The Class of 2022 has a very strong group of middles that are sure to make an impact at the college level. Here’s a look at the 10 who have put themselves above the rest.
1. Serena Nyambio Serena Nyambio 6'2" | MB Country Day | 2022 State #17 Nation MI , Detroit Country Day/Legacy: An absolutely explosive athlete, Nyambio (6’2”) can play above any of her opponents. The Michigan commit has fierce power, but has really added a lot of new facets to her game in the last year.
2. Brooklyn Conner Brooklyn Conner 6'3" | MB Forest Hills Central | 2022 State #178 Nation MI , Forest Hills Central/MVA: The 6’3” towering middle is headed to Clemson in 2022. She’s a dominant force on offense and defense and has a reach of 8’2” and a jump of 10’3”. Conner isn’t all size, as she combines it with quick instincts and athleticism.
3. Sarah Sylvester Sarah Sylvester 6'3" | MB Marian | 2022 State #126 Nation MI , Marian/Michigan Elite: Sylvester made a lot of big strides in the last year. The 6’3” TCU commit really become an unstoppable force in Marian’s run to a state title.
4. Cari Bohm Cari Bohm 6'4" | MB Ann Arbor Skyline | 2022 State #39 Nation MI , Ann Arbor Skyline/Legacy: Bohm really broke out in the last year after recovering from an injury. She’s made the most of her time and proven to be much more than just a 6’4” frame. Bohm has a lot to offer Illinois when she arrives in 2022.
5. Amanda Glanton Amanda Glanton 6'4" | MB Davison | 2022 State MI , Davison/Michigan Elite: Another sizable middle in this class, the 6’3” Glanton moves really well on the floor and has a good sense for where the ball is heading while on defense. Glanton has improved her finishing skills as well.
6. Emily Struckmeyer Emily Struckmeyer 6'1" | MB Lowell | 2022 State MI , Lowell/FaR Out: Struckmeyer saw an expanded role with Lowell this prep season and made the most of it. She’s proven to be a reliable finisher and blocker and has the athleticism to make a lot of plays that other middles can’t.
7. Ava M Young Ava M Young 6'0" | MB Rockford | 2022 State MI , Rockford/FaR Out: Young showed a lot of improvement during the fall season and proved to be a big factor on offense and defense. She tallied over 100 blocks for Rockford despite facing some much bigger competition.
8. Leah Rogers Leah Rogers 6'2" | MB Hudsonville | 2022 State MI , Hudsonville/FaR Out: Rogers has been someone that has drawn a lot of praise from her club staff. They really like her work ethic and willingness to improve. That should continue to take her far in the next 12 months.
9. Kyla Wiersema Kyla Wiersema 6'0" | MB Western Michigan Christian | 2022 State MI , Western Michigan Christian/Team Angle: Wiersema stands 6’0”, but she can play above the net with the tallest competitors. She’s explosive and has a very quick reaction time.
10. Anika Prisby Anika Prisby 6'4" | MB Armada | 2022 State MI , Armada/Michigan Elite: Another 6’4” middle in this class, Prisby has a high ceiling because of her length. She is gaining more confidence, and as she continues to add new dynamics to her game, she could move up this rankings list a lot more.
