College Commitment Update - August 19th, 2024

We are at a time in the year where we see and hear about a lot of commitments or offers being received from the collegiate level. In this article, we highlight a few prospects from Iowa and Nebraska, who have recently committed to a specific place to continue on their collegiate journey.   (Each Monday moving forward, we will continue to highlight recently committed prospects because of how many of them make their commitment during this time of the year.)   Thanks for tuning in and enjoy!    As of last week, [player_tooltip player_id='336031' first='Sara' last='Harley'], the #15 overall rated prospect out of the 2025 Class and #2 rated SG, is off the board with her commitment to Concordia University. Harley will join up with some other recent graduates from Nebraska High School's from years past, in hopes of taking her game at a whole other level on the collegiate floor. As you might imagine, Harley is a knockdown shooter, that has the ability to handle under pressure, make the easy and open pass, and she can defend her position against alike sized prospects. You can only see the floor in college if you can defend your position. As long as Harley shows off that ability right away and she keeps her sweet shooting stroke from deep, I'm sure she will have her opportunities to flourish these next couple of years.     Ballard High School has had some baller prospects come out of their program the past couple of years. Prospects that have impressive skill-sets, high yielding production, and smart basketball minds. Their most recent collegiate commit comes to us in the form of PG, [player_tooltip player_id='311386' first='Raegan' last='Loewe']. Loewe is a 5'6 PG, that holds her own in her position, while being someone that has been sought after to compete at the next level by a few schools, for a few months now. I know that Loewe had interesting from most D3 schools throughout the Midwest but at the end of the day, she picked U of Wisconsin - La Cross to continue on her journey. This is a program that I don't know too much about but as long as Loewe brings her usual energy, she should fit in just fine.     One of the best RPG that the state of Nebraska had to offer was PF, [player_tooltip player_id='316642' first='Taryn' last='Ottemann'] of Johnson-Brock High School and a few days ago she committed to Grand View in Iowa to continue on her journey. Ottomann is a solid body with a physicality about her and some good knowledge of when, to do what on the floor. As for Grand View, this is the program's 2nd-3rd pickup the past few weeks from prospects out of the state of Iowa and Nebraska. This is a program that is known for their fundamental play style so as long as they continue to teach these prospects their system, they should continue to do well moving forward.     [player_tooltip player_id='427919' first='Paige' last='Myers'] of Omaha Westview High School is a guard that has produced eye-opening numbers at the Varsity level the past couple of seasons with her squad, while at the same time, she has been a stud on the Lacrosse field. All of this ability led Myers to receive collegiate interest for both sports but in the end, she picked Lacrosse to be her sport at the next level and I don't blame her. From what I've seen, she is a monster on the Lacrosse field and I'm sure that is not going to change when she suits up for Steven's Point in 2025. It doesn't change the fact that she is sure to put up more rememberable numbers this Winter for her Senior basketball season but we will just have to see how she does.
