Iowa women's basketball is among the five finalists for five-star forward Nation Williams.
Williams, a 6-foot-2 forward out of Las Vegas' Centennial High School, revealed to 247Sports' Dushawn London on Friday that she will be choosing between Iowa, Duke, North Carolina, Notre Dame and UCLA.
Williams has already taken an official visit to Iowa. The elite 2027 talent was in town for Iowa's 62-44 Senior Day victory over Michigan last February, where Hawkeye bigs Ava Heiden and Hannah Stuelke combined for 35 points.
Per 247Sports' 2027 rankings, Williams is the nation's No. 11 player, the No. 2 power forward and the top player from Nevada. According to ESPN, Williams is the country's No. 14 player. Per Rivals, Williams is the No. 13 player nationally and the No. 3 power forward.
Williams is rated as a five-star by ESPN, Rivals, and in the 247Sports composite rankings.
Williams just wrapped up a 2026 FIBA U17 Women’s World Cup title run with USA Basketball, where she registered 10 points, 10 rebounds and three blocks in the 82-73 championship win over Spain.
Iowa was previously announced as one of Williams' 10 finalists in late February. With this announcement, Williams trimmed Baylor, Michigan, Louisville, LSU and Washington from her list of potential options.
Here's a look at some of Williams' highlights:
