McKenna Woliczko is ready to make a decision.

The 5-star women’s basketball prospect from California will announce her collegiate decision Wednesday, Oct. 1 at 8 a.m. PT/10 a.m. CT, ending a months-long recruiting battle spanning coast to coast. Woliczko will choose between a final four of South Carolina, Iowa, USC and Ohio State.

Ranked as the No. 6 prospect in the 2026 class by both ESPN and 247Sports Composite, Woliczko took her last official visit to Iowa City the weekend of Aug. 30 and officially visited South Carolina in June. The general belief is that the Gamecocks and Hawkeyes are the front-runners for the 6-foot-2 power forward.
