It’s a new frontier in collegiate athletics — women’s volleyball most certainly included — where the explosion of the NCAA transfer portal has completely altered the playing field.

The transfer portal, which allows college athletes to transfer without sitting out for a specified period of time (now they can play immediately), also changes the look of VolleyballMag.com’s annual women’s NCAA recruiting class rankings.

Where before we accounted for grad transfers, incoming junior-college transfers, new international players (note on the list below are just two international players) and true freshmen, now we must add the experienced transfers.

This time around, it’s the Texas Longhorns taking the top spot, followed by USC and Nebraska.
