Age-Less Player Rankings: Top Five

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>During the month of September the states of Iowa and Nebraska will have their annual Player Rankings Update for each individual age-level. Before that occurs, we are going to cover the Top 15 prospects out of Nebraska, no matter the Age or Class-level. In this specific article, we highlight the top players, 1-5, while detailing our reasoning and each athlete's specific play-style.&nbsp;This list is based on current success and ability, future potential, and everything in between being taken into consideration.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><em>Thanks for tuning in and enjoy!</em></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size"><strong>1.</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["315778"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-66ccfcb8d9712"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">The skill, size, and play-style that [player_tooltip player_id='315778' first='Neleigh' last='Gessert'] brings to the court is next level and that has been on full-display for a few years now. Gessert is a 6'0 Guard, that can produce on or off of the basketball. She can handle and create off of the dribble offensively, she can knock down big shots from deep, and she can defend at a very high level at the same time. At Creighton, it'll be fun to see what Neleigh can step on the floor and do. If she gets a chance in limited minutes right away, she should make the most of that opportunity but she has a Senior high school season to look ahead to these next few months so I'm sure she is locked in on that for the time being.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size"><strong>2. </strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["315777"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-66ccfcb8d9772"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">The prospect along side of Neleigh that you always have to have in the same breathe is her twin sister and PG, Norah. Norah is the handler of the two sisters more-so if you want to keep it basic while you break things down. Norah understands how to make everyone around her better with her passing ability and that ability will most definitely translate to the next level. If her future is anything like her past has been on the hardwood, she is going to continue to see success in waves, now and later down the road with a Bluejays uniform on but for now, she is going to come in at #2 in this series.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size"><strong>3. </strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["757558"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-66ccfcb8d97b9"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Someone with superior skill, a very high motor, and a calculated feel for things when she competes is [player_tooltip player_id='757558' first='Halle' last='Dolliver'] of Malcolm High School. Dolliver stands at 5'10, she is a physical monster, she is disciplined, and she understands her own ability. This past AAU season, she proved against every level of competition that she was one of the best prospects out there, if not thee best most of the time. To end the Summer, Dolliver had an injury and she had to cut things short. As long as she comes back stronger than ever this next year, she is sure to continue to stack up her pile of Division-1 offers.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size"><strong>4. </strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["747245"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-66ccfcb8d97fc"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">[player_tooltip player_id='747245' first='Addison' last='Medeck'] of PLVS High School is someone that is on the up &amp; up these past few months on the high school and AAU scene. Medeck falls into this high ranking because of her mixture of size and future possibilities. She is one of the tallest players throughout the state at 6'2, she moves really well for that size, and Power-5/Mid-Major recruiters have already started to take notice in that. I'm expecting a big Sophomore year ahead in this situation out of Medeck. She could really take off even more this Winter but we will just have to wait and see.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size"><strong>5. </strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["276516"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-66ccfcb8d983f"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Last week [player_tooltip player_id='276516' first='Molly' last='Ladwig'] of Skutt Catholic solidified her collegiate future by committing to Buffalo to journey on following her Senior season this upcoming Winter. Ladwig is a crafty guard, with an efferent playmaking ability, a smooth shooting stroke, and she is always one of those players to get on the floor for loose balls or for the betterment of her squad. Skutt Catholic is going to be interesting this year. If they bring it, they will shine. As a group and their players individually at all age-levels. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->
