Kentucky's 2026 Class Ranked #9 Nationally

Although the current discussion centers on the Class of 2027, Kentucky's Class of 2026 recruiting class is still proving to be very strong nationally.  As many of those commits finish up their final club tourneys next week (USA Nationals in Dallas) and will report to Lexington in January, the class is currently ranked #9 overall by VBAdrenaline.com and #2 in the SEC.

"The 2026 class to me is a such a beautiful example of a Craig Skinner class" Darren Tipton, owner of VBAdrenaline.com stated "it is made of very solid volleyball, but all of them should most likely be "rated" higher for one reason or another they just aren't talked about very much, exactly like Skinner and Kentucky Volleyball.  The PPV's may fluxuate slightly, but I think you are looking at this being Top 8, but coach will be the first to tell you as soon as you graduate and enroll in college those accolades and stars are all washed away.  It's all about how hard you work and the fit at your program and how you adjust to college ball.  This group (as many of Skinner's recruiting classes have) seem like a perfect fit to adjust to his system well.  Another talented group about to make it's way to Lexington.
