College Recruitment Update – November 6th, 2024

As we get into the high school season these next few weeks, we are going to start to see more and more offers or commitments out of prospects as it has to do with their college recruitment. This is a normal trend for this time of the year as a lot of players are taking visits on campus and doing what they can to lock in their futures.   Thanks for tuning in and enjoy!    [player_tooltip player_id='908851' first='Peyton' last='Bose'] of East Buchanan High School has recently committed to Black Hawk out of Illinois to continue on following her high school career. I've had the chance to see Bose this past six months and she is a walking bucket offensively, while also being a solid competitor and better than average defender. From all three offensive levels, Bose is dangerous. In many ways, I think that this commitment is big for Black Hawk. This is someone that is going to be offensively ready to see the floor right away. As long as her defense keeps up, I'm sure she will help out early in her collegiate career, once she does see the floor at that level.     There is a lot to like about [player_tooltip player_id='777553' first='Aalaiya' last='Davis'] of Omaha Central High School and that's why she keeps stacking collegiate offers moving into her Senior season. Davis has athletic ability, great awareness on both sides of the ball, all while being a good communicator and teammate to those around her. As of most recent, Davis has received another offer to compete following this high school season. This time it's from The University Of Science and Arts at Oklahoma. Like I said, this is another offer for Davis to add to what she already possesses. I'm sure we are getting to the point of her making a choice to where she is going to end up but we will see how it plays out. Maybe she wants to play this season first and go from there. Who knows. That's her decision and something everyone should continue to respect.     The most recently commitment out of the 2025 Class in Iowa comes from SG - [player_tooltip player_id='419308' first='Morgan' last='Mann'] of Humboldt High School. Mann has been a hot commodity on the recruiting trail this offseason around the Midwest. Up until her commitment, she had a ton of offers and interest from the D3, D2, NAIA, and Juco levels but ultimately, she decided to go with Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University. This comes as somewhat a surprise as there are not many prospects that we have seen out of Iowa attend this University but there is a first for everything. I'm sure that Mann is going to end off her Senior season the right way and make a standing impression on that program before everything is said and done. She has always been a producer, no matter who she is lacing up against and I don't see that changing anytime soon.     The Morningside Mustangs scooped up another prospect out of Nebraska, this time being SF - [player_tooltip player_id='897402' first='Nolan' last='Gomes'] of Millard West High School. Gomes was an important piece to her team's overall success last season as they suffered just one lose and ended up winning their Class State Title. This season, she is going to be right back in the similar situation but with a little more responsibility. This program does lose a little bit of production at the Varsity level due to graduation and others will need to step up to help the cause. Gomes is going to be looked upon in some of those moments. Her dominant force near the lane is something that most teams can't match when having to account for everyone else around her and because of that, she should thrive at times. After this season, it'll be awesome to see Gomes come into Iowa, looking to make a difference at the next level. With her mixture of height, physicality, and situational awareness, she should fair just fine.     I am a little late on the one but over the summer [player_tooltip player_id='582832' first='Charlie' last='Pryor'] of Woodbine High School committed to Sioux Falls to continue on her athletic career on the Softball diamond. Pryor is someone that we have recently mentioned for her production on the Varsity floor over the past three seasons. With Pryor now being college committed in something else, I really hope she still competes on the hardwood over this next six months. She is going to be the heart and soul of that team if she returns so it's really important to their future in the short time. (This year.) Either way, Pryor has always been a top notch competitor. She works relentlessly in anything she is attempting to accomplish so I'm happy that she will be showing off her athletic talents in some form moving on.
