Reece Gilpatrick is a 6-foot-4 forward in the 2028 class out of Broomfield High School in Colorado. She plays club basketball with the Colorado Hoopsters New Balance AAU program.
Per ESPN, Gilpatrick is a five-star recruit and the nation's No. 6 overall player in the 2028 class. According to Rivals, Gilpatrick is the No. 12 player nationally, the No. 3 power forward
and the top player from Colorado in 2028. Lastly, Prep Girls Hoops ranks Gilpatrick as the No. 10 player in the country.
In her sophomore season at Broomfield Senior High School, Gilpatrick averaged 17.8 points, 7.5 rebounds, 4.2 blocks, 3.2 assists, and 3.0 steals per game on 58.6% shooting, according to MaxPreps.
Iowa originally offered Gilpatrick on June 26, 2025.
The Hawkeyes are battling schools such as Oklahoma, Kentucky, North Carolina and UCLA in Gilpatrick's recruitment.
Paisley Hogan
A 6-foot-2 native of Fort Smith, Ark., Paisley Hogan attends Northside High School and plays club ball with the Arkansas Banshees of the UAA. Hogan is the No. 1 shooting guard and small forward prospect and the No. 1 player in Arkansas, according to Prep Girls Hoops' 2029 Arkansas rankings.
Along with Iowa's July offer, Hogan has received offers from Arkansas, Alabama, Georgia Tech, Missouri, Iowa State, Oklahoma State, Mississippi State, and Big Ten foes Minnesota, Nebraska, Wisconsin, and Northwestern.
Iowa has four-star combo guard Jada Seubert and four-star center Khalia Hartwell committed in its 2027 recruiting class. The Hawkeyes would love to add Gilpatrick and Hogan to their program in the coming years as they continue to build a contender for years to come.
