Croatt has taken her talents to Kansas to compete with Mokan Girls Hoops EYBL for her last Spring and Summer on the AAU floor. She is coming off of an awesome State run with her Waukee NW High School program, where she was the major key to their success with her ability to create, facilitate, run the offense, make open shots when called upon, and set everyone else up for success around her. She also got to the rim at Will most of the time with her shifty handle and physical stature as she would through anyone that would be standing in her way. Mokan is getting someone that you’d consider a PG #1, no matter where she is competing at. She knows how to play the game the right way and in reality, she is a DAWG as a competitor. When those two things mix together on the hardwood, you get a D1 level talent and that’s what we have here.

She is a PG with great chance of pace, great control of tempo, and great instincts as a facilitator. Croatt just finished off putting together another impactful season with her Wolves program. She helped their group get to the State tournament with her production + leadership and once they got there, she did her thing to stand out as someone that is going to be a game-changer at the collegiate level some day. Croatt is another prospect that has left the AIA EYBL program moving into this Spring so it’ll be nice to see what she can do with another EYBL team in Mokan Elite out of Kansas. If she plays with her usual edge and demeanor, she is going to thrive within that system but we will have to wait and see. For now, she will hold onto the #3 spot out of the 2027 Class.

Waukee NW out of the 5A Class has been disappointing to start this season in a lot of aspects. We saw NW give Johnston a run for their money in the 5A State Playoffs last Winter and they return every player so if you think about it, they should be better this time around but that is not the case. It’s not too late though. If their stars lock in, I still think this is a group that can go all the way. Especially when they have a leader like Romey Croatt Romey Croatt 5'8" | PG/CG Waukee NW | 2027 State IA at their starting PG position. Croatt helped NW bring home an impactful W yesterday by a 5 point margin against a powerhouse program from another state.

She has an elite handle of the rock, she understands what her responsibilities are, she controls pace of play throughout the game, and she makes everyone else around her better. Not to mention, she can hit shots when her team needs a big bucket or she can lock up when they need a stop. Croatt currently possesses several D1 offers at this time and that list is only going to grow. That starts with continuing to make plays this high school season and it builds off of that into this Spring.

Someone who will have a chance to lead their team to State Title is Romey Croatt Romey Croatt 5'8" | PG/CG Waukee NW | 2027 State IA of Waukee NW. Croatt is a heck of a ball player and overall athlete. She is very good at leading her team whenever she takes the floor, doing it by example and at a high rate. Recently, Croatt received an offer from D1 Bradley out of Illinois. At this pace, this is a hooper that will have 10+ Division-1 offers prior to this Winter season. If she can go out there and lead NW to a 5A State Title, I’m sure even more offers will end up tricking in moving into the Spring of 2026.

With steady improvement, the most well rounded PG out of this 2027 Class is Romey Croatt Romey Croatt 5'8" | PG/CG Waukee NW | 2027 State IA and she holds a few D1 offers at this time.

With the season that Waukee NW should have ahead, I’m expect this roster to receive a few more D1 offers as a whole before we get to the 2025-2026 State Tournament. The Wolves are poised to make a big push in the 5A Class with who they will return. Croatt is a born leader at the PG spot so as long as she takes care of business, I’m expecting they will see a lot of success as a group moving forward.

Croatt knows when to attack, when to go for certain types of steals defensively, and everything in between. She isn’t afraid to get her hands dirty or to get on the floor for a loose ball when the opportunities present themselves. I’m expecting the offers to keep on coming until Croatt decides on her future. She is like that and she will prove that once again this Winter to anyone watching.

Romey Croatt Romey Croatt 5'8" | PG/CG Waukee NW | 2027 State IA has been impressive this AAU season on the road, leading her to receiving three D1 offers in a short amount of time these past few months. The most recent being from Valpo this past weekend. Croatt is going to help her high school team to a 5A State Title before the end of her career or she will at least get a shot at it. This is the deepest 5A team that the state of Iowa has to offer moving forward and Croatt will be the unquestionable leader. Pretty impressive for someone who is also a future D1 soccer player if she so chooses. I’m not sure what sport she will end up picking but I’m hearing that Bball is her favorite so we will just have to wait and see how it all unfolds over the next two years!

She just recently received two D1 offers from around the Midwest these past few months for Bball because of her play. Croatt is a smooth operating, pass-first PG. She works relentlessly on both sides of the floor and she is efficient in everything that she attempts to accomplish. She is really the definition of a “dawg.” If she keeps her play up throughout July, some others college programs will probably throw their hat’s in the ring as well.

Romey Croatt Romey Croatt 5'8" | PG/CG Waukee NW | 2027 State IA was briefly highlighted the other day because of how well of a weekend she put together with her All Iowa Attack 17U EYCL team.

The Coyotes has been hunting throughout Iowa from potential recruits for a couple years now and their grasp is only getting strong with time. I love what Croatt brings to the floor as a player. She is the definition of a dawg. She just wants it more than most others in front of her, she LOVES to compete, and she is consistent. Three things you love to see out of an aspiring hooper. We will see where Croatt can go from here. I know there are a few other D1 programs interested in this one so now we just have to wait and see.
