Continue ReadingThe Class of 2023 is hungry. There is an eagerness for this group. Most of these athletes never really got the chance to play in any qualifiers in the 2020 club season leaving plenty left in the tank, looking for opportunities to play and compete. There will be top Class of 2023 athletes from the state of Wisconsin as well as one from Iowa, and a new Class of 2023 prospect to Wisconsin who will be sure to catch the eye of coaches across the country.

Nation
WI
– Milwaukee Sting
Behrendt can do a little bit of everything on the court. She could step out to the pin and blast away, but her best spot is running the show as a setter. The last season she was the top setter for Sting 15 Gold. Great footwork, smooth release, and she has an “X-Factor” about her game where she knows how to get it done for her team. She is the type of athlete you want on your side of the net because she has all the intangibles to get it done.

– Milwaukee Sting (Title Photo)
So solid. Wagner is the complete package as a six rotation outside. She’s been finding great success on the beach this summer which will only add to her all around game indoor. A big arm, solid platform, and just an overall grit about her, Wagner is the one you want on your side of the net when things are tight. She makes a great combination with Behrendt and always finds a way to create positive touches for her team as well as putting a ball away.
Paige Miller

Kaukauna | 2023
State

– FC Elite
Miller just has a spark about her style where she smiles, celebrates, and has a ton of athleticism from the libero position. She could play on the pin for her high school ball, but her future will be as a high level libero. With plenty of range, Miller is long, being able to get to plenty of balls where she creates a positive touch as well as makes the routine plays look easy.

6’2, long and athletic, Fortune also has the family genes in her favor with an older sister playing college volleyball at Northern Michigan and another heading to Mckendree to play college basketball. She will also have a cousin in

in attendance at the Showcase. Fortune was a starting outside for Appleton North last year enroute to the state tournament, but since then she has really increased her strength and has added some power to her game. For her height, she passes incredibly well and you can just see the makings of someone who will compete at a high level.
Ava Schubert

IA
– Iowa Select
So excited to see Schubert compete with some of the best in Wisconsin. A strong, physical, lefty right side, Schubert will be a top five player in Iowa’s Class of 2023 rankings. A six rotation player who has the physicality on the right side is no dime a dozen. She scores points and is so active at the net. She was also a key piece to her high school’s state basketball team as well.
Rowan Schreiber
Rowan
Schreiber

Madison Memorial | 2023

– Balance
Schreiber is definitely a hidden gem in the Class of 2022 who has the ability to play at the Division 1 level. A 6’4 right side that is extremely strong and athletic, Schreiber is a lockdown defender who provides a big block for her team. Her ceiling and potential is incredibly high and will be fun to see develop over the next couple of years.
New 2023 prospect alert in Wisconsin. 6’5 pin in the Green Bay Area 👀 – she will be in attendance at the Prep Dig Summer Showcase at @stingvb1988 August 7. Welcome to Wisconsin Kennedy Martin! pic.twitter.com/pKuHe04I0N

Kennedy Martin – Carolina Union
Get ready Wisconsin, there is a new athlete who will be sure to add plenty of spark and power in Kennedy Martin. Martin played for Carolina Union in Charlotte, North Carolina. Her dad is Ruvell Martin, a former Green Bay Packer, has joined Coach Matt LaFleur’s Green Bay Packer coaching staff. Kennedy is the oldest of four daughters. A 6’5, Martin definitely has the high touch and has shown plenty of potential this summer. She is going to be a Sophomore at De Pere High School and will be a definite one to watch throughout the state.
