Arizona head coach Adia Barnes watches her Wildcats on an offensive possession in the team’s game against Tarleton State in Tucson on Nov. 7, 2024.

Arizona coach Adia Barnes locked in her first verbal commit for the Class of 2025, Roxy White, on Tuesday, just a day ahead of the opening of the early signing window.

White is a 5-11 guard who plays for Example Academy in Frankfort, Illinois. She was offered a scholarship after her official visit on Oct. 13. She also received offers from Georgetown, Loyola University Chicago, Fordham and Utah State, among others.

The book on White is that she is a playmaker who has good court vision and can do a lot of things on the court.

More to come on White as soon as she officially signs the paperwork to become a Wildcat and Barnes can talk about her.
