UNK-Kearney received a commitment at the end of last week from home-town hero, Kelsey Hatcher Kelsey Hatcher 5'9" | PG Kearney | 2025 State NE of Kearny High School. Hatcher will join UNK as someone that most already know from the area. If you don’t know Hatcher, she is a quick-thinker in clutch moments and someone that is going to make a play happen whenever her team’s system might break down. She has a nasty cross with a great change of speed when looking to go at her defender and that helps lead into all other facets of her play-style. She hasn’t been Kearny’s only source of production over the years but she has been one of their most consistent. As a PG, I’d put Hatcher in the pass-first category but she can still score it thoroughly if need be as well. At Kearney, I’m sure she will be looked upon to do both but we will just have to wait and see.

Kelsey Hatcher Kelsey Hatcher 5'9" | PG Kearney | 2025 State NE lit up the stat sheet last Winter with her three point shooting ability. By the end of the season, Hatcher was averaging just under 15 PPG, while the next best number after that was from a prospect that averaged just over 7. A big reason for this success is because of the volume. Hatcher even had an instance where she made 7 three points in one contest, which speaks to her shooting ability. Kearney is going to return a few prospects from last year so they should be in a good place. They are going to look at Hatcher to make some important shoots down the stretch and to have big games but that’s nothing new to her, so I’m sure she is ready.
