All three members of the 2019 class honored their commitments, so the cupboard is young but not bare . There are five McDonald’s All-Americans on the roster . • UT also added a three-point shooter from Australia and a 6-3 all-conference JUCO power forward just after the spring signing period . PLAYERS • The Lady Vols return two highly-regarded starters in 6-2 junior guard/forward Rennia Davis (14 .9 ppg ., 7 7. rpg .) and 6-0 sophomore guard Zaay Green (9 6. ppg ., 4 0. rpg ., 2 .3 apg .) . • Davis was a WBCA All-America Honorable Mention selection and All-SEC Second Team choice, while Green was named to the SEC All-Freshman Team . • Top returning reserves include 6-4 junior center Kasiyahna Kushkituah (4 .8 ppg ., 3 .5 rpg .), sophomore wing Rae Burrell (36 . ppg ., 2 .8 rpg .) and sophomore point guard Jazmine Massengill (3 4. ppg ., 3 4. rpg ., 1 .3 apg .) . Also back is 6-3 senior forward Kamera Harris . • Kushkituah started 11 games and was averaging 10 .2 ppg . and 6 .2 rpg . in 24 .8 mpg . through five games before a knee injury forced her out of action for two contests and set back her progress significantly . Burrell and Massengill, meanwhile, played in all 32 games a year ago . • UT’s No . 9-ranked freshman class is led by 6-2 freshman guard Jordan Horston, ranked as the No . 2 player overall and No . 1 guard in the nation . She was the MVP of the 2019 McDonald’s All-America Game . • Also included in that rookie group are 6-5 posts Tamari Key and Emily Saunders, ranked as a five-star by espnW HoopGurlz and a four-star by ProspectsNation com,.
