Ellison is completed an excellent high school career with an outstanding senior season for Pickens before signing with North Georgia where she will continue her athletic and academic career. Ellison is a scorer, pure and simple, and while she does everything well, this is what made her such a nightmare on opposing defenses. She is long, making her shot difficult to block and even alter on the high school level. She is an underrated athlete and gets good elevation her shots as well. Steinhauer incorporated the drive more and more to her game over the last few years making her one of the more complete offensive players in Georgia. She handled all of the defensive pressure and attention well when I saw her live, picking apart the opposing teams’ defense with the pass in both games. She is an excellent ball handler as well who rarely turns the ball over of forces a bad shot. Her game should translate very well on the next level.

Ellison, who recently signed to play at North Georgia) finished the season averaging over 23 points and 14 rebounds for Pickens in a very difficult 6AAA region. The most impressive thing about Ellison’s game is her composure and calm on the ball. She does not get sped up by the other teams defense, but does a great job changing up her pace with the ball keeping the opposing guards off balance. Steinhauer is an elite shooter off the pass and dribble where she has improved in creating her own shot the last couple years. Ellison is very talented and her team is battle tested in a very difficult region 6AAA with GAC, White County, Lumpkin, and North Hall who all won their opening games in the tournament. She will need a big individual performance for Pickens to win versus Jenkins.

Elite balance with the ball. Loves her trademark spin move into a mid-range pull-up. Plays off two feet in traffic. Slashing finisher with both hands. Wiry guard has great functional strength. Exceptional post-up guard who knows how to score with her back to the basket.

Ellison is on the verge of cementing herself as a D-I prospect. Her intangibles and understanding of the game are through the roof, the daughter of a former head coach. Steinhauer is wiry and thin, but there is lean muscle on her frame and she plays with functional strength, a tough finisher through contact and a crafty slasher who doesn’t easily get moved off her spot. Ellison has developed a hitch her jump shot but it’s a mechanic that hasn’t altered how good of a shooter she is. Steinhauer scores from all over and is a quick instinct defender.  

Burgeoning D-I prospect averaged 18.4 points, 4.6 rebounds, 2.1 assists and 1.4 steals while netting 83 threes at a 39.5% rate.
