Ella Grimes - Libero plays at Elevation. She is one of the top overall players in the country (seen her ranked as high as #2) and also ranked as one of the top sand players as well. I’ll add a couple from that Elevation team: Sydney Sprada, 6’0” OH. Whip for an arm and passes like a ‘bro. Kendall Northern, 6’ 1” MB. Approach touch of 10’ 5”, and increasing.

Their instagram page said Kendall Northern touches 10'5.5". Don't forget that half inch. I saw them playing at Bluegrass and she can absolutely Fly. It looks like they have her playing MB, she looks more like a Pin Hitter to me. Having said that they have two really good Outside Hitters and at this point they are probably a little more advanced in their skill development. I also like the Setter on this team, very smooth foot work and ball delivery.

The Midwest is loaded with top-tier Libero prospects. Some have already been mentioned Cugino (Mintonette) and Grimes (Elevation). I'll add Frietch (NKYVC), Helper (Boiler), Jones (Tri-State), and Keiran (KIVA).
In addition, 2 OHs that could project as high end Libero's in college are Foster (Boiler) and Combs (NKYVC).
A major recruit that I haven't seen mentioned yet from the Midwest is 6'5 Jessica Smallwood (MB/OH for KIVA).

Julianna Hernandez for TAV 16 black is a solid libero! I think she's the #1 libero in Texas according to prepdig.
Edit: The setter, Danielle Whitmire, ain't too shabby as well.

Is Danielle Whitmire playing OH or setter? I haven't seen her too much this year, but I thought I saw her playing OH at TC. Either way, she's solid.

Is the setter you're referencing Makenna Kirlin?

She’s the setter for that team, yes. She’s a stud. Probably won’t be listed with the very top setters in the class due to being a little undersized. But she jumps well, locates, has the hands to get a ball from corner to corner, runs a smart offense and has all the intangibles.

Thanks for the info! Wanted to make sure I got the right name to add.

Thanks for all the names! I've updated the second post with their names now linked to their prep recruiting pages (Hudl, SportsRecruits, etc.). Some haven't included any highlights but I linked them anyway.

I saw film on Ayanna Watson from triple crown and was very impressed.
For anyone who is familiar with her, how would you compare Halle Thompson, Gabbi Divita and her?

What do we think about this Mintonette m.61 team? They win near every tournament they play, but when you watch them it's like...ehhh...I'm not sure anyone here is elite. That setter can play, libero is good, both lefts are capable and play 6, but could any of them be great? Which one is the most likely to make the leap?
