Iowa State commit Von Gonten to visit Iowa, per Bartachek
Ross Bartachek also reports Fargo champ Eve Skrocki will be in Iowa City the same weekend.
Landri Von Gonten will take an official visit to Iowa this weekend, one week after committing to Iowa State, per Ross Bartachek.
The Texas native is a U17 World silver medalist and sits at No. 3 in the pound for pound rankings, per Bartachek. A commitment is not a signature, and Von Gonten is now getting an in person look at the other Division I women's program in the state before anything is binding.
Bartachek framed the trip plainly in his post.
The Texas native and U17 World silver medalist committed to Iowa State a week ago but will now travel to Iowa City for an official visit this weekend.
Nobody has said why the visit is happening or whether Von Gonten is reconsidering the Iowa State commitment.
Skrocki visiting the same weekend
Bartachek also reports that Eve Skrocki, the former Dubuque Wahlert standout, will be in Iowa City this weekend. Skrocki is a Fargo champ and a U17 World Team member, and she already knows the building. Per Bartachek, she attended RTC practices in the Iowa room this summer and is ready to get the full feel of the program.

That makes this a stacked recruiting weekend in Iowa City. Three time U17 champ Taina Fernandez is also in town, as earlier reported.
Our take: a top three pound for pound recruit taking an official visit one week after committing elsewhere is the kind of detail that tends not to stay quiet, and Iowa is stacking its biggest names into a single weekend for a reason.
What to watch
Whether Von Gonten reaffirms her Iowa State commitment or reopens her recruitment after the visit.
Whether Skrocki comes out of the weekend with a decision after a summer of training in the Iowa room.
