Gophers women’s basketball offers Hill-Murray seventh-grader Ashlee Wilson
Minnesota joins Iowa as two Big Ten programs recruiting the Pioneers guard

The Minnesota Star Tribune
Shortly after Iowa women’s basketball was the first program to offer Hill-Murray seventh-grader Ashlee Wilson, Wilson announced Thursday that the Gophers were also recruiting her early.
The 5-10 Pioneers guard won’t be joining a college basketball program until the end of the decade, but she is regarded as a top prospect both in Minnesota and nationwide ahead of most national recruiting services’ attempts to rank the Class of 2030.
Wilson averaged 13.8 points per game for Hill-Murray last season, behind only her sophomore sister Mya’s 24 points per game. The pair helped the Pioneers finish with a record of 22-7 and as Class 3A, Section 4 runner-ups.
Wilson plays for All-Iowa Attack, Caitlin Clark’s former AAU team in the Nike Elite Youth Basketball League, a popular option for top Minnesota players who head to Ames to train in the summer. She also plays golf and soccer for Hill-Murray.
In January, Hill-Murray head coach Erin Herman told The Star Tribune that Ashlee “just wants to be fed anything that will help her get better, which is really cool.”
Mya Wilson, a guard ranked as PrepZone’s No. 1 player in the state’s Class of 2027, also has offers from Minnesota and Iowa, among other Division I programs.
