Aari McDonald came to Arizona as a quiet teenager. During her years as a star in Tucson, she started to find her voice. Now, she aims to continue that growth as she takes on the role of Director of Recruiting Operations for the Wildcats.
“I’m not much of a talker,” McDonald said. “I think that will help me step out of my comfort zone and talk to high school players and also just talk to the girls on the team.”
Her new boss, head coach Adia Barnes, thinks those skills will help McDonald when she returns to play for the Atlanta Dream in the WNBA each summer.
