Recruiting Update: Battle Creek’s McLean Will Commit When Time is Right

<p>Tria McLean has somewhat come out of nowhere to become one of the top recruits in the 2020 class in Nebraska, but her sudden rise won't be followed by a sudden decision.</p> <p>This past fall at Battle Creek, the 5'10 McLean showed her versatility, finishing with 419 assists, 157 kills and 149 digs while helping lead the Braves to a 21-11 record. This club season, she's continued that versatility as a setter for Nebraska Elite 16 Vici and has been drawing the attention of colleges with her athleticism. </p> <p>"I've had interest from schools ranging from small to large D1 universities," McLean said. "I have a couple of visits in the next few weeks."</p> <p>McLean said she doesn't have any pre-conceived notions about where she wants to go or what her timeline for making a decision is. She's comfortable waiting until she finds the place where she feels - well - comfortable. </p> <p>"I'm open to making a commitment at the time I find the right college and program for me - whether it's this year or next year," she said. "The most important things I'm looking for in a college are strong academics, a challenging program with great team chemistry and a great community environment."</p>
