EspañolAfter visiting Iowa City for an official visit on Feb. 20, five-star power forward Nation Williams has listed Iowa women's basketball among her Top 10 schools that the highly-touted 2027 recruit will be considering.
Williams, a 6-foot-2 native of Las Vegas, Nevada, currently stars for Centennial High School, where she is ranked as the No. 10 player nationally, the No. 1 power forward, and the No. 1 player in Nevada, according to 247Sports' Composite for the 2027 recruiting class.
Williams was among the eight other Hawkeye recruits and prospects in attendance for Iowa's 62-44 upset win over then-No. 5 Michigan from a sold-out Carver-Hawkeye Arena on Feb. 22, and appeared to enjoy every second of her interactions with the coaching staff, players, and passionate community.

So far in her junior season with Centennial, she is averaging 17.3 points, 10.4 rebounds, 3.5 assists, 2.8 steals, and 1.5 blocks per game, shooting 54% overall and 50% from 3-point range, according to MaxPreps.
In addition to Iowa, the nine other programs that comprise Williams' Top 10 are Duke, Louisville, Baylor, LSU, North Carolina, Notre Dame, and Big Ten foes Michigan, UCLA, and Washington.
While Iowa is joined by an elite group of programs competing for Williams' commitment, her star-studded experience in Iowa City this past weekend likely cemented the Hawkeyes' status in her Top 10 schools.
As of Feb. 27, the only commitment to the Hawkeyes' 2027 recruiting class is top-ranked Wisconsin combo guard Jada Seubert.
