Nebraska’s Best 2021’s: Part I

It's never too early to start looking for talent, and Nebraska is not short on that in it's 2021 class.  Some of Nebraska's best players come from this class, and it is a deep, strong group with numerous players holding Division I offers in their hands before entering their junior year.  Today, we'll take a look at the first half of 2021's, with the second half coming soon. <strong>Aanaya Harris (Team Factory/ Omaha Burke)- </strong>Harris is perhaps the biggest beneficiary of the summer of 2019, coming out of the AAU circuit with multiple lower level Division I offers with one Power Five offer from Xavier out of the Big East.  Her club coach, Brittany Wilson, believes that Harris has the biggest upside in the state. At 6'0", Harris is a tall point guard with great play-making ability and vision. If Harris continues to improve at her current rate, more Power Five offers are probably coming her way. <strong>Allison Weidner (All Nebraska Attack/ Humphery St. Francis High School)-</strong> Perhaps the top prospect in the state in the 2021 class, Weidner has made her name known to the regions Power Five schools.  A great athlete with a smooth, left-handed mid-range game, Weidner came out of the summer with offers from Nebraska, Creighton, South Dakota, South Dakota State and Wyoming, to name a few.  Weidner has next level vision who projects to be a high level wing player at the next level.  Look for Weidner to be one of the top five players, regardless of class, this season in Nebraska, after averaging 20 points a game as a sophmore. <strong>Aryannah Harrison (Team Factory/ Omaha Marian)- </strong>A 5'7" score-first combo guard, Harrison does a great job of consistently getting to into the paint and drawing defenders, contact or both.  A strong upper body allows Harrison to punish opponents with her dribble drive game, and her improved ability of reading defenses will only make her more dangerous.  Harrison is a strong leader who is also an improved shooter.  Harrison has an offer from Nebraska-Kearney, but could possibly project out to lower level Division I offers if she continues to improve at the strides she has already established. <strong>Avery Kallman (Omaha Sports Academy/ Gretna High School)- </strong>Kallman is a bruising, 6'1" post player for the Dragons.  A strong post game helps this lefty defend and score well against high level competition this summer.  Kallman is a great rebounder at both ends and has a real knack for reading the ball off the rim.  She is continually developing her face-up game to compliment her around the basket repetoire.  Kallman hopes to bounce back from an injury plagued sophmore year to lead Gretna into the upper echelon of Class A in Nebraska after their enrollment moved them up from their traditional Class B status. <strong>Celia Hacker (Team Factory/ Omaha Marian)-</strong> Harrison's high school running mate, Hacker is a 5'6" combo guard that is one of the state's best shooters.  Hacker has a good off the bounce game and shoots above 90% from the free throw line in both high school and club ball.  Celia is also an underrated on-ball defender with quick hands.  Injured for part of the AAU circuit, she's flying a bit under the radar right now, but has drawn interest from several high-powered Division II schools, including Truman State and Northwest Missouri State. <strong>Charli Earth (All Nebraska Attack/ Fremont High School)- </strong>A great complimentary piece to run alongside one of the state's best players in Taylor McCabe, Earth is a 5'10" wing with a good frame and a high skill level.  Earth can play both inside and outside, with her perimeter shooting ability perhaps being her strongest asset.  Earth's continued improvement should increase her visibility, with alot of the schools from the MIAA and Northern Sun conferences inquiring about her after the summer. <strong>Gracie Haneborg (Nebraska Pride/ North Platte High School)- </strong>Speaking of under the radar, Haneborg is just that.  A great on ball defender with lightning quick hands and feet, Haneborg is leading a resurgence of the Bulldog program in the Nebraska panhandle.  An outstanding decision-maker, Haneborg needs to improve on her jump shot to really take her game to the next level.  A multi-sport athlete who competes with a high motor, Haneborg is a diamond in the rough that schools should give a good long look to. <strong>Hailey Ingram (Team Factory/ Omaha Burke)- </strong>One of Harrison's running mates at Omaha Burke, Ingram is a 5'8" wing player with a very promising upside.  An outstanding catch and shoot player, Ingram has a quick release, but she also can make teams pay off the bounce and get into the paint.  Smaller schools should take a look at Ingram, as she is the type of shooter and athlete that can excel at that level. &nbsp;
