Expert Analysis
Tony Chapman | Prep Girls Hoops Scout
On a talented Omaha Westside team this winter that advanced to the Class A state tournament, Pederson played her role in the post well. She averaged just over eight points per game and was the Warriors second-leading rebounder at 5.4 per contest. Will play with Medeck and company this spring and summer for ETG where her game could really impress college coaches.

Elise Pederson Elise Pederson 6'0" | SF Omaha Westside | 2027 State NE has been a prospect that we have talked about a few times throughout the years up until this point and she is primed for a big Winter season this year with her Westside High School program. Pederson comes in right around 6’0 with a physical presence to her game near the basket. This AAU season with her ETG Midwest Elite 3SSB team, she has been one of the more consistent prospects, showing that she is willing to do anything that her coaches ask of her in their time of need. When you combined that with her size and skill level at this point, you start to see the promise. In this Update, Pederson is coming in at #20 for her Class overall, a number that she should be proud of because within this group, to be ranked at all is a tough challenge. If she continues to work on her craft and perfect what she does best, watch out. This is one of those players that could get a lot of love from collegiate recruits at the end of the day.

Elise Pederson Elise Pederson 6'0" | SF Omaha Westside | 2027 State NE is going to be one of this team’s enforcers in the middle of the lane. Pederson has always had size along with great balance and knowledge of situation basketball. At the same time, she has also really progressed as she has gotten older. Two years ago, you would not think that Pederson would make this ETG 15U line up in my opinion. She was a bigger body but that was about it. This past six months though, she has really locked in and grown into her own. She has gained a softer touch on the ball, coordination on the catch or pass, and she communicates with everyone else around her on the floor at an impressive rate. The most important part of a prospect moving into a successful AAU program is their fit. As long as Pederson plays aggressively but calculated, she is going to do just fine and even be this groups standout player at times.
