As soon as the Arizona Wildcats won the WNIT, Adia Barnes transitioned into recruiting mode, needing to fill two roster spots via the transfer market.
She said she was looking for players who could check two boxes: help the Wildcats on the court and fit the team’s do-good culture off of it.
It is that second requirement that made the addition of Oklahoma transfer Shaina Pellington particularly interesting.
She can definitely play. In her two years in Norman, Pellington averaged 13.1 points and 3.1 rebounds per game on 46 percent shooting.
