Core Event: Recruiting Race for Mya Wilson
Iowa Hawkeyes women’s basketball is in the final stage of a recruiting battle for four-star combo guard Mya Wilson. Wilson, the top-ranked Minnesota prospect, has narrowed her decision to four programs—Iowa, Ohio State, Minnesota and TCU—and a commitment could elevate Iowa’s 2027 class from its current No. 6 ranking into the top five nationally.
Background & Context: Recent Wins Build Momentum
Head coach Jan Jensen has assembled a string of high-profile acquisitions. The 2025 class featured five-star forward Addie Deal, who later entered the transfer portal but underscored Iowa’s ability to attract elite talent. The 2026 class secured five-star guard McKenna Woliczko from San Jose, California, who is expected to contribute immediately. Most recently, four-star guard Jada Seubert, the No. 1 recruit from Wisconsin, committed to Iowa, further solidifying the program’s recruiting reputation.
