Continue ReadingAs we roll into the senior prep season for a talented Class of 2023, our player rankings were updated earlier this week.
Along with looking at the stock-risers and the new additions, now we will take a deeper dive into each position’s rankings.
We start with an impressive group of outside hitters, many of whom will make a big impact at the college level.
1. Harper Murray Harper Murray 6'2" | OH Skyline | 2023 State #2 Nation MI , Skyline/Legacy
What’s left to say about Murray? She could go down as one of Michigan’s all-time best, if not THE best. She’s already ranked No. 1 overall nationally by Prep Dig and has a bright future ahead at Nebraska next fall.
2. Nina Horning Nina Horning 6'5" | OH Lake Orion | 2023 State #50 Nation MI , Lake Orion/Legacy
Horning looks more and more like a dominant college player. The future Cincinnati Bearcat is working hard on her defensive game to go with an already imposing offensive game. Her power and athleticism at 6’4” is hard to match.
3. Kennedy Louisell Kennedy Louisell 6'0" | OH Forest Hills Northern | 2023 State #140 Nation MI , Forest Hills Northern/Legacy
Louisell has been the fast mover up this last over the last year. She’s proven to be an explosive and athletic six-rotation player. Colleges should be moving quickly to scoop her up.
4. Ella Schomer Ella Schomer 6'0" | RS Marian | 2023 State #142 Nation MI , Marian/Legacy
It’s likely to be a big prep season for the Wofford commit. She’s the veteran hitter for Marian this fall and nobody can question her intensity on the floor. Schomer is a gamer in every sense of the word.
5. Raegan Lantz Raegan Lantz 6'1" | OH West Ottawa | 2023 State MI , West Ottawa/MVA
One of the next great Michigan players to head to Miami (Ohio), Lantz has been one of the best in a crowded talent pool in the Grand Rapids area. Long and athletic, Lantz can make all the plays.
6. Remi Madison Remi Madison 5'9" | OH Grand Blanc | 2023 State MI , Grand Blanc/Michigan Elite
Madison has been a very reliable six-rotation outside for Grand Blanc for years. Her athleticism and explosiveness will be a great asset at the next level. She’s still got a high ceiling as well.
7. Paige Giehtbrock Paige Giehtbrock 6'0" | OH Clarkston | 2023 State MI , Clarkston/L2
An ever-improving player, Giehtbrock is adding a little more intensity and finishing ability to her game. She’s got all the tools to be a great player for Rider starting next fall.
8. Sarah Dunn Sarah Dunn 5'10" | OH Forest Hills Central | 2023 State MI , Forest Hills Central/FaR Out
Dunn is another standout from the West side of the state. She’s quick to react to the ball and has excellent footwork. Her resilient play is what college coaches should be looking for.
9. Emily May Emily May 6'1" | OH Coopersville | 2023 State MI , Coopersville/Inside Out
Another talented and long hitter from Coopersville, May can really dial up the heat on her attacks. A future Ferris State Bulldog, May continues to push herself to elevate her game.
10. Rebecca Apsey Rebecca Apsey 6'1" | RS Groves | 2023 MI , Groves
Apsey is a player that has been willing the shoulder the load for Groves, but makes a lot of tough plays look easy. She’s improved defensively while still delivering one of the most powerful attacks in the state.
