Recruitment Update: May 13th, 2026

Here are a few athletes out of the Midwest that have recently been offered or they just committed to compete at the next level following their last high school season of competitive ball.   Each player listed has shown off their skill-set over the years and that has helped them prove to recruiters that they have what it takes to suit up at the next level in one way or another.   Thanks for tuning in and enjoy!    [player_tooltip player_id='909494' first='Emma' last='Walkup'] is a college level PG so I'm happy that she is starting to get some love from the next level. Walkup is known for her smooth demeanor out on the floor. She handles pressure with ease and is very calm whenever she competes. She is the type that is never too high or too low attitude-wise. She understands her job on the floor as a creating PG but she can also score at a thorough rate for her position and she is a sound defender on that side of the ball as well. As of most recent, Walkup grabbed an offer from D3 - Central (Dutch) College out of Iowa. I love this fit for Walkup within that conference to be honest. She is the type that could lead that group in several positive statistical categories over her career if she locks in properly over the next couple of seasons but we will have to wait and see where she ends up.     I've seen some glimpses of [player_tooltip player_id='1215833' first='Maura' last='Trierweiler'] over the last couple of years but this AAU season has been her best so far. Treierweiler competes for North Polk High School as a Combo Guard more than anything else. She has sound ability while the rock is in her possession, usually making smart choices whenever plausible but she seems more comfortable off the ball from the Wing or in the Corner for big moments/opportunities. The Loras Duhawks is the first offer for Trierweiler but I don't think it will be her last. Whenever you have someone like this grabbing attention from a local collegiate program, others tend to follow. That's just how I've seen it work over the last couple of years but each individual is in a different situation so who knows. The only thing I know is that she has had a good AAU season up to this point and I don't see that slowing down anytime soon.     [player_tooltip player_id='1852883' first='Sira' last='Doumbia'] received an another D2 offer today when she grabbed one from The Drury Panthers. Doumbia has been on a tear this AAU season. She Is killing it out of the blocks on both sides of the floor and making herself a house-hold name out of the 2027 Class in Iowa moving into her Senior season at Washington (CR) High School. If you are looking for size, a soft touch, and a smart demeanor out of the middle of the floor then you should look at Doumbia. She is going to end up being one of the best Post Players out of her Class at this rate and she is just getting started.     D2 - Upper Iowa is the latest program to throw an offer towards [player_tooltip player_id='832196' first='Graclyn' last='Eastman'] of BG High School. Eastman, the powerful 6'0 Forward, has been really solid out of the Post the last year and a half. She is converting at a high rate while being fouled a majority of the time, she can control the pace of play in the middle of the floor better than most with her communication, and she is always willing to learn from those around her when she isn't sure about a situation. I think that Eastman is going to grab a few more offers at this level before she makes a choice as to where her college future might begin. She checks off a lot of boxes for her size and position, which will help lead her to her future home in the very end.     James received one of her first college offers a few weeks ago when D2 - Bemidji State threw their name in the ring. This comes to no surprise. James visited the school and did really well at showing off her potential in front of their staff so it was only a matter of time. That, mixed along with the fact that she has been producing this AAU season and we are starting to see more and more schools becoming interested overall. There is going to be a number of other offers that comes in over the next twelve months for James. She has shown up on most floors she competes on and that's what matters the most in the long within this process to most.
