Iowa’s women’s basketball program has taken a decisive step toward the future by extending a scholarship offer to Taylor Morris, a 6‑foot‑4 small forward who is already making waves as the top prospect in Arizona for the class of 2028.
Morris, who currently sits at No. 20 in the 2028 SportsCenter NEXT – Super 60 national rankings, chose Iowa after a recruitment process that also attracted interest from several powerhouse programs.
A Standout Performer in the Classroom and on the Court

What This Means for Iowa’s Program
