Get to Know Elle ...
What is the significance behind your jersey number?
I’ve always worn 21 since middle school and never changed.
Who was your favorite player growing up? Who did you emulate your game after?
My favorite player growing up was Katie Lou Samuelson.
How would you describe your style of play to someone who has never watched you?
I love to shoot the three and play fast and versatile in a lot of aspects.
Who is your biggest role model?
Kate Martin is my biggest role model.
Why did you choose KU?
I chose KU because it checked all my boxes in what I was looking for. I loved all the coaches and the playing style here. Kansas basketball also has such a special name for itself and I wanted to be a part of something special. On my visit I just knew this was where I wanted to be.
