Here are a few early guys to keep an eye on that could be potential targets. If you know of any others post them.
Jude Gibson 6’ PG. Ballard
Thought to be potentially the best prospect in the state for 2026. Averaged 15.2 PPG 4.3 Assists and 4.7 Rebounds.
Sam Mbingazo 6’10 C. Iowa City High.

Moved to Iowa City from the Congo this year to live with his uncle. Hawkeyes are all over him I’m sure. If he stays in Iowa he will be one of the highest recruited players in Iowa for awhile. Averaged 7.5 PPG, 6.7 RPG, 1.2 BPG
Evan Jacobson 6’7 F Waukee
Yes Michael’s brother so the bloodline is there. Limited varsity minutes as he was behind two very good seniors but he will take a big leap forward next year. Already has great size for a freshmen. Skilled big man. Will be interesting to see if he keeps growing and can compare to his brother.
