Big-time recruit Montaya Dew has enrolled early at Arizona and is ready to take her second road trip of the season as Arizona takes on Colorado.
She was the first to commit in Arizona’s class of 2023 — in December of 2021.
She’s been in Tucson for only two weeks but already has experienced a lot. Dew attended a practice and witnessed a home thrashing of rival ASU — from the UA bench. Although Dew won’t be playing this year, she will be participating in every team activity. To be extra safe and not be that freshman who takes the wrong thing, “I packed pretty much everything that Arizona gave me. Just so I wouldn't forget anything,” Dew said with a laugh.
The weight room seems to be a common theme for Dew, who is learning quickly that life as a collegiate athlete is quite different. Going up against a fifth-year player in Cate Reese and a senior in Esmery Martinez every day in practice is no easy feat. “ learning some plays we're reviewing, and she picks up stuff really fast. She's a smart player,” Barnes said. “It's something about Centennial. Karen does a great job. Her players are ready. They always have a high basketball IQ. … They are always solid and accept coaching. I really love getting players from Centennial. Sam Thomas was someone who was underrated.
