MURFREESBORO, Tenn. – Middle Tennessee's already strong 2018 women's basketball signing class became even sturdier with the addition of a heralded graduate transfer, as announced by Lady Raider Head Coach Rick Insell Wednesday.
A'Queen Hayes, a 5-foot-8 guard from Horn Lake, Miss., has signed with Middle Tennessee. Hayes will immediately be eligible as a graduate transfer and have one year of eligibility remaining.
Hayes, the daughter of Denus Hayes, is a versatile guard whose immense talent already has landed her on two different all-league teams. Hayes was named to the All-SEC Freshman Team as a rookie at Ole Miss in 2014-15, and she was also named first-team All-Ohio Valley Conference in her one season at Eastern Kentucky.
