UA women's hoops coach Barnes gets big commitment from tall recruit

Arizona women’s basketball coach Adia Barnes probably scored her top recruiting victory last week, getting 6-foot-1-inch Shalyse Smith of Bellarmine Prep in Tacoma, Washington, to commit before she begins her junior season. One of the reasons Niya Butts failed at Arizona is because she never could deploy quality tall players; Smith is a move in that direction.
