ESPNW Rated Recruits Out Of Iowa

Earlier this week ESPNW published their most recent Player Rankings for the 2025, 2026, and 2027 Classes. They also continued to list the Top 25 prospects out of the 2028 Class but without any specific numbers at this time until after USA Trials in June.   In this article we briefly highlight the six individuals out of Iowa that made these lists.   Thanks for tuning in and enjoy!    [player_tooltip player_id='311381' first='Divine' last='Bourrage'] caps off her high school career finishing up at #24 for the 2025 Class. Bourrage, the LSU commit, is going to be an interesting one to watch at the next level. She is obviously a next-level talent but how you fit within you system determines everything. I have a feeling that working with LSU could turn Bourrage into even more of a monster on the hard-wood. With then correct attitude, she will be able to go places at the end of the day and those places might be at the pro level. We will just have to sit back and see what unfolds.     Creighton has a killer coming in at the PG position with [player_tooltip player_id='311396' first='Ava' last='Zediker'] out of Dowling Catholic. Zediker comes in at #70 in this ESPNW Update. A number she should be proud of. Usually it can be tough for a PG to crack the Top 100 when they are considered pass-first but not Ava. She is so well rounded and such a student of the game that she stacks up pretty well abasing some of the nations best. She can handle it, lead her team by example with her offensive system, she can defend her own position at a high rate, and she is extremely determined as a competitor. Not everyone in the Country knows Zediker yet but just wait. If she compete to her full potential at Creighton, she is going to be someone we hear about consistently over the next 3-5 years.     The past twelve months that [player_tooltip player_id='311363' first='Libby' last='Fandel'] has put together is nothing short of amazing. Fandel goes from unranked as a Junior, to being a Top 50 player nationally for the 2025 Class. Following this Rankings Update, she led her team to a 4A State Title as the 8th seed in Des Moines and she looked like whole other type of monster while doing so. I wouldn't be shocked if Fandel saw minutes right away at Kansas. She is like that offensively and she possesses great length. Two things that will help her see the floor for the Jayhawks before you know it.     Virginia Tech is getting a dominating force with [player_tooltip player_id='311351' first='Amani' last='Jenkins'] in the lane. Jenkins, the 6'2 Center, is coming off of two awesome high school season as a junior and senior. Jenkins transfer into Johnston and helped lead the Dragons to two undefeated seasons. She also helped them to two consecutive 5A State Championships as well. As a player this is someone that understands her own ability and she has a lot of it. She can catch with her back and punish smaller defender near the bucket or she can work from the mid-rage and take her opponent to the outside. Defensively, she is someone that everyone has to worry about. If you don't, she will probably come out of nowhere and get a tip or block in some form. It's been a journey for Jenkins but it's not over yet. Now she is ready to take things to the next level and show her worth in front of the Country. Something I'm sure she is excited about.     There are a lot of eyes on [player_tooltip player_id='557354' first='Jenica' last='Lewis'] and where she might end up committing over this next year. Lewis, is a Top 25 rated player out of the 2026 Class and she has lived up to the hype for quite away now. Coming into high school, Lewis was someone that everyone talked about. At some point, those type of players have to show up in big moments and Lewis has done that this past two years. Both at the high school and AAU level on the road. Whoever scored Lewis as a prospect is getting a smooth operating guard with a lethal jump-shot and skill set while attacking. She should be an instant impact player wherever she lands.     Closing this piece is PG - [player_tooltip player_id='643486' first='Jhaliana' last='Guy'] out of Clinton High School. Guy has been on the ESPNW Watch List since the 2028 Class has been published about six months ago and from what I've heard, she is in the conversation for #1 out of her Class nationally Offensively, Guy has a strap on her from deep. If she is over the half court line, it might go up and you'd think, there is no way that's going in because of how far she is away but more times than not, it's cash. She can also handle at a high rate and she is beyond athlete from a physicality standpoint. She can defend her own position, along with a number of others because of her first step-speed and willingness to get physical. Stanford Women's Basketball first 2028 commit was Guy and for good reason. It's cause she is like that. It's that simple.
