With an incoming class full of international players, it’s been a busy summer for future Arizona Wildcats. Last week, it was incoming freshman Helena Pueyo and 2020 commit Derin Erdogan playing in the FIBA U18 Women’s European Championships. Beginning Friday night, Pueyo and fellow incoming freshman Mara Mote will tip off with their national teams in the FIBA U19 Women’s Basketball World Cup in Bangkok, Thailand.
