Jada Gyamfi, one of the rising stars of NCAA basketball, received an unforgettable surprise just as she prepared for a pivotal season with the Iowa Hawkeyes. With the regular season around the corner and emotions running high, two familiar faces-former teammates Kate Martin and Gabbie Marshall-showed up unannounced, delivering a touching moment that left Gyamfi in happy tears.
After serving in a supporting role during her first two seasons, Gyamfi is ready to step into the spotlight following the departure of Caitlin Clark and several key players from the team that made back-to-back appearances in the NCAA Women’s Basketball Finals. Recognizing the challenges ahead, Martin and Marshall seized the opportunity to uplift their friend.
Martin and Marshall’s surprise reunion
Marshall, on the other hand, decided to retire from basketball after completing her fifth year with the Hawkeyes. She has since transitioned to a Master’s program in occupational therapy at the University of North Carolina.
With Caitlin Clark notably absent from this reunion, fans are already anticipating the next get-together featuring the former Hawkeye stars who brought so much joy to Iowa’s basketball faithful.
Kate Martin, fresh off her first WNBA season with the Las Vegas Aces, began her offseason by reuniting with old teammates. In a TikTok video shared by Marshall, the two embark on a road trip after Martin picks Marshall up from the airport, heading straight to Gyamfi’s apartment for the surprise.
The emotional moment unfolds as Gyamfi bursts into tears at the sight of her former teammates. Fans were quick to react, with Gyamfi herself commenting, “I AM ON CLOUD 9.”
The video also sparked a wave of heartwarming fan reactions. One follower exclaimed, “Omg and the Kate special appearance too squaddd up,” while others chimed in with comments like, “I’m crying, this is adorable,” and “This is so wholesome and cutesy I love it.” Another fan demanded, “I NEED MORE REUNIONS AHH.”
Life After Iowa: Where are Martin and Marshall now?
Martin, selected by the Aces in the second round of the 2024 WNBA Draft, started her rookie season strong but saw her role diminish by the playoffs, logging just three minutes in their first-round series loss to the New York Liberty.
Marshall, on the other hand, decided to retire from basketball after completing her fifth year with the Hawkeyes. She has since transitioned to a Master’s program in occupational therapy at the University of North Carolina.
With Caitlin Clark notably absent from this reunion, fans are already anticipating the next get-together featuring the former Hawkeye stars who brought so much joy to Iowa’s basketball faithful.
