About Ellie
Expert Analysis
Tucker Tornberg | Prep Girls Hoops Scout
Ellie is one of my top stock risers overall of any prospect after covering her in the South Dakota Class A State Tournament. She showed up big time for her squad and showed that she is one of the top guards in this class. She isn’t afraid of the big moment and has pure shooting form that helps her step up and hit clutch shots. This summer she is playing for the Sanford Sports Academy and continues to evolve her game. She can operate as a point guard or off the ball, and has a really complete guard game. A strong basketball IQ helps her make the right play consistently whether it be knocking down shots when the defense leaves her or “hurting the help” when she gets doubled and setting up an open teammate. She’s an aggressive defender and makes it tough on opposing guards to handle the ball or get shots off. Stock is up on the talented Tea Titan guard!

Ellie came on strong late in the season and was one of the most impressive guards to show out at the Class A State Tournament. She has excellent form from beyond the arc and can knock down shots with ease. A true combo-guard Ellie can knock down shots as well as create for her teammates with excellent passes and ball-handling. This young lady seems to hit timely shot after timely shot, demonstrating a deep understanding of the game and the ability to step up when her team needs it most.
