Tennessee Lady Vols to host four top women's basketball recruits

Tennessee will begin official visit season for women's basketball this weekend with quite a guest list.

Four of the nation's top recruits — including two who already have committed to the Lady Vols — will be on campus.

Among those visiting will be Christyn Williams, a 5-foot-11 guard from Little Rock, Ark., who's ranked the No. 1 prospect in the Class of 2018 by ESPN HoopGurlz. She was scheduled to be in Knoxville last weekend but rescheduled, apparently to visit Tennessee with Aquira DeCosta, a 6-2 wing, who plays for St. Mary's High in Stockton, Calif. DeCosta is ranked No. 4 in the class by HoopGurlz.

Tennessee's other visitors will be 6-0 guard Jazmine Massengill, who plays for Hamilton Heights Christian Academy in Chattanooga, and 6-3 forward Amira Collins, who plays for Paul VI Catholic High in Fairfax, Va. The two Lady Vols commitments are ranked No. 26 and No. 69, respectively, by HoopGurlz. Massengill visited unofficially two weekends ago.

Williams averaged 26.6 points, 8.6 rebounds and 2.4 steals as a junior for Central Arkansas Christian School. This summer she was the youngest player on the United States' U19 national team.

DeCosta averaged 18 points, 13 rebounds and four steals last season for St. Mary's.

ProspectsNation.com rates the Lady Vols' guest list even higher overall. The recruiting website has DeCosta (2), Williams (3) and Collins (9) in its top 10 for the Class of 2018. Massengill is ranked No. 11.

Tennessee also has two other official visits scheduled for this fall. Zarielle Green, a 6-0 guard from Dallas, will visit next month. Rae Burrell, a 6-1 wing from Henderson, Nevada, will visit in November.
