Recruitment Update – IA: August 7th, 2025

Here are a few athletes out of Iowa that have either recently committed or they have recently been offered to compete at the next level following their impressive AAU seasons this Spring/Summer. Every player listed has shown off their skill-set over the years with their varsity high school 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!    [player_tooltip player_id='832198' first='Macy' last='Meyer'] has seized her opportunity and is now locked in to join the UNI Panthers for her college career starting in two years. Meyer, a 5'7 SG, is someone that has been a promising talent for a few years now. She has shown her promise on both the high school varsity floor and the travel floor with her AIA AAU team. Offensively, she has shown she can shoot it, she can get to her spots, and she can finish in a plethora of different ways at the bucket while attacking. Defensively, she holds her own. She isn't a liability when motivated and that shows. It's a ways away but I'm sure that Meyer is extremely excited to throw on the purple and yellow. Who wouldn't be?!     [player_tooltip player_id='524262' first='Sydney' last='Doeschot'] is off the board to D2 - Augustana out of South Dakota. Doeschot has been a D2 level player ever since she was a freshman in high school. Her smooth shooting stroke, her ability to handle and create for everyone around her, and her skill to make everyone else around her better has been noticeable for years now. Those are three things that many at this level do not possess. I think last Winter was the tell-tale sign that Doeschot was a born winner. She switched high schools, they lose their star athlete to kick off the season due to injury and they still run the table, go undefeated, bring home a 2A Championship, and Doeschot is the 2A State MVP. That run and resume speaks for itself. I can't wait to see what she put together for one more go around these next eight months. No matter what it is, it should be fun to watch.     [player_tooltip player_id='766446' first='Ainsley' last='Roberts'] of the 2027 Class just received an offer out of Bellevue, Nebraska. Roberts is a 5'8 PG with coordination, fundamental skill, and a lot of promise looking forward. Overall, it's notable that Roberts can producer with little space and time on the clock. She is her team's leader in multiple statistic categories each contest and she seems like someone that everyone else enjoys being around on the court. That might sound obvious but sometimes, players are hard to get along with even though they are talents. Not in this case though, Roberts has a great attitude and we will be seeing that at the college level sooner or later.     [player_tooltip player_id='884847' first='Olivia' last='Baker'] received her first collegiate offer this past week when Stephen's College in Texas reached out to the skilled CG. Baker has been a player that coaches love to watch compete. Over the past few years, I have several AAU directors and collegiate coaches make comments about how good Baker could become by the end of her basketball career. She has natural length, talent on both ends, and situational awareness. She knows how and when to beat her matchups, never really struggling in that facet of the game from what I've seen. I'm not sure if Baker is going to get a varsity shot this Winter at Dc but I hope so. She is dedicated to the game and the promise is there, now she just needs to keep stacking up her experience and the rest will be history.     [player_tooltip player_id='782232' first='Lena' last='Evans'] of CCA High School has received a lot of love this AAU season from the next level as it pertains to her future on the hardwood. Evans recently visited two NAIA schools out of the Midwest in Doane (NE) and Briar Cliff (IA) while trying to figure out where she would like to go following her senior season. These are another two solid options to add to the stack that Evans already possesses. I have a gut feeling that she will come to a decision sooner rather than later, wanting to enjoy her final campaign on the high school floor but we will see. Whoever gets Evans is getting something that is going to shine at whichever level she competes at. It's just all about finding the right fit.
