Iowa Women’s Basketball Lands Nation’s No. 1 Ranked Recruit, Sarah Strang
The Iowa women’s basketball team has secured a major recruiting victory with the commitment of Sarah Strang, the nation’s No. 1 ranked prospect in the Class of 2025. Strang, a 6-foot-2 forward from Omaha, Nebraska, is widely regarded as one of the most talented and versatile players in the country, making her decision to join the Hawkeyes a significant boost for head coach Lisa Bluder’s program.
Strang, known for her scoring ability, rebounding, and defensive skills, has been dominating at the high school level and on the AAU circuit. Her impressive skill set, including a soft shooting touch, explosive athleticism, and high basketball IQ, made her the top recruit in the class. She is expected to have an immediate impact on the Iowa roster when she arrives in 2025, bringing both scoring power and a strong defensive presence.
“I’m excited to join the Iowa program and contribute to its continued success,” Strang said in a statement. “Coach Bluder and her staff have built something special, and I’m eager to be a part of it.”
Strang’s commitment is a testament to Iowa’s growing national prominence in women’s basketball, further solidifying the Hawkeyes as a force to be reckoned with in the coming years. The program, which has been consistently competitive in the Big Ten and on the national stage, now adds a premier talent who could elevate them to new heights.
