Hake Signs with Huskers

Nebraska Head Coach Amy Williams announced the signing of Collin Hake (pronounced CAL-in HAKE), one of the top players in the state of Minnesota, to join the Husker women's basketball program for the 2022-23 season.

Hake, a senior at Chanhassen High School in 2021-22, signed her National Letter of Intent to join the Huskers on the opening day of the signing period on Wednesday, Nov. 10. Hake originally made her commitment to join the Huskers in July of 2020.

"We could not be more excited to make things official today by signing Callin Hake to her Letter of Intent," Williams said. "She is going to be a versatile guard that can bring a lot of things to our team on the basketball court. I love that she is committed to playing hard on both ends of the court. Not only is Callin the perfect fit for us on the court, but she fits our family. She is not afraid to work and understands how to be a great teammate." 

Hake enters her senior season at Chanhassen within striking distance of 2,000 career points. The 5-8 guard from Victoria, Minn., has scored 1,633 points, grabbed 442 rebounds and grabbed 147 steals in her high school career.

Chanhassen's all-time leading scorer, Hake was ranked as the No. 7 player in Minnesota and ranked as the No. 64 player in the nation by Prep Girls Hoops. She was also rated as the No. 98 player in the country by Jr. All-Star National Rankings. She was invited to the U16 Team USA tryouts in Colorado Springs.

A three-time All-Metro West Conference selection for the Storm, Hake is also a three-time Chanhassen team most valuable player. Hake averaged 21.5 points per game during a junior season that was shortened by the COVID-19 pandemic in Minnesota. She averaged 22.2 points per game as a sophomore and 20.4 points per contest as a freshman at Class 4A Chanhassen.

Hake has spent six years competing for the UAA Minnesota Fury, helping the team to a national runner-up finish. She was a first-team Minnesota AAU all-state selection in 2021. 

"I chose Nebraska because of the endless opportunities the University has to offer, the coaching staff and their visions and goals, and the tight bond the girls have on and off the court," Hake said. "Also, getting to play in the best conference and go out and battle every single night is something I have always wanted to do."

Hake plans to major in marketing at Nebraska. She is the DECA President at Chanhassen High School, a two-year National Honor Society member and a four-year Key Club member.
