With signing day approaching, Elite Is Earned director of scouting James Parker takes a look at some of the verbal commitments from across the country.
Iowa State
- Reese Beaty (5’8 PG, York Institute, TN)
- Freya Jensen (5’11 G, Aarhus, Denmark)
Iowa State’s backcourt will be bolstered by Beaty’s leadership at point guard. She brings a sharp basketball IQ, excellent court vision, and a crafty sense of play, making her a key floor general for the Cyclones. In addition, Iowa State has added Freya Jensen, a sharpshooter from Denmark, who will provide consistent scoring from the perimeter, adding depth and versatility to the guard rotation.
Stanford Cardinal
- Hailee Swain (5’8 PG, Holy Innocents’ Episcopal, GA) – Ranked No. 5 in the ProspectsNation.com ELITE150 for the 2025 class
- Alexandra Eschmeyer (6’5 F, Peak to Peak Charter, CO) – Ranked No. 37
- Carly Amborn (6’1 W, Archie Williams HS, CA – ELITE 150 Ranking
- Nora Ezike (6’2 F, Lyons Township HS, IL) – Ranked No. 49
Stanford’s class features impressive size and skill across positions, led by Swain’s leadership at point guard and Eschmeyer’s height in the frontcourt. Swain, ranked No. 5 in the ProspectsNation.com ELITE150, is one of the country’s most well-rounded point guards. Committed to Stanford over two years ago, she brings experience from anchoring USA’s U17 and U18 teams to back-to-back gold medals. Her poise, leadership, and intelligence will be invaluable to the Cardinal. Eschmeyer, ranked No. 37, is a versatile frontcourt player, daughter of NBA veteran Evan Eschmeyer and former Northwestern star Kristina Divjak. She can contribute both inside and out offensively, while providing a strong defensive presence. Amborn adds a lefty guard with good size and a pure shooting stroke, while Ezike, ranked No. 49, is a powerful, athletic forward with the versatility to thrive in a system where she can play positionless basketball and fill many roles.
