2027 Recruiting

[o_AMAYS]

SIAP, I don't have access to Kyle's updated list. Updating my own list today. . . .

Hard to tell who Iowa is still actively pursuing in the ‘27 class beyond Nation Williams and Mya Wilson, both of whom officially visited. Wilson also expected (according to Gopher beat writer) to commit somewhere in July.

With 5-in-5 eligibility, ‘27 class less critical given remaining eligibility of current Iowa roster.

This ends my updates on 2027 recruits.

Found no updates for the following 2 lists:
Best IA Interest Remaining:
Mya Wilson (In Top 4 and most likely Top 2 according to @o_AMAYS)
Nation Williams (Still some buzz here)
Destiny Manyawu (Spent her Bday on an UVisit to the Hawks. Don't think you spend your Bday with a team not high on your list)

Don't hear much on:
Ivanna Wilson-Manyacka
Khalia Hartwell
Harper Dunn
Brookeslee Colvin

Others I've already posted updates on today don't sound likely at least at this point. As stated by others with the possibly of our top core players hangin around for 3 more years, I also don't see a big class. Probably at most Jada Seubert and 1 more of the 3 listed above with interest.

---

Madeline Mignery (6'1" SF) (FL) 4 Star (#40 ESPN) 5 Star (#24 JRAS) (#25 PN) (#26 PGH) (#28 247S)
6/21/26 - Set 6 OVs: UNC, FL, LSU, Clemson, Stanford & IN
Doesn't specify a Top 6 List but it doesn't look the best for us.

Destiny Manyawu recruitment also very quiet this summer.

re-class to 2026? What is that exactly? She is graduating HS a year ahead of schedule?

Iowa mens team has had several of those in the last few years/ Mulvey did that under Fran as did Trey Thompson last year. He should have been in high school last year as well

Mulvey just went back to the class he was supposed to be in...he was 19 before his freshman season at Iowa started.

Thompson was a legit re-classify...he was only 17 when last year started.

Regardless of his age did Mulvey not graduate early as in he was not a senior and was supposed to be in high school another year. I wasn't basing it on age. Hell Deal was 20, or almost when she got to Iowa, but she still just finished her senior year in high school.....

Any word when Mya is visiting TCU this month? I believe that is her final visit. Keeping my fingers crossed that she's a Hawk.

@hawkbuck70 Heard anything on the Wilson front? At one point I thought she was all about being a Hawk but obviously things can change very quickly.

In the same vain, was Wilson's departure from AIA a bad sign for Iowa?

Iowa hasn't had much success with AIA recently so hopefully not.

Nation Williams is playing this week in the U17 World Cup for the USA. Just completed group play, going 3-0 against Ivory Coast (117-24), Australia (74-72), and Latvia (105-53). Williams leads the team in blocks, is 2nd in rebounding (and 2nd in OR), and 3rd in steals. It's just 3 games, but Williams has struggled to score the ball in all 3 games, and especially against the 1 good opponent to date:

​	PTS​	2PT FG​	2PT FGA​	2PT FG%​	3PT FG​	3 PT FGA​	3PT FG%​	FT​	FTA​	FT%​
Group Totals	22​	7​	30​	23.30%​	0​	2​	0%​	8​	14​	57.10%​
vs Australia	3​	1​	11​	9.10%​	0​	1​	0%​	1​	2​	50%​

These scoring number do not worry me and I doubt they discourage the staff. Love to get Williams!

Talia Goodman reports on official visits for Colvin, no Iowa.

“Top 2027 recruit Brookeslee Colvin remains open in her recruitment and is in the process of taking official visits, she told Rivals. The 5-8 point guard from Coeur D’Alene (ID) has visited Cal and Indiana so far with other official visits set to TCU, North Carolina, Michigan and Virginia.”
