In an effort to highight the the <a href="https://prepgirlshoops.com/nebraska/rankings/2021-rankings/">PGH Nebraska rankings</a> in the most complete way possible, I've divided the 2021 class into 3 ranges: 1-25, 26-50, and outside the top 50. For each range I have chosen who I think are the best shooters, rebounders, passers, and scorers – 5-6 players for each category – and identified what makes them successful. Here are the best senior rebounders in the 26-50 range.
<span style="font-size: 14pt;"><strong>[player_tooltip player_id="94464" first="Keisha" last="Snyder"] - </strong>Winnebago</span>
<span style="font-size: 12pt;"><strong>Position:</strong> C<strong> Height:</strong> 5’10"<strong> 2019-2020 Pts./Reb./Ast.: </strong>14.7/11.3/2.1</span>
Keisha pulled down 1/3 of her team’s total rebounds from last season, and the story should be the same for her senior year. Throughout the entire possession she keeps a mental note of the position of her assignment in relation to the ball, the hoop and herself. Once the shot goes up, she knows actually how she needs to box out and where to be on the court because of it.
<span style="font-size: 14pt;"><strong>[player_tooltip player_id="173684" first="Meg" last="Schluns"] - </strong>O’Neill</span>
<span style="font-size: 12pt;"><strong>Position:</strong> SG<strong> Height:</strong> 5’6"<strong> 2019-2020 Pts./Reb./Ast.: </strong>12.2/9/2.4</span>
You just have to appreciate a small guard who can compete down low among the trees. Meg has excellent anticipation, and crashes on every single shot. Her rebounds are particularly dangerous because she is a threat to pull it down and sprint it up the floor herself.
<span style="font-size: 14pt;"><strong>[player_tooltip player_id="173689" first="Kaylee" last="Kessler"] - </strong>Millard North</span>
<span style="font-size: 12pt;"><strong>Position:</strong> C<strong> Height:</strong> 6’0"<strong> 2019-2020 Pts./Reb./Ast.: </strong>9.4/6.3/0.7</span>
The senior center is a force down low, stealing extra possessions for her team. She is great at muscling up a defender or two to occupy them, and even if she doesn’t scoop it up herself, she creates an opportunity for her teammate to do so.
<span style="font-size: 14pt;"><strong>[player_tooltip player_id="173694" first="Kylie" last="Baumert"] - </strong>Sutton</span>
<span style="font-size: 12pt;"><strong>Position:</strong> PF<strong> Height:</strong> 5’10"<strong> 2019-2020 Pts./Reb./Ast.: </strong>16/9.1/1.3</span>
The length that makes it so difficult to guard Kylie also makes it frustrating to battle with her for rebounds. She has great hands, so if she gets them on the ball it’s tough to knock it away. Additionally, she can and will take the the ball up the court herself, making her a fast break threat on each rebound.
<span style="font-size: 14pt;"><strong>[player_tooltip player_id="173696" first="Erica" last="Stratman"] - </strong>Cross County</span>
<span style="font-size: 12pt;"><strong>Position:</strong> PF<strong> Height:</strong> 6’1"<strong> 2019-2020 Pts./Reb./Ast.: </strong>13/7.4/1</span>
At her size, Erica is very nice on her feet. She maneuvers the lane well, slipping into tight spaces to snatch rebounds. She has athleticism in addition to her length, which makes her a tough matchup in the post.
