McKayla Miller, a 6'0 (or 6'1) PG who hails from Cimarron in southwestern Kansas, just visited ISU. There's not much info about her online, maybe she's not heavily recruited, maybe she's a late bloomer. Can she become our next Emily Ryan (wearing #11 in the photo shoot)?

Arianna Jackson played with her All Iowa Attack squad on Father's Day weekend and won the championship of her age group in the Summer Jam Tournament in Twin Cities. Based on the photos and videos posted online, it appears Kelsey Joens and Ndjakalenga Mwenentanda didn't participate. The All Iowa Attack is loaded with talents and I hope we can get more nuggets from this gold mine, especially the aforementioned two.





She bumped into Mere at Mall of America. Anybody knows what Mere's doing now? Has she completed her master degree study while playing with the local team in Ireland?

After last weekend's AAU tournament in Twin Cities, Arianna Jackson stopped by ISU for another unofficial visit and had fun with her family.







Her mom comments that freshman Maggie Vick did well in the team practice. Apparently Arianna had some interactions with our team.

New update on Arianna Jackson. She got promoted from All Iowa Attack 10th Elite to 11th Elite team and won another major AAU tournament champion in Dallas last weekend. ISU's top target (2022 class) Ndjakalenga Mwenetanda was also with the team but it's unclear if she played. Kelsey Joens was still MIA.

Congrats to Arianna's All Iowa Attack 10th Elite Team for winning the Battle of the Best Tournament of their age group.

I thought she got promoted to 11th.
She was temporarily promoted to the 11th Elite when they played a tournament in Dallas last week because they were short of players (as far as I know Kelsey Joens didn't go and Ndjakalenga Mwenentanda didn't play). Now the 11th Elite is back to full strength this week, Arianna is back to her original 10th Elite team.

Arianna and her All Iowa Attack 10th Elite Team just won the championship of the Nike Elite Youth Tournament of the Champions in Chicago. Congratulations!



One of ISU's 2024 recruiting targets Madi Hawk is on the Kentucky Premier16U team which narrowly lost to All Iowa Attack in the final.

Is it a sign that ISU's logo is right by her left hand? ;)

I did this in the 2022 thread, so I'll do it here too.
Front row:
Divine Bourrage (2025)
Callie Levin (2024)
Peyton McCabe (2024) -- sister of Taylor McCabe
Arianna Jackson (2023 ISU commit)
Back Row:
Coach Ken Johnson
Aili Tanke (2024)
Emma Miner (2023)
Journey Houston (2025)
Halle Vice (2023)
Sophia Hope (2024)
Brooklyn Dailey (2023 Drake commit)
Coach Randy Mauro

Jackson is an ISU commit, of course. Levin holds an ISU offer. Bourrage, Houston, and Tanke are also listed on their respective ISU WBB recruiting threads.

It seems like things are picking up for her. She has offers from Oklahoma State and Wichita State in the past few weeks. Prior to that, it seems like it was mostly D2 offers, so she must be having a great summer.
