Natalie Kussow, the No. 26 overall women’s basketball prospect in the 2026 senior class has committed to the University of Minnesota, according post on “X” from Dushawn London, a recruiting analyst with 247 Sports, and a post on Kussow’s own Instagram page.
“Kussow made an impact on both ends of the court at the Select Events Summer Classic. She has showcased herself as one of the premier wings in the class nationally. Kussow’s ability to make open shots translates well to the college game. She typically attacks off the bounce in straight lines to create opportunities in the lane. Kussow also played at the Under Armour Elite 24 and adjusted to the free-flowing pace of play by game day,” Brandon Clay, 247 Sports Director of Scouting, Women’s Basketball said.
Kussow, a 5-foot-10 shooting guard is from Arrowhead High School in Hartland, Wis. The recruiting site 247 Sports has her ranked as the fourth-best shooting guard in the country and the top overall recruit from Wisconsin.
Named the 2024-25 Gatorade Wisconsin Girls Basketball Player of the Year, Kussow is the first Gatorade Wisconsin Girls Basketball Player of the Year to be chosen from Arrowhead High School. At the time of her selection, she had led the Warhawks to a 25-3 record and a berth in the
Division 1 state quarterfinals. Kussow averaged 26.7 points, 9.9 rebounds, 3.8 steals, 3.0 assists and 1.0 blocks through 28 games.
