Seubert is a highly-decorated 5-foot-10 guard out of Stevens Point Area Senior High School (SPASH) in Wisconsin. The lefty is a consensus four-star signee across all three recruiting platforms (Rivals, ESPN, and 247Sports).
The highest ranking for Seubert among those three recruiting platforms came from 247Sports, which lists her as the nation's No. 42 player, No. 4 combo guard, and top prospect in Wisconsin. According to Rivals, Seubert is the No. 63
player in the 2027 class, while ESPN rates Seubert as the country's No. 73 player overall.
During her junior campaign, Seubert averaged 24.3 points, 6.7 rebounds, 3.7 assists and 4.3 steals per game, leading the Panthers to a 23-5 record, a Wisconsin Valley Conference championship and a sectional final appearance. She earned Wisconsin Basketball Coaches Association Division 1 All-State honors and was named the conference's Co-Player of the Year and Defensive Player of the Year.
Seubert surpassed 1,000 career points during her sophomore season and holds the SPASH career steals record. A member of the Wisconsin Purple Aces AAU program, she averaged 15.0 points, 4.5 rebounds, 3.5 assists and 2.0 steals per game in club competition.
“We are thrilled to welcome Jada Seubert,” Iowa head women's basketball coach Jan Jensen said. “She is a versatile guard who brings a grittiness to her game. She can get to the rim, has a beautiful pull-up jumper and can shoot the three. She plays so hard and with a spirit that I absolutely love. I can’t wait for our fans to welcome her to Iowa City.”

Hartwell, a 6-foot-5 center out of Westside High School in Anderson, S.C., is ranked as the nation's No. 16 player, No. 2 center, and the top player in South Carolina, per 247Sports. According to Rivals, Hartwell is the No. 59 player nationally, the No. 5 center, and the top player in South Carolina. Like 247Sports and Rivals, ESPN also rates Hartwell as a four-star signee.
Named the South Carolina Gatorade Player of the Year during her junior season, Hartwell averaged 12.4 points, 8.3 rebounds and 2.2 blocks per game while helping lead the Westside Rams to the Class 4A state championship game.
“I am so grateful that we got Khalia Hartwell,” Jensen said. “I think she is a post player that has only scratched the surface. Her development here could be something really, really special. She moves so well, has a love for the game and so much untapped potential. I think she is going to be an awesome Hawkeye, and I can’t wait for our fans to meet her.”
