Iowa basketball makes final six schools for 2026 4-star Katrelle Harmon
After signing highly-touted forward Trey Thompson, Iowa basketball is among the final six schools for elite 2026 guard Katrelle Harmon. In addition to Iowa, Harmon's five other finalists include Alabama, Creighton and Big Ten foes Oregon, Rutgers, and Washington. The 6-foot-4, 180-pound Seattle native currently attends Wasatch Academy in Mount Pleasant, Utah, after transferring there before his 2024-25 junior season. Also a member Nike EYBL's Vegas Elite, Harmon earned first-team All-Circuit honors in Phoenix's Session I after averaging 24.7 points, 4.3 rebounds, 1.3 assists and 1.3 steals per game. Harmon was also a Nike EYBL 17U Spring All-Circuit third-team member with Vegas Elite after posting averages of 16.8 points, 4.4 rebounds and 2.8 assists per game. Per 247Sports, Harmon ranks as the No. 3 prospect in the state of Utah, as the No. 9 combo guard and as the No. 55 overall recruit in the 2026 class. Harmon has already taken an official visit to the Hawkeyes on June 25. The visit impressed Harmon and fostered confidence in head coach Ben McCollum's ability to develop point guards through his system and in the opportunity that Iowa would provide for him to become a leader, per his conversation with Rivals' Joe Tipton (subscription required). 'Another perfect fit actually. Ben's development of point guards is almost unmatched over the last 10 years in the college game. So the positional development would be great. It's a proven offensive system that one-third of the NBA uses. I'd be the on-court leader of that group, an extension of the coach. Amazing opportunity and challenge to take over after Bennett Stirtz leaves," Harmon said. While Harmon plans to schedule two more official visits before making his commitment, the Hawkeyes' rapid reversal of their national image on the college basketball recruiting landscape following the hire of McCollum certainly appears to have sparked significant interest from Harmon.

Iowa basketball lands Trey Thompson, will reclassify to 2025 class
With Iowa basketball in its first offseason under new head coach Ben McCollum, the Hawkeyes received a significant impact to the team's immediate future on Saturday afternoon as 2026 four-star power forward recruit Trey Thompson announced his commitment to the Hawkeyes. The towering 6-foot-8, 220-pound native of Greeneville, Tenn., is listed as the No. 2 prospect in the state, No. 9 power forward, and No. 59 overall recruit in the 2026 recruiting class according to 247Sports. Advertisement Adding to the excitement, Thompson will also be reclassifying to the 2025 class, making him eligible for the 2025-26 campaign. In his three seasons on the varsity squad at Greeneville High School, Thompson has averaged 21.8 points, 9.6 rebounds, 1.8 assists, 1.2 steals and 1.2 blocks per game on 56% shooting from the field, 45% from 3-point territory, and 81% from the free-throw line, per his MaxPreps profile. Thompson chose Iowa over a list of other premier college basketball programs, which included Tennessee, Purdue, Vanderbilt, and Clemson. The commitment is a major step in the right direction for the program, as recruits are now viewing the Hawkeyes' program as a much more desirable destination under the new leadership and infusion of talent to the roster.
