After long-time Head Coach Fran McCaffery was fired, all the prospects that initially committed to Iowa Men's Basketball decommitted.
New Iowa Head Coach Ben McCollum snagged three prospects for the 2025 class, including flipping the 2025 Iowa Mr. Basketball, Trevin Jirak, from Northern Iowa, and adding Tate Sage and Peyton McCollum.
In the biggest recruiting win of McCollum's short tenure with the program, the Hawkeyes added 2026 forward prospect Trey Thompson to the squad, and he reclassified to join the Hawkeyes next season.
After Thompson reclassified to the 2025 recruiting class, Iowa has no recruits committed for the 2026 class. Last week, they attempted to bolster the 2026 recruiting class by extending two offers.

The first prospect to receive an offer from the Iowa program last week is talented guard prospect Carlos Medlock Jr.
Medlock Jr., a Branson, Missouri native, played his junior season of basketball at Wayne Memorial High School in Wayne, Michigan, and had a solid season.
According to Hawkeyes Wire, Medlock Jr. averaged 24.5 points, 6.0 rebounds, 4.6 assists, and 3.0 steals per game for the Zebras last season.
Rivals ranked Medlock Jr. as a three-star prospect, Missouri's No. 7 prospect, the No. 28 point guard prospect, and the No. 173 overall prospect in the 2026 recruiting class.
247 Sports ranked Medlock as a four-star prospect, Missouri's No. 6 prospect, the No. 10 point guard prospect, and the No. 110 overall prospect in the 2026 recruiting class.
A few days after Medlock announced he received an offer from the Hawkeyes, he committed to Tom Izzo and the Michigan State Spartans.
If he re-opens his recruitment, Iowa will be closely monitoring his status.
