The top-rated high school basketball recruit in Minnesota’s 2026 class is headed to Iowa State.

Wayzata guard Christian Wiggins announced his commitment to the Cyclones on Saturday. The 6-foot-4 guard is considered a four-star recruit and a top 70 player in the nation, according to 247Sports.

Wiggins received a scholarship offer from Iowa State in May 2024, but no offer from the Gophers until March 30, after Niko Medved became the new head coach. Iowa, Creighton, Wisconsin and Northern Iowa also offered scholarships.

Wiggins led Wayzata over Cretin-Derham Hall for the Class 4A boys basketball championship on March 22.
