The Arizona Wildcats welcomed another Nnaji sibling to the family on May 10 when Maya Nnaji committed to the women’s basketball team. The 6-foot-4 forward out of Hopkins, Minnesota is the No. 7 player in the 2022 class, the highest-ranked recruit the program has ever landed.
Her brother Zeke, now with the Denver Nuggets, attended Arizona in 2019-20 and was the Pac-12 Freshman of the Year in his lone season as a Wildcat. Seeing Zeke thrive in Tucson was a bonus for Maya, but the reality is that she chose the UA because it checked every box she was looking for in a school.
