I can confirm that Ava Jones was the visitor this weekend.
Iowa Women's Basketball Recruiting Offer/Commitment List

- Start date
Thanks for things like this Kyle. You're providing coverage of the team that hasn't existed before, at least during the time I've been following. It's appreciated!
Thanks Kyle and keep up the good work.
Journey Houston is a really nice player however I think she is done growing and is maybe 5’9” - 5’10” now. Her teammate Divine Bourrage (sp) has a much higher ceiling as a guard/wing who is 6 foot tall and long/athletic. Journey will score an insane amount in high school but doesn’t shoot it great at this point. That could change.
The elite camp is today and will be interested to see if Greenway is present , and if so does she get the offer she and her family desire.
I’ll be watching them a lot this coming season and can’t wait to see the improvements of both. With the two boys basketball players at Moline High School also on my schedule I’ll be busy this coming season with high school hoops and loving it. 🙂
It looks like Iowa has offers out to two top 25 recruits in 2025?Seems like 2023 is really quiet (possibly only Cinzano and transfers for available slots?) 2024 has a few more, how many slots open up?
Others that follow this more closely than me would be more knowledgeable on this, but my guess is the uncertainty over the extra COVID year that every player can use. Marshall, Warnock, Martin at a minimum would all be able to use that extra COVID year (again, I could be wrong on that). It makes it exceedingly hard to get in top-level talent in the short term as most of the very best players are looking to play right away. In hindsight, probably would have been best to grant the seniors in 2020 one extra year of eligibility if they wanted it and then cut off the extra year thereafter. It's created situations where fewer opportunities are available for high school players as teams now have to be under the scholarship limit.
Jones enjoys her Iowa visit
Ava Jones out of Nickerson High School in Kansas was on campus for an official visit this past weekend. The class of
Wouldn’t be shocked to see an offer for Makayla Paschal come out of this elite camp. Hoping to see some news tonight from attendees, but likely more tomorrow.
Two key take-aways…

Her current plan is to cut her list down and ultimately make a final decision in mid-July.
As for where Jones could fit in with the Hawkeyes, she says that the coaching staff sees her playing at the 3/4 position in the offense.

First one of the day. Class of ‘26 SG out of KC. Ranked #21 in the country for the class by Top Spot Basketball. ESPN doesn’t have rankings out for ‘26 yet.
Also sounds like Maddyn Greenway was in town today.
I’m gonna call it right now….. Greenway goes to Creighton and scores 60 points against Iowa in the ncaa tournament 🤯
That should ease some minds
I am excited for Maddies offer.
Looks like the Elite Camp generated several significant offers. Anyone have insight/info into who else is competing for these players? Also, does anyone think Olivia Olson is still a possibility? Britt Prince?
The UConn board says Olson is a strong Iowa lean and they moved on from her. Hope that is accurate.
Been hoping for a double O commitment for some time now like many of us.
Since Maddie has said that Iowa is her “dream school”, it seems the only question now is when she will commit. She has three and a half years to decide before the November ‘25 LOI signing date.
Wow, that's good news. As the #3 player, her signing would help draw others, and give the Hawks another 'face of the program" player after Caitlin leaves for the W.
Iowa women's hoops extending several new offers
It was a big weekend for the Iowa Women’s Basketball with an elite camp and several new offers.
it seems that our preseason top 8 national ranking and Caitlin Clark are opening some eyes and paying some dividends
I guess. She has a 1000 points already in high school basketball, and she'll be a freshman NEXT season? What year to they let then play high school in Minny? Wow......
