Another recent commitment for Wayne State out of the Nebraska area is Ansley Elofson of Fort Calhoun High School. Elofson is a 6’0 PF with some dominance and finesse by the bucket. Offensively, she is good at outworking those around her, she knows how to finish through contact, and she can attack from about 15FT away from the hoop. Defensively, she is can wall up the middle and control the pace of play, she rebounds at a steady rate, and she is very good at coming over from help-side to alter shot attempts when her teammates might happen to get beat. Overall as a player, there is a lot to like out of Elofson. She brings a lot of possibilities and options to the floor on both ends and that’s something you love to see.

The 6-foot junior had a huge week for the Pioneers as they won the Capitol Conference tournament and moved to 17-1 on the season. In the finals against Yutan, she scored 16 points and grabbed 15 rebounds and for the tournament she scored 59 points and hauled down 36 rebounds for coach Eric Jones. On the season, Elofson — who should be on a load of college radars — has averaged 16.1 points and 9.3 rebounds per game. She hopes to lead the Pioneers to state for the first time since 2007.

Elofson has height, lengthy arms, touch, and she loves physicality. That is a hard combination to stop on any floor when that player is motivated and Elofson was motivated to finish things off in this battle.

Overall, this group should be tough to stay in-front of in the Post season in a month if they continue to play this way with Elofson at the helm.

The size, promise, and adaptability that Ansley Elofson Ansley Elofson 6'0" | PF Fort Calhoun | 2027 State NE has demonstrated since she was a Freshman has been eye-catching and noteworthy.

AE doesn’t do anything flashy or kill you with crazy skill moves – instead she lets the game come to her and that makes everything seem effortless. She won’t be the one to run up bad shots or to not listen to the coach, while being pretty skilled with size on both ends of the floor. Thats really all you can ask for from an outside perspective. This is Elofson’s first D2 offer. Hopefully she can ride this momentum into another before the Winter season kicks off.

Something that is more than do-able at this moment in time.

Fort Calhoun returns a good amount of prospects back from a year ago and they are ready to make some noise. Someone at their PF position, that has great size, wherewithal, and coordination is Ansley Elofson Ansley Elofson 6'0" | PF Fort Calhoun | 2027 State NE . Elofson isn’t the type to lead her team in scoring each night but she will always contribute in a few positive ways. To kick off this Winter season, Elofson has been doing a little bit of scoring and rebounding but where she has stood out to myself is in the Blocks department. She is averaging nearly 2 Blocks per contest in their first few games and if that can keep up all Winter long, it’ll be noteworthy not only within her own program but from a state-wide point of view. She is consistently proving that she is someone opposing teams have to worry about in the lane and that weighs on others, much more than some might realize.

The future is really bright for Elofson at this point in the process of things. She is putting up state recognized numbers during high school ball, meaningful numbers during AAU ball on a national circuit, and she continues to expand her abilities. If this keeps up, the sky is the limit but for now, she moves up to the #19 spot.

Ansley Elofson Ansley Elofson 6'0" | PF Fort Calhoun | 2027 State NE showed more promise than expected as a Freshman on the Varsity floor at Fort Calhoun High School last Winter and I’m thinking that she is going to build on that big time in the near future. Elofson comes in standing at 6’0, she understands the game of basketball and situation ball placement, she is athletic and coordinated for her height, and she is as selfless as they come. She competed this AAU season with a nationally known program in the ETG Midwest Elite and I’m sure she will do the same this next season. If last Winter was any indication of what she is going to be able to become by the time she is an upperclassmen, than everyone should watch out cause she is going to be a handful to say the least.
