All of you avid H&R readers obviously already know about Purdue Volleyball's incoming recruiting class from this lovely article (Haven't read it? You should), but we now know that that recruiting class has the nice, single-digit label of 7th in the nation.
The incoming three-headed monster includes outside hitter Alexa Smith (Monument, Colorado), middle blocker/opposite Blake Mohler (Ocean Springs, Mississippi), and defensive specialist Brooke Peters (Avon, Indiana). All three earned all kinds of awards recognizing their outstanding high school playing careers.
Smith, a 6-0 outside hitter, was named the Gatorade Player of the Year in the state of Colorado, as well as the High School Player of the Year by both MaxPreps and Volleyball Magazine.
