Sanai Foster Sanai Foster 6'2" | PF Omaha Westside | 2026 State NE ended up not finishing out the AAU season but to think that someone at 6’2 with some athletic ability and a beautiful shooting stroke isn’t wanted by someone at the next level is somewhat insane. Foster brings that natural size and prowess that all coaches love to work with. Offensively, her shooting stroke is solid and she makes a lot of good choices with the ball in her position. This Winter Westside will be down a few players due to graduation and transfers so Foster should have the chance to step up in a major way. If she does that and is motivated enough to play at the next level, she might be able to help someone out before you know it.

Sanai Foster Sanai Foster 6'2" | PF Omaha Westside | 2026 State NE of Omaha – Westside High School will return this Winter as her team’s main piece in the middle of the floor. Foster is a 6’2 PF with a smooth shooting stroke, athletic reach, soft touch on the basketball, and a lot of promise in other facets of the game. She put up some respectable numbers last season in PPG and on the glass on both ends but she will be looked upon to step it up over the next six months. Which, she could definitely do that. She just needs to stay hungry and she should feast for one more go-around.

Foster in this one could not be stopped by the hoop. Her mixture of height at 6’2 and her athletic ability made her a tough opponent to box out, stay in front of, or to keep from getting to any spots she really wanted to throughout the contest. She finished things off with 15 points on 58% shooting and she grabbed 6 rebounds, mainly on the defensive side of things. All in all, Norfolk just couldn’t handle Westside as a whole. At the end of the contest, all 13 players who saw the floor for Warriors scored in one way or another. This speaks not only to how well Westside is playing right now as a group but it also speaks to what they might be able to do down the line, in the future.

“Foster’s raw potential mixed with her size is noteworthy. This is someone that’s has a fundamental shot from all three levels, she can get to her spots at Will, and she can also dish out some nice assists as well. Defensively, her size plays a nice factor to help her program on that side of the ball almost every other play, in one way or another. I’m sure the rest of this Winter that she will put up solid numbers with this Varsity team in general as they attempt to continue to make some waves.”

Omaha Westside High School has 2 other prospects that were in consideration for this spot but I think that Sanai Foster Sanai Foster 6'2" | PF Omaha Westside | 2026 State NE could really be their “X-Factor”, the next two seasons if she continues to grow. There is another level to Foster’s game. You can tell just by watching her. When she get things to really click down the line, she is going to be a really productive player with her combination of size and skill. She just has to unlock that aggressive but calculated play-style, all while continuing to show off what type of motor she has. If she does all that, she is going to be one tough individual to contain on both ends.

Sanai Foster Sanai Foster 6'2" | PF Omaha Westside | 2026 State NE of Omaha Westside High School was overshadowed this past AAU season competing with her 17U Elite 3SSB’] program but that doesn’t change the fact that Foster has fantastic size, better than average skill, a silky smooth shot form, and a difference making ability on the defensive side of the ball with her mixture of length and knowledge of when to go for a block/steal, compared to sitting back and letting the ball come to her. Out of the 2026 Class in Nebraska, Foster is a Top 10 prospect because of all the intangibles I mentioned above. I’m sure she is going to step up this Winter, competing at a high rate and I’m sure that will translate to her last AAU season during the 2025 calendar year as well.

If she continues to run with this group and she takes what the defense is giving her, she is going to continue to see a lot of success moving into the future.
