Top Iowa basketball prospect earns SEC offer image

Averie Lower's strong summer has resulted in a top offer from an SEC program.

Lower, who will be a senior at Clear Creek-Amana in the fall, added an offer from Missouri on the same day as she received one from Arizona State. She is a 6-foot shooting guard who ESPN has given a scouts grade of 92 to.

As a junior, Lower averaged 22.5 points, 9.3 rebounds, three assists, three steals and a block per game for the Clippers. She shot over 48 percent from the field and 42 percent from the 3-point line.
