Besides Olive Olsen (see details in my post #34), another ISU's top guard target is Britt Prince (5'11 PG). Here's her detailed profile.

ESPN Ranking: #10 (behind Olson's #9).

Offers Received (in chronicle order with Big12 schools in bold): Creighton, Nebraska, South Dakota State, Louisville, Iowa State, Omaha, Iowa, North Carolina, Maryland, Oregon, Michigan, Indiana, K-State, Kansas, Oklahoma, Marquette, Penn State, NC State, Minnesota and counting.

High School: Elkhorn North, Omaha, NE.
Season average: 22.3 PT, 7.1 REB, 3.7 AST, 59.1% FG%, 39.4% 3PT%.

AAU Team: Nebraska Elite 15U

She's enrolled in a brand new school which was founded last year. As a freshman, she led her team all the way to win the Nebraska State Champion (Class B) in their inaugural season. She was named the Class B Player of the Year and a member of the Super State First Team.

She's also a track star. She ran cross country last fall, won a couple of events for her school and finished 5th in the state championship. This spring, she won a statement championship as a member of their 4x400m relay team and finished a runner-up with their 4x800m relay team.

When she plays, she doesn't wear her hair in a ponytail, which makes her easily recognizable. After watching her highlights, I'm very impressed by her fundamentals such as ballhandling, footwork, shooting form, etc. She has very smooth crossovers and deadly Euro steps. However, I don't think she's the second coming of Paige Bueckers as hyped in the following video and IMO Olson is a little better prospect in comparison. There's no double she's very talented and she could certainly improve a lot in the next two years. If we can get either Olson or Prince, our future will be very bright.

Please check out her highlights.

This is exciting news. I watched Aili Tanke play in the Nike National Championship last week and she played great. She was the leading scorer (great 3PT and FT shooter) for the All Iowa Attack 16U team and helped them win the national championship.

Her stats of the tournament.





She scored 18 PT in the Nike National Championship game. She wears #33 and plays the forward position. Pay special attention at the 11:18 mark as Tanke assisted Jackson for the championship-clinching 3-pointer (Cyclone to Cyclone), then she made the final two free throws to ice the game.

Is there a good link to a source for top-ranked girls bb players out of Iowa down into the middle grades?

Thanks for posting. Fun to watch the National Championship game. Tanke and Jackson are going to be really good Cyclones.

Coaches were out recruiting recently, and a couple of known places they traveled to are the schools of 2024s Olivia Olson and Britt Prince (the below tweets, respectively).
