It’s a big week for the Iowa State Cyclones basketball team. Now, you may be wondering how.

After all, we are in the middle of the offseason and are still months away from basketball season. But the big reason is that the future of Iowa State will be showcased at the biggest high school event in the country.

The Cyclones have been a phenomenal program under T.J. Otzelberger, reaching three Sweet Sixteens in five years. And their 2027 recruiting class is their best yet, ranking by far the number one in the entire nation per 247Sports.

The three players in the class are Josiah Harrington, Donovan Davis, and Jack Kohnen. All three are widely rated as high four-star recruits.
