Recruitment Update: December 22nd, 2025

Here are a few athletes out of Iowa & Nebraska that have recently been offered or they have recently committed to compete at the next level following their impressive AAU seasons this 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 at the next level following their high school careers.   Thanks for tuning in and enjoy!    I like the mixture of skill and length that [player_tooltip player_id='1491641' first='Sadie' last='Cox'] of Lenox High School possesses. She has a great feel for the game while standing at 6'0. For her Lenox program, she is their engine on both sides of the ball. When they do well and things look good, it's because of the play of Cox. If you look at the conference and the team's that Lenox competes against, Cox is one of the better prospects throughout. She is coordinated by the bucket but she can also space the floor in a few different ways. As long as this group continues to build onto what they have put in place to start this Winter, they should see some more success before this season comes to an end.     I have said for a long time that [player_tooltip player_id='502091' first='Adalyn' last='Long'] could be a productive player at the collegiate level if she were to get a shot. Well, Long recently as committed to compete with Luthern College (IA) to start off her career at the next level so she will get that opportunity. The reason Long is a no-brainer to me is because she isn't the type on the floor that needs others to create rhyme for her. She doesn't need rhythm at all. She can come in cold and produce in the handfuls off the Wing. Which is a talent not most high school prospects possess at this time. Long is also a solid starter when she gets the majority of minutes, making her versatile within her team's lineup. Luthern got a good one in this pick up. Long should be able to produce early on in her career if she gets opportunities.     [player_tooltip player_id='561262' first='Reagan' last='Baldwin'] has been doing her job to a T this Winter in some impactful moments. Baldwin would be considered a 5'11 SG, who primarily works off of the catch on the WIng. Most of the time you see Baldwin letting it fly from deep. She likes to shoot it and she does has a pretty nice shot when she has time and space. With the prospects that Ankeny possesses, Baldwin just needs to play her role. If she can hit open shots all Winter long, then defenses can't help onto their other star players, which will make them tough to guard as a whole. As for Baldwin individually, she should be fine when she gets to the NAIA level. If she is dedicated to the game, she will continue to grow as she gets older and so will her play-style.     Wartburg locked in another hooper from the 2026 Class in Iowa In SF - [player_tooltip player_id='782505' first='Grace' last='Richter']. Richter has touch, a physical feel for the game, with a balanced attack offensively. She is good with her back to the basket going through someone smaller but she can also counter if she is ever cut off. She isn't bad at passing to other open teammates out of the Post when she is doubled, understanding situations pretty well while being noteworthy on defense as someone that can control the lane. Wartburg is a program with an efficient system. If Richter can get some work on her weaknesses early on, she should be a productive player for this group over her 4-5 years.     Kyle Schaapveld has recently committed to compete with Central Dutch College out of Iowa follow this Winter to continue on with her basketball aspirations. Schaapveld is a respectable player with some promise to her game. She is a SG that isn't crazy with flash but she knows what she does best, which is getting to two feet and playing fundamental basketball. Within Central's system she should be able to learn over the years, eventually seeing the floor later in her career for the Dutch if she works hard enough. As for this season, Schaapveld is going to do whatever she can to help her Ankeny Squad. When she is leaving it all out there is when she is playing her best so hopefully we see more of that as we move into the Post season in a few months.
