UA women's hoops coach Barnes knows how to recruit
In her first month as Arizona’s women’s basketball coach, Adia Barnes has displayed strong recruiting instincts, which are desperately needed. In addition to hiring veteran Pac-12 recruiters Sunny Smallwood and Kelly Rae Finley to be on her staff, Barnes sent recruits a video of “Life on the UA campus,” which featured views from the rooftops of high-rise student apartments, including the massive swimming pools on the top deck. It’s not the same video you’ll see from rival coaches at Oregon and Washington.
