Elise Jaeger Elise Jaeger 6'1" | PF Valley | 2024 State IA didn’t cap off her high school career with a State Title but she should be extremely proud of how she has produced throughout her four years. Jaeger is an athlete with smarts, natural size, and a whole lot of heart. She is a producer on both sides of the floor and she never gives up on a play. This season Jaeger was put in a weird situation in my opinion. Her team was trying to run an offense that didn’t really work with her play style and she STILL did a great job of showing out every contest. At the next level. I have a feeling that Jaeger is going to become even better then she is right now. Her team is going to set her up for successful situations near the hoop. If she can took advantages of those moments, while understanding situation basketball, she is going to be able to make an instant impact almost right away. With all that being said, Jaeger is going to hold onto her #3 spot in this Update. She has just been too good to ignore what she is going to be able to do later on down the road at UNI.

Elise Jaeger Elise Jaeger 6'1" | PF Valley | 2024 State IA has the type of game that translates to the next level. She is a 6’1 Forward, that is very good at dominating her space on the floor. I would say that she is at her best, navigating by the rim but she can also spread out the floor and attack from 15 feet. This season has been an up and down one for the Valley Tigers but the constant for this program is the play of Jaeger and a few others. She has been doing her usual this winter, putting up an impressive stat line every night it seems like. After this year, Jaeger will be taking her talents to UNI to continue on her basketball career. A place where I think she is going to thrive. If she keeps it simple and just takes what the defense is giving her. She will have quite the college career. In this update, she retains our #3 spot.

Elise Jaeger Elise Jaeger 6'1" | PF Valley | 2024 State IA is going to have another big time season statically for her Valley High School team this winter but I don’t think she cares too much about that. I think right now that Jaeger only has one thing on her mind moving forward, that being a State Title. This is going to be the best chance that Valley and Jaeger have recently had over her past few seasons with this team, to make that happen. This season the Tigers will present a roster that could make the State Tournament and once they do, anything is possible from there. Jaeger is going to do what she does out there and dominate her matchups/the boards, while everyone else around her will need to step up and play efficiently. If this team does that, they should be pretty tough to beat. After this season, Jaeger will join UNI to compete at the Collegiate level. Something that I know she is more than excited about but that won’t have her losing focus at the task at hand, to have a Senior season to remember!

Elise Jaeger Elise Jaeger 6'1" | PF Valley | 2024 State IA committed about 15 minutes ago to play her college ball at the University Of Northern Iowa, via her social media. A big “get” for the Panthers program as Jaeger is the #3 ranked player throughout the state of Iowa, in the 2024 class. Jaeger is a 6’1 forward, who has been college bound for a few years now. She is always the biggest contributor to her teams success, while displaying next level size and athleticism. I love this move looking at the Panthers program moving forward. With the roster that they will possess, Jaeger will have a chance to come in and show what she can do right away, something I’m sure she is more than looking forward to. Hard works pays off, and that’s what this is. A lot of hard work paying off.

Elise Jaeger Elise Jaeger 6'1" | PF Valley | 2024 State IA is a forward with great size and athleticism. She plays her position well and understands everything that is going on around her. Her speed and motor are impressive to say the least, with a nice bit of physicality to throw in there as well. This spring Jaeger has received an offer from Eastern Illinois, as well as receiving interest from a few others colleges. I think that this July the offers are going to start flying in for her though. A player with her size, speed, and skill are a commodity at any level. Coaches are going to start to see that more and more as time goes on.

Elite playmaker with ideal size and strength for her position. Can play the 3-5 at the high school level but only the 3-4 at the high-end AAU level in most situations. Constant production scoring and getting her teammates involved on an every game basis. Promising ability all around. Prospect that whichever college gets her, they will be counting their blessings.

Elise Jaeger Elise Jaeger 6'1" | PF Valley | 2024 State IA moves up in this players rankings update to the #3 spot in the state in this 2024 class. Jaeger, an athletic and lengthy combo guard, really does a little bit of everything when she is on the floor. She can score, rebound, and defend. What makes her really intriuging is her size accomannied with her basketball skill. She has a high skill set and an even higher motor while possessing a quick first step and high IQ around the basket. During her junior season she averaged 12.7 PPG, 9.5 RPG, and 2.2 APG on the way to leading her team to the state tournament in Des Moines. Showing off that she is a versatile player who would do several good things on a college floor when given the opportunity. Her stats really speak volumes to the type of player she is. She would do anything to see the teammates around her succeed and that speaks maybe more than anything.

Elise Jaeger Elise Jaeger 6'1" | PF Valley | 2024 State IA has been the overall life force for this group this season on the way to the state tournament. Jaeger, who has done everything asked of her and more, will look to show everyone that her team is not going down without a fight this season. She is currently leading her team in scoring at 12.9 PPG, leading her team in rebounding at 9 RPG, and also dishing out 2.3 APG. Three big time stat lines that are going to need to be repeated going forward if this group wants a chance to win in Des Moines. This group is great on defense and really lives on that side of the floor to win games, it’s what it has been all season. The question is going to be where does all their offense come from. They are really one dimensional when it comes to scoring and their options are some-what limited in my opinion. Elise needs to keep up her production on the offensive side of the ball while the team plays the best defense of their lives. If they do that and rebound, they will have a chance to move onto the Semi’s before the season is said and done.
