Recruitment Update: May 16th, 2025

Here are a few athletes that have recently committed or been offered to compete at the next level. All these players have shown off their skill-sets over the years with their varsity team and that has helped them prove to recruiters that they have what it takes to suit up following their high school careers.   Thanks for tuning in and enjoy!    Earlier this week [player_tooltip player_id='534428' first='Aubrey' last='Kroymann'] was offered by D3 - Central (Dutch) to compete following her high school career. Kroymann is a 6'0 Center, with good prowess in the middle of the lane. She is someone that is able to post up on either block, she can spread the floor and step out for action around the three point line, and she is someone that opponents have to think about when they are driving for a bucket towards the lane. I like this fit for both parties. It's not going to be Kroymann's final offer but it is one that she should consider. She could feast in a program like the Dutch but we will have to wait and see how it plays out.     [player_tooltip player_id='766449' first='Delainey' last='Durr'] is a gamer. That's been the case for a few years now. Durr keeps it simple, takes what the defense gives her, and she is successful because of that. She also has a high mental IQ out on the floor in real time. For some athletes, it takes them a minutes to calculate what is happening around them. Not Durr though. She understands situational basketball to a T as a PG and that's obvious if you watch her compete for 5 minutes. This past week Durr was offered by the powerhouse that is called Wartburg. A big offer from one of the best D3 programs in the Country.     [player_tooltip player_id='936708' first='Raelyn' last='Lacourse'] of Davenport West High School is not someone we have touched on yet but that all changes today. Lacourse competes for Midpro Academy out of Illinois and their group has some ballers. Lacourse is a CG, that has the ability to move all around the three point line. She can play on the ball the bring it up under pressure at the PG spot or she can move over and light it up from deep as the 2. It's really whatever is being asked of her by her coaching staff. As of most recent, Lacourse was offered by Bethany out of Mankato, Minnesota. A program with respectable history and a lot of support from their community.     There is future potential with [player_tooltip player_id='881948' first='Graysyn' last='Downing'] of Waterloo East High School. Downing is a coordinated guard, that is asked to do a lot throughout the high school season. She is asked to score, rebound, defend, handle, assist, and lead all the others around her. She does a good job with adapting to situations and making it work. This ability has caught the eye of some coaches at the next level. Specifically, Downing was offered by Central (Dutch) to start off the week. A good program that runs a solid system. Downing is on the road for this upcoming live weekend so hopefully she can play well and show out. She is competing with an impressive group of girls so moving forward, anything is possible.     Getting the first offer off the board is the hardest. [player_tooltip player_id='964973' first='Ava' last='Reed'] accomplished that feat yesterday on her visit to Doane. Doane offered Reed because of her mixture of size, athletic ability, and her impressive skill set. This is someone that moves really well for 5'11. She is always a three level scoring threat offensively, while being someone who isn't afraid to mix it up with any opponent defensively. This is an important weekend for many. Reed included. A lot of coaches will be in attendance. As long as she plays to her full potential, I'm sure she is going to walk away with more interest/offers.
