5-star Iowa women's basketball recruiting target updates decision timeline
admin_news
After an extremely promising Labor Day weekend official visit with the Iowa women's basketball program, 2026 five-star wing McKenna Woliczko is still carefully pondering her options alongside her family.
The 6-foot-2 wing from Archbishop Mitty High School in San Bruno, Calif., is ranked as the No. 6 player nationally by ESPN, Rivals, and 247Sports.
According to the Des Moines Register's Chad Leistikow, Woliczko is still undecided as she continues to mull her options between Iowa, South Carolina, Ohio State, and USC. Additionally, her family has created a list of pros and cons for each school in an effort to make the decision a bit easier. The family told Leistikow "THERE ARE NO CONS" to the finalisits.
Woliczko's camp also informed Leistikow that no commitment decision is expected this week, but it still remains "forthcoming."
UPDATE (sorta) from the camp of McKenna Woliczko, the #6 overall national recruit in 2026 class from San Bruno, Calif., who has completed her final official visit (Iowa, Aug. 30, photo attached) and is mulling the Hawkeyes, South Carolina, USC and Ohio State.

Leistikow also reported that Woliczko intends to stay at one school for her entire collegiate experience, which is adding to the agonizing experience of choosing between the four finalists. Woliczko doesn't want to "break up" with any of her final choices.
While the welcoming and friendly nature of Hawkeyes fans certainly did not go unnoticed by the entire Woliczko family, it is no surprise that the three other programs still remain as equal potential choices for the superstar prospect.
For Iowa, a pledge from Woliczko could be a key piece toward priming the Hawkeyes' program toward another Final Four or championship run. It would also serve as another monumental recruiting win as Jan Jensen transforms the program from an impressive regional powerhouse to a national juggernaut.
