <h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>117. [player_tooltip player_id='490347' first='Sydney' last='Shannon'], DS/L FH Northern/FaR Out</strong></h2>   <p>Shannon has been up against a lot of big hitters and come through with some really challenging digs. She keeps her eyes active and squares her body up to the hitter to give herself the best chance to succeed. I like her consistency with her serve receive and she looks to be growing in confidence on the floor.</p>   <h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>143. [player_tooltip player_id='456855' first='Annie' last='Zellen'], OH Stoney Creek/Legacy</strong></h2>   <p>Zellen is patient with her swing and able to still put consistent velocity on the ball. She's shown the ability to finish on either pin and doesn't just rely on power to score points. Her defensive instincts show promise and she's got good transition time in moving from offense to defense.</p>   <h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>6. [player_tooltip player_id='226908' first='Meredith' last='Martin'], DS/L Marian/Legacy</strong></h2>   <p>Martin had to sit out the prep season due to transfer rules, but she's still coming off a great 2024 club season that helped her earn a commitment with Legacy. Martin is a great all-around athlete that can play most positions, but excels as a defender with great reaction time and court vision. Martin also is one of the top servers in the class.</p>   <h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>24. [player_tooltip player_id='569764' first='Amani' last='Agoot'], MH West Bloomfield/Michigan Elite</strong></h2>   <p>Agoot has been a name on the rise over the last year in the Class of 2026. The 6-foot middle is very imposing at the net. She's got elite length to be a real force with her blocking, but she can sky off the floor to wait on the ball and deliver it at a nearly undiggable angle, offensively. Agoot's finishing rate keeps on improving as she gets more and more experience.</p>   <h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>47. [player_tooltip player_id='227707' first='Gracelynn' last='Olson'], S Fruitport/MVA</strong></h2>   <p>Olson is a setter with a lot of high-level experience. She's not afraid to be an on-court leader and can recognize what needs to be adjusted in order for her team's to turn the corner. Olson has a great touch on the ball and can accurately hit her spots. She's also no afraid to take a chance to swing momentum in her team's favor.</p>   <h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>77. [player_tooltip player_id='261140' first='Ella' last='Azbell'], OH Holly/High Performance</strong></h2>   <p>Listed at 5'9”, Azbell plays longer with a nice swing combined with good hang time. She seems to find another gear in her swing in the closing moments to generate a lot of power. Azbell also has good vision and finds attack lines that gets through the blocking. She also shows a desire to improve defensively and become a more well-rounded player.</p>
