IOWA CITY — Iowa basketball made the top 10 programs for class of 2027 guard Jalen Davis.

Visit playerbros.org for more information.

The 10 finalists are Iowa, Texas Tech, UCLA, USC, Washington, Gonzaga, BYU, Ole Miss, TCU and Stanford.

The 6-foot-4 guard is a five-star prospect and ranked 20th nationally in the 2027 high school recruiting class, according to the 247Sports Composite. Davis attends Bremerton High School in Washington.

Davis is the reigning Gatorade Washington Boys Basketball Player of the Year. With the help of Davis, Bremerton has won back-to-back 2A state titles.

He has official visits scheduled to Iowa, Gonzaga, Ole Miss, Stanford and UCLA according to 247Sports.

Adam Finkelstein of CBS Sports wrote the following about Davis:

"Davis is a skilled guard who differentiates himself with his feel for the game, processing ability, and understanding of how to be a high-volume scorer without having to dominate the basketball. He put up over 23 points per game in the 3SSB season, on over 49% shooting from the floor, while playing largely off the ball. He moves without the ball extremely well. He’s a good cutter, knows how to use screens, and is still a very effective passer. There aren’t many players in high school basketball who can read a pin-down and then make a pocket pass if the big helps on his catch, but Davis is one of them. His ability to make quick reads and decisions is one of the most impressive parts of his game."

Here are some highlights of Davis:

Davis is not the only guard that the Hawkeyes are pursuing in the 2027 class. Iowa is also targeting five-star Cayden Daughtry, whose national profile blew up this summer, and four-star Jaxson Davis. Iowa recently made the top six schools for Jaxson Davis.

Iowa currently has one commitment in its 2027 recruiting class. Versatile 6-foot-10 Keller Daugherty is a four-star prospect and ranked 89th nationally in the class, according to the 247Sports Composite.
