Arizona women's basketball lands 2019 guard Helena Pueyo from Spain.

She can really score. She can play the 2, she can play the 1, she's athletic, good in transition, good in the open floor, & a really good 3-point shooter.

The Lady Cats keep getting better on paper.  Hoping that they can beat the bigger programs (Stanford, Oregon, Oregon St.) next year & start to make a dominant run.

I love the strides they've made thus far with their win over ASSU, increase in attendance and high-profile recruiting.

Coach Barnes has the Lady Cats heading in the right direction. Changing the culture is the most difficult, but recruiting winners is huge. Let's hope Pueyo ends up in Tucson and not on the Euro pro circuit.

Barnes cannot comment on Pueyo until she signs, so here is what she has said about UA's other 2019 recruits:
On Mote: "She's a guard, she can score it. She can play the 2, she can play the 1, she's athletic, good in transition, good in the open floor, good 3-point shot, so really kind of what we needed."
On Manumaleuga "She's a specialist, a 3-point shooter. but she has good size. She's 5-10, 5-11, can get to the rim on straight line drives."
On Gul: "She is a skilled post player. She's a player that has a great shot, she can shoot the 3, she can shoot from the high post, she's really smart, a good passer, and she has good size at 6-4."
On Beonnysdottir: "Birna from Iceland is a versatile face-up 4. She can shoot the 3, pick and pop, plays a lot of our style, because we play 4-out 1-in, and she has the potential to be a good player, too. So if we add the other two players that I have in mind, which I can't talk about yet, then we have a very strong class."

Manumaleuga is already on campus and practicing with the team. This is a solid class and yes any one of them could opt out like the Italian player did last summer. I love the direction we are headed though! Bear Down Lady Cats!
