Year 1 could be quite impressive and it all starts with a top 20 recruiting class.

Both 247sports and ESPN have published their class rankings for incoming freshmen. 247 ranks the Wildcats’ 2026 class at No. 20 in both its internal and composite rankings.

ESPN is even more impressed, placing Burke’s first full recruiting class at No. 17. Arizona’s class consists of six players after the recent additions of guard Arynn Finley and forward Karolina Ułan .

In addition to Finely and Ułan, the Wildcats will add guards Makayla Presser-Palmer and Jasleen Green , as well as forwards Priyanka Ponnam and Callie Hinder . 247 rates both Finely and Green as four-star recruits. It is also quite a bit higher on Green than the other services.
