Ellianna Hoefert will rejoin the Siouxland Conference this season as one of the tallest, if not thee tallest, prospect within the conference. Hoefert comes in at 6’2 as a PF/C and she is exactly the type of player you would except. She has height, she is physical under the bucket, and knows where she makes her money. She is a force on defense that opposing teams have to notice or else she is going to block/alter most of their attempts in the lane. She is dominant on offense because she can score with her back-to-the-basket with her size and physicality, she can go over smaller defenders who are between her and the basket, and she can hit her defender with a counter move if need be to help her open up more space for an attempt near the lane. All in all – I’m not sure where Hoefert is going to go to college or what sport she will play but she should have some options in the basketball world, if she so chooses.

One of the tallest prospects that the state of Iowa has to offer out of the 2027 Class in Ellianna Hoefert Ellianna Hoefert 6'2" | C/PF Central Lyon | 2027 State IA of Central Lyon High School. Hoefert is a true 6’2 C/PF. She mainly moves around the inside of the paint, looking for opportunities while controlling everything going on around her. When oppositions attempt to get all the way to the bucket, she is always right there, waiting to welcome them to the block party she is about to throw. Offensively, she doesn’t leave the paint for attempts from the outside. She knows where she makes her money and that is crucial in her development moving into her Senior year. This is someone to keep an eye on. You can’t teach this size and she possesses some promise from the looks of it/the numbers.
