The Arizona Wildcats’ incoming freshman class is special, no matter who you ask.
Whether it’s HoopGurlz which pegs Cate Reese as the No. 12 overall player in 2018 or Prospects Nation with Valeria Trucco as the No. 3 international player, the recruiting sites agree that Arizona will be welcoming its most highly-rated female players in history this fall.
As with many Pac-12 teams, overseas recruiting has become important to the Arizona program under Adia Barnes. Of Prospects Nation’s top 25 international players, seven are on their way to play for Pac-12 teams.
While she finished her pre-college career at Palm Harbor High School in Florida, current Arizona sophomore Kiana Barkhoff developed in Germany.
