In her last showcase event before making the journey to Iowa City, future Hawkeye McKenna Woliczko continues to stand out with her eye-opening performances.

After ACL/meniscus injuries sidelined her for most of her junior year and into the start of her senior year, Woliczko has regained her form, and it is getting Hawkeye fans hyped.

She earned a five-star ranking, a McDonald's All-American selection, and the West Coast Preps NorCal Girls' Basketball Athlete of the Year this past season, and she even managed to outdo herself in her latest performance at a showcase event.

Everyone knows that Woliczko has immense talent, but when she showcases how good she can be on a national stage, it gets Iowa fans even more excited about her joining the program.

Woliczko showcased her all-around game in Team USA's dominating 104-77 win over Team World in the 2026 Nike Hoops Summit this weekend in Portland, Oregon.

The future Hawkeyes notched a double-double with 10 points and 13 rebounds, while also adding six assists and a block.

Her 13 rebounds (eight offensive) and six assists were all game highs, and the 13 total rebounds are a new Nike Hoops Summit record.

Woliczko's dominating performance on a national stage gave off Caitlin Clark vibes, and even though they are two completely different players, their amateur careers have a similar arc.

She is Iowa's highest-ranked recruit (No. 6 overall) since Clark (No. 4 overall) in the 2020 recruiting class, and she will make an immediate impact for the program in year one.

Jan Jensen and the program have multiple roster holes to fill before next season, but they can rest easy knowing that Woliczko will provide a much-needed boost when she arrives on campus.
