Iowa women's basketball offers No. 1 recruit in 2029, Kristen Winston
· Yahoo Sports
Over the last few years, the Iowa women's basketball program has gone big-game hunting in recruiting circles. It looks like Jan Jensen is doing that again in the 2029 class.

The Hawkeyes landed Addie Deal in the 2025 class, McKenna Woliczko in the 2026 class, and Jada Seubert in the 2027 class. She's done a good job supplementing those big recruiting wins with other savvy additions in the transfer portal. Jensen continued Iowa's pursuit of the nation's very best on Wednesday, offering an elite 2029 guard.
Top-ranked 2029 prospect Kristen Winston took to social media to announce she's received an offer from Iowa. Assistant coach LaSondra Barrett made the call to officially offer her.

Winston is the No. 1 player in the 2029 class, according to ESPN. The 6-foot guard from Birmingham, Ala., is already raking in the offers from top-tier programs. Miami, Notre Dame, Alabama, North Carolina, and Indiana have already offered Winston. That number will only continue to grow over the next few years. It's going to be a tough battle for the Hawkeyes to land her services.
Jensen has shown the ability to win over big-time recruits during her time in Iowa City. She'll need to do it again to bring Winston to Iowa.
