Adia Barnes continues to collect talent from all over the globe.

This time from Scandinavia.

Arizona women’s basketball landed a commitment from Iceland’s Birna Benonysdottir on Saturday, per a source close to the program.

The 6-foot-1 center becomes the second player in UA’s 2019 recruiting class. The other is Latvian guard Mara Mote.

“I’m willing to recruit anywhere and I will go everywhere,” Barnes said last June. “I don’t feel like I have to settle here. I’m in a great place. I’m in the best conference, I have the best administration, so for me this place is special, so it deserves to get great people.
