I thought it would be easier to post all recruiting news here.

Adia has done it again, getting a high-profile point guard from the 2022 class.

I do have this question… when we have an important men’s b-ball or football recruit, we’ve got AZ Stadium all lit up. Why not for this lady?

This is how every coach should recruit. Who wouldn't want to play for her? I guess jerks and buttholes, :lol:

The one shining light to a AD that has been burned to the ground by Heeke and Robbins. Can we pool some money to hire a full time bodyguard to keep the clowns away from her and the program.

Heeke did not hire her, Greg Byrnes did.

Kiki Rice, the #1 point guard and #2 overall player in the 2022 class makes her decision today. She has Arizona, Stanford, UCLA, Duke and UCONN in her final five. Stanford is the favorite as Kiki's mom and aunt both graduated from Stanford. Hopefully Adia can work some of her magic.

Guessing this is recruiting related and not her free dinner.

If you watched the UCONN /NC State game you see we have a way to go on the offensive end. Awesome high level game. Incredible really.

I tend not to say such things out loud, but that was my first impression too.

Fields too. This team is getting to be similar to the glory days of softball.
