Point guard

1. Jordan Horston

6’2″; Freshman; Columbus, Ohio

There was no more pressing question for the Tennessee Lady Vols than who would replace Evina Westbrook at point guard this year, as she was the team’s leader in assists and points in 2018-2019. Well, enter Jordan Horston, the No. 1 ranked overall guard in the nation from this past year’s recruiting class who also scores at will. She could potentially immediately offset the loss.

Now, Westbrook did have a little more experience, but with Kellie Harper now running the show, the two have a chance to grow together as they build a program. What better way to do that than turn to a freshman combo guard with the most potential of anybody on the team? Horston will likely step in and be an immediate impact player, so we have her starting here.

2. Jazmine Massengill

6’0″; Sophomore; Chattanooga, Tenn.

After leading everybody off the bench in assists last year and even getting a start, Jazmine Massengill returns to be the backup point guard. She has a very good chance at actually winning the starting job, but there’s just too much hype behind Horston. So with the new talent, Massengill will likely be the sixth-woman and top guard off the bench. She has lots of potential too, though.

In fact, Massengill was a five-star like Horston and another starting guard. In just under 18 minutes a game, she averaged nearly three and a half points and three and a half rebounds along with 42 assists. Her shooting, though, was highly inefficient, as she shot 15.4 percent from three and 33.3 percent from the field. That is why we have her as the backup again.
