VanSlooten attends Notre Dame Academy in Toledo. As a sophomore she averaged 15.9 points, 8.1 rebounds and 2.3 assists per game while scoring from all three levels.

“Stretch-4 prospect with superior length in the front court,” reads her ESPN scouting report. “Drains the jumper with range to the arc; quick, versatile defender, competes on the glass, rebounds and handles in transition; a hybrid-4 game, mismatch producer; continues rapid development as an impact prospect at the next level.”

VanSlooten told 247Sports that she’s looking for a school that “has a family atmosphere, good leader, like as a coach, and a competitive team.”

Arizona checks all those boxes.

The Wildcats don’t have any 2022 commits yet (it’s early), but these elite prospects have already listed them among their finalists:

• 5-star point guard Kiki Rice (No. 6 overall)
• 5-star forward Maya Nnaji (No. 8 overall)
• 5-star point guard Aaliyah Gayles (No. 9 overall)
• 4-star shooting guard KK Bransford (No. 27 overall)
