Libero/DS Harper Broyles is KU’s second class of 2028 commitment of the day
Broyles plays for Alliance Volleyball Club in Tennessee and is part of the USA Volleyball National Development Program. Was named 1st Team All-State in 2025

KU’s first class of 2028 commitment is 5’10” setter Ava Lane, who plays for Apex Volleyball Club in Springfield, MO
Lane recently took home four medals at the Missouri state track championships as a sophomore (100, 200, 4x100, 4x200)

Starting today, class of 2028 recruits (juniors during the 2026-27 school year) can be directly contacted by coaches verbally commit. Typically, a lot of the top recruits announce shortly after 6/15
Based on roster projections, would expect KU to sign 2-3 players in this class

Marissa Jones, one of the top setters in the class of 2027, has switched her commitment from Kansas to Ohio State. Jones verbally committed to KU on August 10
Not a surprising move after KU signed USC setter Reese Messer in the spring, who will be a sophomore next season

KU volleyball made a splash in the transfer portal when it earned the commitment of Reese Messer, an Olathe native who was a first-team All-Big Ten setter last year.
Here's why Messer decided to come home.

Ellie Moore ➡️ SMU
Moore spent two seasons at KU as a backup setter. With Messer joining, would have been third on the depth chart
SMU has been among the best ACC teams the last two years. Will be a less-crowded setter room, with only a redshirt freshman setter on the roster

Big transfer portal update: KU has signed USC setter Reese Messer
Messer went to St. James Academy in KC and was the 2024 Kansas Gatorade Player of the Year. Was a starter as a freshman for USC and named to the Big Ten All-Freshman Team
She will have three years of eligibility

Raegan Burns ➡️ Tennessee
Burns led KU in digs in 2023 & 2024, appearing in all but 4 sets across both seasons. Missed most of 2025 season due to injury
UT has made the last 5 NCAA Tournaments. Last year’s starting libero graduated, so Burns will have a good shot at that role

The volleyball spring transfer portal window opens today and runs through May 15. Student athletes must enter during this period but can commit at any time
This cycle is a lot slower than the winter portal season. For KU, wouldn’t expect more than a few names going in/out

Based on her latest Instagram post, Raegan Burns appears to be leaving KU. Burns redshirted in 2025 after suffering a knee injury in August
Burns was the starting libero her first 2 seasons & was among the best passers in the Big 12. She’ll have lots of interest from P4 programs

Matt Ulmer said on Hawk Talk tonight that the plan is to have two matches in Allen Fieldhouse this fall
Without much promotion, last year’s match in AFH drew ~7,500 fans. Wondering if one of the matches this season will come in the non-conference portion of the schedule
