• PrepVolleyball named Tennessee’s incoming recruiting class the 28th best in the nation, and 4th best in the SEC. “The 2018 class will help lay a foundation for the future and looks to impact the program right away. Each player will fill a need and add high-level club experience to the Lady Vol roster.”

  Since 2003, when the recruiting ranking started, Tennessee has been ranked or an honorable mention every season except 2004.

• The previous article also notes that Emma Schriner, who graduated early and joined the team in the spring, will transfer and not be joining the team in the fall.
• Congratulations to high school junior and future Lady Vol Maddie Bryant who was named to PrepVolleyball’s Defensive Dandies list of the nation’s top full-time defensive players. “She is fearless, covering the court incredibly well with an uncanny ability to read the opposition like no one else.”
